2022/23 Michael Keane

[Lanolin]

If you can't see that Mina isn'ta better footballer than Keane then you don't understand the game.

If you think my post mentions Mina then you don’t understand words, which is a bit more of an issue all things considered.

I just can't believe he played last night when the main weakness of Keane is players running in the channels and behind him, which is exactly how Leicester play especially with Vardy. Just extremely poor management.

I think the thing here is a real fair point to do with the tactical set up, not Keane specifically because Mina isn’t any quicker and one of Coady’s main weaknesses is lack of pace. Only Godfrey really has pace and he can’t play centre back for other big flaws.

So we only had four centre back options, none very quick. Leicester, as you say, have a great passer in Maddison and someone in Vardy who just wants to run in behind at every opportunity.

For our defence, the worst case scenario for us was the game getting stretched and turning into a basketball game, it did too often. Second half big gaps in the midfield and you’re just being exposing your centre backs in that situation.

Thought we lost shape in midfield too often, didn’t get back into position behind the ball quickly enough or alternatively press so they had no time to look up and make a good pass.

Continuously picking Keane is similar to Leeds continuing to pick Meslier. Not only does it defy logic because of his individual performance it also impacts the confidence of the rest of the defence.

I'm sure Large Samuel will boot Meslier first job and we should do the same with Keane. Enough is enough.

No. I dont do that and never have. In fact its a gripe of mine. Yeah there was a spell we conceded with coady and tarkowsi but at the start of the season after quite a few games the defence were in the top 6 for goals against. It was about the only good thing we had going.
There is never a spell when michael keane is playing when we dont concede. That was the main point. He's bloody awful individually and as a pair.

We have two of them?

Wonder if Mina leaked that news about the reason he isn't playing is because he's leaking news.

Did he tell you that?

They forgot that he could have cost us 5 goals last night
1st when he failed to challenge the scorer for the 1st
2nd Vardy skinning him to score
3rd penalty
4th Vardy again turn him inside out only to hit the bar
5th lost control and vardy races clear only to co.e to nothing

Dyche thinks he played well though

And that’s exactly why and how stats can mislead performances. That’s the reason why many many signings fail, because of stats like that.

Against 36 year old Jamie Vardy who doesn’t jump for headers and drops off the shoulder instead. Well done Keggers.

Keane starts all our remaining games, Mina isn't good enough, simple as that

Stats, You mean facts ? Hard good work that goes unseen... like when Alan Shearer had him in team of the week.

Facts are good, I like facts.

Couldn't agree more, Checkers.

Kegger is like a much sexier exotic name
