2024/25 Michael Keane

[bobbylatch]

For me it's about reading the game and having a football brain.
If you have football intelligence, good positional play can compensate for a chronic lack of pace.
Keane lacks this ability and its the main reason he struggles.
Branthwaite has got it and that's why for him it looks so effortless.

He came to life at 2 nil.

C’mon, we didn’t lose because of Keane. He is a symbol of what we have become.

I could probably post this in the Dyche thread. We have crap players, a manager none of us would choose and a transfer window that makes Ipswich look like Barcelona, compared to us.

It’s our owner and his mate Bill, that took us here, not Keane. Hate him all you want, all we can do is support him, it isn’t his fault.

Was his injured partner fit enough ? We have a new signing 6ft 6 played all pre-season scored - oh he is on the bench ????

Do I blame him for the entire defence falling to pieces every time he’s anywhere near the pitch and miraculously one of the best defences in the league when he isn’t in it? Yes, actually.

Anyone got the stats throughout his career at Everton? Would be genuinely interested to see how we’ve done with and without him

Well I don’t have the in depth stats, but we’ve basically been a joke since the moment he signed for us.

I don't think you needs stats to know the answer to this mate, I'll take a wild guess thay we've done better without him in the side!

Strong preseason mate.
That's all that matters.

Didn't we lose most of our pre season games?

Tongue in cheek mate.
Dyche speak not me.

I realised you were quoting Dyche mate

I still can't believe he said that tbh.

 

[joebocop]

When Michael Keane plays we will not/do not win games. Dyche's "gameplan" relies on having good defenders and he is as bad as they come.

How long is left on this big galoots contract?
