2022/23 Michael Keane

[knowing your history]

Coady wasnt great for three or four games when Dyche first arrived, however even back then we had less goals conceded per game, and slightly better point(s) per game! At least Coady is vocal, the only time Keane was vocal last night was when he was was trying to claim it wasn't a penalty!
I know Mina is made of glass but he needs to be playing, while he can, alongside Tarkowski these last four games. If Mina declares himself not fit enough (again) it surely has to be Coady!
Not a great look for Dyche if he persists with his old boys network I'm afraid!

Problem is Coady can't play v Wolves so you'd basically bring him back for Brighton and Man. City and then he'd have to go out again and Keane would come back even worse after a couple of games on the bench for possibly two must win games.

I agree on Mina. Of course we all know his fitness but surprised he hasn't had any minutes so far, guess he can't look that bothered in training.

Is anyone advocating him staying in the side?

Only Dyche.

Based on what he did with Simms, Dyche will start Coady against Brighton/City, we'll get stuffed (which we would have with Keane) and say oh well gave him his chance.

It's the ball over the top, it's the inability to show a striker one way and howneasy he gets turned. The inexplicable way he kicks it out of play, the way when he's clearing the ball with his head he seems to just head it straight to the opposition, it's the constant panic he causes in his own back line.

I agree with you.
Does nothing well.

 

[Terrarian]

Not knowing what constitutes handball at 30year old shows the guys intelligence, talk about embarrassing yourself, well more embarrassing on top of his calamities.

 

[blulouie]

Thought last week was the last straw with him.
Leaving the centre wide open for Callum Wilson is something he does every game.
Isak spun him round like a spinning top , any NORMAL defender puts Isak & the ball in row Z of the Park end.
This is EVERY game.
Woeful defender.

Wake up & swallow your pride Dyche.

Problem with Keane is he fools people (well our manager) into thinking he's having a steady boss game up until the inevitable mistake which then lead to several more and eventually costing us a goal or 2 simply put CANNOT BE TRUSTED

Another thing is , he wins almost every set piece header in the oppositions box .
Yet he can't hit the target , he could & should have had 2 goals last night.
The one early in the 1st half , beats everyone the keeper is struggling to get across & he heads it wide of the post.

I've no doubt in my mind Mina gets at least 1 goal agst them defenders last night.

So frustrating.

Hate to say it but he’s not brave enough to hit the target and put himself where it hurts on any attacking headers - he gets in the positions and wins the headers but doesn’t really attack them, the ball just hits him on the fod - it’s like a kid heading the ball who’s scared of it.

 

[Gilbert..]

Saving grace is we'll be so deep v city and brighton that he wont look like a canal barge turning....


Nah. Ive not even convinced myself there.

He had the audacity to phone Southgate up to ask why he wasn’t in the English squad, then asked Frank Lampard what he had to do to improve his chances of getting in the Everton team, this at twenty nine years of age!,

He has a house worth £3M and is set for life financially because of his football ability!! Something bleedin’ wrong somewhere.

 

[spudmuncher]

Isaak ran past him about four times in 10 seconds for his assist last week ... that was hilarious .... costs us two goals with blatant errors every time he plays .... Will relegate us and cost the manager his job .... unbelievable

 

[neil999]

What is v annoying about this is,OK you don't trust mina,then use coady ffs!

 

[StreetEndBlue]

Oh I absolutely can and will.

Good for you.

I can only assume that he looks good in training when there isn't anything riding on it
Means managers need to see a lot of games before realising the problem
He's a nervous player and in that position it's very problematic
Contrast him with Tarky and his clear lack of nerves

Keane's nerves contribute to late reactions too: Handballs, fouls in the box, caught in possession, playing lads onside etc...the list goes on
Was anyone suprised Vardy stuck on him from minute one rather than Tarky?
