2020/21 Michael Keane

[Neiler]

Think people underestimate how much our defence has been under the kosh in recent years.

Always liked him, turning into a real presence and leader.

 

[Goat]

Best CB in the league.

 

[maccavennie]

Excellent

 

[atypicalusername]

Great job today

 

[Osamabindiesel]

On that set piece, Richy and Keane need to sort that bit out because they shouldn’t be standing on top of each other. Whenever we get beat on set pieces it’s often because two players are marking the same area. Both need to communicate a little better there

 

[Pabbers]

His fault for their goal.

he was still good today

 

[TheBigIguana]

So we all agree he is good on the ball now? Or are people still struggling to see beyond the preconceived notions on this one?

 

[Terrarian]

Good start to the season from Keano

I enjoyed his Beckenbaur-esque run up the middle in the first half, most of his passing was good today too. I'd pin their goal on Richie, wrong side of his man.

Yeah I think it is Richie's fault too. The ball is too high to expect Keane to head away so it is up to the man in the zone behind him to step up.

Also Pickford should be out for it, but that is another conversation.

Are we still doing zonal marking? Because if not, how did they both manage to not be making anyone

It had to be zonal. There is either a mixup between Keane and Richy or Richy is the free man that watches back post. Either way I hate to see set pieces conceded like this.

That is exactly what I believe as well,. come out and punch away.

It was the only way they were concerning us today, which considering their pacey, skillful attack is positive.

I think if we were man marking today not zonal the communication would be better.
