2020/21 Michael Keane

Mentally weak, has hit a ceiling ability wise. He’s a problem, far from our biggest problem granted, but on the list of items to be addressed. Moon head has left his successors one hell of a rebuild (which one January of fat Sam made worse).
First sentence sums up my opinion. I'm not a fan. Because of his lack of pace we sit too deep creating too much space in front. Sell please
 

There’ll always be a massive gap between our midfield and defence because this bloke had to almost be on the goal line with Pickford to prevent players running past him. Too slow, too hesitant, not good enough, but he has an average game and fans think he’s great. Give me prime Jagielka Lescott Yobo Distin Heitinga Stones over this guy any day. A lower end premier league centreback.
 
He also gives the ball away a lot. I mean most of our players do. The centre backs are poor but there isn’t many decent ones out there anyhow. We should be performing better though. The main reason for our poor defensive record is how much we give the ball away under zero pressure. And most of the decent teams now in the league are quick and good counter attackers. When the roles are reversed, the DCL goal aside last week, we tend to take too long on the ball or go backwards. I mean the amount of times today we were in promising positions but it ended up a throw in was countless.
My dad told me when I was a kid and I always remember it: bad players give the ball away under no pressure. Good players keep the ball under pressure.
This fella falls into the former and don’t get me started on his defending
 
He’s the embodiment of the modern everton - nice lad, tries hard but ultimately nowhere near good enough. Seeing bamford bullying him in certain possessions today and the way he never sees danger just frustrates the life out of me.

what have we give him - a 5 year deal? Signing up for more mediocrity

Youre being so kind...hes basically Craig Short without any heart.

Looks like Mina will be sold so we'll go with Keane another season.

Astounding that England went from Terry, Campbell, Adams et al to this level of centre back.

Likewise, Jagielka, Distin, Lescott to this guy...

5 year deal...shambolic.
 
It’s always his defensive partners who get the blame but it’s club foot thats always the common denominator, absolutely bang average who has a little good patch every several months. Stuck with him now though for another 5 years on massive wage, should’ve tried to get our money back and get quality in

Weve got to try and find a buyer in Jan when supposedly fees are inflated.

Hopefully someone is daft enough to give us £30mil for him.
 
Brilliant defender in a low block or when defending a lead, that's about it. Not sure why he is so unable to go tight with a forward, any forward who drops deep he just seems to let them have so much time (Martial, Ings, Bamford, Firmino, even Cavaleiro caused him problems). Just too flawed for a side wanting top 6.
