The problem with Everton fans is you are either good as the mid 80s team or you are sh1te. There is no in between. Unfortunately Keane is not as good as Ratcliffe, therefore he is rubbish.
The reality is that he is a very good defender. Not world class, but still very good nonetheless. Which apparently means he is sh1te.
If only the Spurs and Arsenal scouts were as good at spotting talent as most GoT posters o_O
He is not rubbish, also he is not very good, he lies somewhere in the middle.
 
You mean like Salah and Mane did a few weeks ago...you hope
I'd prefer it if he saved his next moment of slapstick for a lesser opponent than Arsenal. It's going to be difficult enough to get anything out of this game without someone handing them a head start.

This is the Keane thread, think you've you got the wrong one
 
Which if we have any real ambition,just isn't good enough.
But you can say that about Mina and Zouma, neither of those two look good enough if we want top 6, and neither have been as good as Keane this season. In fact you can say it about most of the squad apart from Lucas.
Ive often believed a team is only as good as the weakest link, which is far from being Keane
 
Did he not have a head injury which put him out for a while???
That was earlier this season. He’s been much better all of this season than he was last so I assumed you were referring to the foot injury that sometimes gets used to cover the fact he was woeful.

He’s improved a lot this season and has, occasionally, even looked good. There’s definitely some revisionism going on with some people though, he’s still been dodgy as hell at times, even the 2nd half at Newcastle and the 1st half at Chelsea in the last 3 games were hopeless from an individual viewpoint.

I don't think the foot injury can be so easily dismissed as "just a cut". Koeman went full Michael Ball on him with the painkilling injections, etc - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...el-Keane-played-couldve-lost-foot-injury.html

As you say, he's been much better this season and I would say our most consistent performer at centre back - albeit that's not a high bar.

Three different managers (one who is still employed by the club) picked him during this period. The club doctor who didn’t intervene is also still employed by the club. And yet Keane seems perfectly content to stay here. So yeah I think it was just a cut, would you be happy to carry on entrusting your safety to people who had done what he suggests we did to him? I know I wouldn’t.

There seems to be a huge amount of hyperbole in the later reports of the injury to me. ‘The inside of my boot was covered in blood’; well it will be won’t it?! That’s what happens when you cut yourself and don’t treat it. It’s made to sound shocking when it’s actually exactly what you’d expect. ‘He nearly lost his leg’ in the same way that my mate nearly had my eye out with a pool cue; in that he didn’t even touch my eye but he wasn’t that far away and if he had I’d have lost it.
