2020/21 Michael Keane

[Saint Domingo]

This is why he isn’t making the England squad. Awful in a back three, far too slow, ponderous on the ball, can’t concentrate for 90 minutes. Not good enough. I know he’s a favourite on here, but we need seriously better to progress as a club. Very very poor.

I like Keane but its funny when people say Koulibaly wouldn't be a top signing for us in the summer.

Streets ahead of all our CB's.

Terrible today, went wondering into midfield.. is that on Carlo?

 

[atypicalusername]

Keane seemed less assured today but he's still a top quality defender

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Didn't look comfortable in that position all game.

 

[Bluewolf]

one of his worst performances in a everton shirt today. Gave the ball away in some terrible positions, Constantly looses the flight of the ball from simple over the top balls and was at fault for the goal imo. If we had to get rid on one cb this season it'd be him.

Amazed people rate him so highly on here.

He should be sold...

...not his worst performance though, hes been much much much worse plenty of times.

He’s nowhere near good enough. Nowhere near. It’s just sentiment from Everton fans that believe he is. No other top half team would touch him.

 

[edge]

At fault for the goal, we need a leader at the back him or Mina are not that going forwards.

 

[Eggs]

...all of his deficiencies are exposed when he plays in the right of a three.

He’s poor without support on either side.

Let’s not forget we’ve all been reading on here all week that we don’t need a new CB. We’re set for years apparently.

The big problem Is the quality in the whole squad, especially With a few injuries. Non of the 3 CB’s are that great on the ball, none of them bring the ball forward, which you need in a 3. Holgate played one good ball, everyone after that was straight to one of their players.

Coleman did a couple of nice things, but was his usual huff & puff, Digne did ok, but maybe should do better playing wing back.

And Tom Davies was shockingly bad, back to normal for Tom. Offers nothing, slow, week. Get bullied like the Burnley goal, and when he’s not get bullied, he end up on the deck and giving a foul away

 

[EFCPaul]

Meh, awful for that equaliser but it's not him missing sitter after sitter or throwing on a fella in midfield who hasn't played in near 2 years to see the game out when it's on a knife-edge. He and Mina can't play in a 3, only Holgate can (who looked good tonight btw). I'll forgive him but he should be having nightmares over getting caught out like that.

Digne Allan James. Every single other player in our squad struggles to play football.

Totally agree about him and Mina in a 3. Would have been better going to a back 4 with Godfrey/Holgate at right back and the other in midfield.

...I think that’s more about prioritisation, Stephen. We are ok short-term with Godfrey/Mina and Holgate, Keane as back-up. It becomes extravagant if we bring in another CB unless Mina is on his way out.
