2021/22 Michael Keane

[NathDogg]

Mina is too slow for this league. He's a great competitor and an asset in the opposition box, but I have zero faith in him up against pace.

Godfrey is certainly one for the position and with time can be a very good CB. But I think CB is every bit the problem area that RB is. It's gone under the radar because of the number of CB we have, but none of them are good enough apart Godfrey - who is still learning that position at PL level.

Not saying Mina is the best cb in the world game by any stretch, but he's the best we've got at the club, and I know we have his fitness issues to worry about, but he needs to be starting when he's available.

We're more composed and just look better when he's playing - Yerry is the leader Godfrey needs and Godfrey can be minas legs, it makes sense.

Holgate and Keane are miles worse than Yerry.

He only had 5 options available to him, he's kin crap.

He should have just hoofed it when he got in a tangle, or even used Pickford.

Just needs to go. We’re not playing Branthwaite presumably because of his lack of experience and he might make an error whilst this bloke is giving goals away every time he plays.

Not good enough, never was, never will be.

Was abit surreal that. I was thinking is someone down with cramp and hes debating whether to kick it out.

He's a disgrace to the great centre halfs we've had down the years. Weak, spineless, slow, doesn't command, can't pass. He's an absolute none entity. Sell.

He’s not a disgrace, Jesus Christ we’ve had far far worse defenders, Kroldrup, Alcaraz, Thomas to name 3

Why is Holgate getting pelters for Keane being absolute garbage yet again?

It's really weird.

I also keep reading stuff about Keane being fine defending deep and not when we need to pass out from the back, Keane is actually good on the ball for a centre back, his problem is he is obviously a bit thick because he keeps the ball in places where he is going to lose it. He had plenty of time to get rid of the ball yesterday but instead he decided to do a dummy pass and then even worse tried to jib the responsibility off onto Holgate.

Holgate was pathetic in trying to challenge Adams once Keane had the ball knicked, stay on his feet and it doesn’t go through to Armstrong, instead he goes in with the tackle and got megged

The problem with Keane for me is his mentality. He couldn’t shrug off that mistake in the 1st half resulting in playing overly safe and he couldn’t hit a wide man with a 30 yard pass 2nd half. When he’s good he’s very good when he’s bad he’s shocking. I would have subbed him at half time and tell him to prepare for next week and get the mistake out of his mind.

He had a very poor game yesterday but this level of criticism is embarrassing.

Yeh, you can literally see his head drop when he cocks up. He hides from the ball and passes back as soon as he gets it. When he is playing with confidence, he is much better than people remember though

Yeah, he’s definitely got ability. He’s let down purely by the mental side of his game.

He needs to toughen because Benitez will lose patience with him and turf him out if he continues with his meek nature.

Ability for bottom half/relegation battle teams like Burnley

Why on earth is he even in that area of the pitch, isn’t he meant to be the left sided centre back? What’s he running into Holgate for? He is absolutely dire.

Be as myopic as you like. He’s had good spells for us over the past couple of seasons.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Him and Holgate together are a heart in mouth pairing, you just know there is a mistake in both of them. Keane in a 2 with Godfrey is the way to go.

In your extremely humble opinion.
