Much better second half but definitely needs replacing.

Anyone else get this really bad scary feeling when he’s near the ball
I said after the derby he shouldn’t be anywhere near the first team. Just needs to go back to Burnley or someone of that ilkAnyone else get this really bad scary feeling when he’s near the ball
I remember watching him at Chelsea last season during the 0-0 draw there. He was apparently in the middle of a “purple patch” when loads on here were saying how well he was playing. I commented then, after seeing him twice needlessly putting the ball into touch with misplaced passes, that he’s a mistake or two away from plunging into the depths of his performances the previous season.
To his credit, he was reasonable last season. But this year, after a poor start, he’s ( amazingly) been picked by England, during which he’s performed poorly, and now, has indeed, plunged back into the depths of the season before last.He is clearly a confidence player, but at the moment, he’s running on empty in that department.
If I were a tactician ( and I’m certainly not) , the first thing I’d say is punt the the ball upfield over the top. Keane is incredibly vulnerable when that is done. He has no pace in turning, and rarely have I seen a centre half with so little upper body strength. He is knocked off the ball so easily it’s alarming.
On a positive note, and to his credit, he recovered from a ghastly first half yesterday, but I could name a dozen centre backs in the premier league who are far better players than him.
The January transfer market is on the horizon and surely, we have to invest heavily in a new centre back, a dynamic midfielder and of course, some more firepower up front.
