He hasnt been anymore of a liability then anyone else, we are a 1 - 11 of liabilities, liability FC

He can only play in one system.
He needs someone to hold his hand.
He scores more own goals than the rest of the team put together.
He gives away stupid penalties.
His hair stinks of Brylcreem.
He cries when he can`t see his mum in the stands.

If we can only play in one system we have to build the team around him, at least he can play, unlike Mina who cant play in any system
 

I would rather Mina played when fit. He wouldn’t give the penalty away and we possibly go on to win that game. He doesn’t boot the ball straight to Joao Felix at Stamford Bridge to give them the lead.
Mina was always giving away stupid goals, look at last season away at Leicester when he did everything he could to help them win until Keane can on to save the day ... and our season.
 

If we dont give Spurs a pen, dont forget earlier his expert positioningsaved us when he made a goal line clearance against Kane, if anything it was that the pen cancelled out. He was the only reason we got a point on Monday.
As for the Chelsea game... what? He wasnt in any way responsible for the goal, this is how you are getting it wrong, you are just seeing we conceded so it has to be Keanes fault but without understanding the play.

He is having a good season now under Dyche

He was because he dangled a weak leg out at a ball that then fell to Felix rather than just clearing it properly. He’s got all these sort of errors in him because he doesn’t do things with conviction (bizarrely that strike is the second thing I’ve ever seen him do at Everton that’s had a bit of conviction behind it).

When he turns his back on a shot and dangles a leg at it and it deflects past the keeper, that’s on him in my book. Deflections are far less likely to go on when a defender runs straight on with purpose to make a block.

When he’s jumping with his eyes closed and misses the ball and the striker puts it in behind him, that’s on him,

When he gives pens away because he does a pros and cons list before clearing the ball, it’s on him.

All those moments of panic in the box when the ball is either side of him and he’s just hesitating.

He’ll never be a top player. He’s ok in the low block but he’ll always have mistakes in him because he’s not quick of speed or thought and doesn’t have conviction in what he does. He’ll always give pens away because he’s late to react, there’ll always be deflections because he hangs back on blocks, the diagonal cross will always catch him out. It’s happened under every manager in every formation.

Dyche seems to like him with Tarkowski and tbh Coady was making just as many errors and Mina isn’t long for this club by the looks of it so let’s keep an ok pairing together until the end of the season but I can guarantee we are going nowhere with Keane at centreback. Nowhere.

Next season i’d like to see Tarkowski with one of Branthwaite or Godfrey partnering him with another new CB competing after we’ve sold Mina Keane and Holgate.
