Coady was dropped due to poor form, tbf to Dyche he gave him a run of games but you have to suspect he was waiting for an opportunity to bring his mate into the team. Now Keane is in poor form the question is does Dyche stick with him and hope he plays his way out of it, throw Coady back in and hope he plays better than he was, or chuck Mina the crock in, knowing he might have to change the lineup within half an hour.

It's a pointless debate coz we all know Dyche is gonna stick with his mate for the last 4 games.
Dyche is sticking to what he believe as a manager will get us a results. Not sure ot has anything to do with mates or no mates. Whether this is right or wrong that's a different question. Mina is our best cb but has been so unreliable with injuries that I am not sure any manager would trust him at this point of the season. Coady deserved to be dropped as he was awful...so dyche is the best person to decide on this one working daily with all those players.

See this is one part of the pitch we do have options, Dyche is seeing the same match we see, but he is also seeing the players train, Keane isnt playing because he is the only option we have, he is playing because the manager is seeing enough from him to keep him in the side ahead of two other alternatives
 
Cant change the CB pair now because players will have an understanding with each other, we will be hard training and planning ahead, also lets say for example he spends the next few days planning and training with Mina in the side, then on the day he has a silly little unprofessional niggle and cries off, what are we going to do then?
Also we have other things to think about, Pattersen coming back, should we go two up front, who plays in midfield, dont forget we are almost fully fit now, Dyche has other squad problems to think about without making one.
Sorry Carlin - I’m not having this. They are professional footballers, the drills will be done with the ENTIRE squad or should be, otherwise what happens if Keane has a whitey and decides to stay in the changies due to his ptsd kicking in from wkd powered Albert steptoe tearing him a new ringpiece?

Richard wright standing on a sign and getting injured in the warm up at Stamford bridge - sorry Iain Turner, you can’t play as you’ve not trained with us all week - we will have to go without a keeper!

Mina and coady will have been involved In the set up and training ffs - it’s a ludicrous argument for not addressing the Keane problem.

Yeah but you say addressing the Keane problem, two things about this, we have far bigger problems that we do have to deal with, such as whats going on up front, Coleman out so we have to plan for the remaining games without him, also is it an actual problem and if it is do you really think Mina or Coady is the solution? Neither are better.
Also Mina is far more likely to want to stay off the pitch, if Keane is scared to play thats a very bad reflection of the fans

So much wrong with this, let me pick out a few bits.

1) "dyche is sticking to what he believes will get him results" we ARENT getting results, that's the whole point, we have won 1 game in 11.

2) "not sure it has anything to do with Keane being his mate" it's 10000% why he's been starting, he's the worst defender at the club and he was on his way out, now he's playing every single game despite being a big stupid dope.

3) "mina is unreliable" hes been fit almost entirely this year, he is likely to pick up injuries, but thats why you have subs, I'd rather 60 mina from mina then 90 mins from Keane.

4) "dyche is the best person to see based on him seeing them every day" I absolutely hate this arguement, Keane could look like maldini in training for all I care, but when matchday comes he's a disgrace and he's single handedly relegating us with his mistakes.
 
This bloke has to be the weirdest “I’ll die on his hill” player in my lifetime. Bland looking bloke, bland personality and pretty poor player.

His overarching effect on English football will simply be two Evertonian’s sitting in a pub 15 years from now, one of them coming out with:

“remember Michael Keane?”
“Oh god yeah, that bloke”
“Same again?”
“Sound”

Nicely avoiding my points by talking more nonsense, but let’s try and disseminate a little clarity and logic to your ramblings.

What’s going on up front - dcl is back and fit and we have other options like simms and gray (who the manager refuses to use for some god foresaken reason) - hopefully we can start taking and creating chances so not an issue, except for our manager. We created a number of chances the other night and fresher legs may have taken them.

Coleman out (gutted) - Patterson plays - end of that debate. If he brings holgate or Godfrey in then what is the actual point? Next!

Is Keane playing a problem - massive yes, as we will need to score more than once to cover for his cock ups and get anything out of the game, which is a problem for a team that is struggling for goals.

Coady and Mina may not be great, but I would take them ahead of what Keane is providing us currently.

The last comment I have highlighted because at no point have I mentioned the fans in regards to Keane not wanting to play - I mentioned him not wanting to play because he’s just been hammered by a 36yo forward who’s been hit and miss for months but look absolutely revitalised against Keane, on the back of the horse punchers taking him to the cleaners. Dyche would be doing him a favour taking keane out of the firing line imo - he looks like he’s bordering on tears before a ball has been kicked.

For you to even suggest the fans have anything to do with Keane performing badly or his desire to want to play is disingenuous and I think another attempt to troll.

If you happy to continue seeing Keane make a show of himself and our defence that’s up to you - I think the manager can do better.

The manager cant do better because he hasnt got better options. Maybe next season, but with what ever budget we have I can see strikers and left backs being far more important.
I actaully fully expect him to still be playing for us next season

Yes, this is one thing we agree on. I can’t picture a team in world football wanting to sign him and match his wages. He’ll be ripped to pieces in the Championship too while hoovering up £80k a week and putting the club into administration.

I don't believe you really think Keane is better than Mina, less injury prone is the only pro in the Keane column. Are you not seeing all the mistakes? Why would you want a guy that's scared of his own shadow being one of our main CBs.

Coady made a mistake and was benched, keane has made a multitude of errors and still plays, that tells me it's favouritism.
