agreed, I think the two youngsters will end up first choice
I know what you mean but playing 3 at the back with players you don't know well confuses the issue in picking players up. It wouldn't have helped
I watch him very closely every game, that’s why I notice his flaws are are all still there, one exception, he’s started using the five and ten yard gaps that have always been there in front of him since he came from Burnley, doesn’t use them often enough but when he does he’s created something.
Okay. Some people change their minds like oil tankers change direction, which is fair enough. Would be interested to hear your thoughts at the end of the season.
Yes you’re right, 80% was too low on the easy pass, I did mention he’s improved, slightly, on passing the ball through the lines. I don’t see any leadership qualities in Michaels play, but you are correct again, it’s what Carlo sees in our players, not the fans,hope Carlo sees what I can’t. I‘m definitely glad he’s over any depressive worries he had, I wish him well, I just see him the I see him, slight improvement, very slight,but nothing to want me to keep him here permently.
Well I hope I have changed my mind about Michael, as you say, at the end of the season, I’m big enough to put my hands up and admit when I’m wrong, let’s wait and see and in the meantime enjoy the better quality football that we are all, I think, seeing from the team.
In fairness he has improved in certain area's and when we're playing a deeper back line he is a very good Premier defender. He does still have issues, not least his lack of pace and recovery abilities, and occasionally his positioning although the latter is greatly improved of late.
To be honest, Keane makes the easy pass even when the player he passes to is covered, lots of times by two players, so the ball usuallycomes back to him, he’ll then pass it to his fellow centre back, who passes it back to him, and he passes it back to Pickford who started the whole nonsense again or Kicks it up the field. Watch Godfrey when he gets in the team, which can’t be quick enough for me, he’ll use the ball much better than Michael without dithering about and giving the opposition time to regroup.
You sound like some of the posters in the DCL thread, manfully sticking to their guns “I watch him closely and he’s never a prem striker, not good enough” etc... What are you hoping to achieve, come on here when Keane inevitably makes a mistake to say “told you so”? How pointless. Nobody thinks Keane is perfect or has no flaws, he does and everyone knows what they are, even Keane himself. People see a guy really trying to step up his performances, making a marked improvement and are getting behind him - maybe you should try it.
