2017/18 Michael Keane

[Seathestars]

Just bizarre for me that Holgate and Wipliams has struck up a decent partnership keeping clean sheets then for some reason Allardyce started selecting Keane plus one other and we haven’t had a clean sheet since.

Got to say that I’ve wondered this myself.

Surely should try him and Holgate together for a few games...

His passing is absolutely abysmal.

He is a good passer of the ball....when another player makes themselves available. Yesterday when he got caught out once was when our static midfield hid and didn't want the ball. Keane always looking for a good outball and can do it when it's on. He will just have to hoof it in future if no one shows themselves. Like I say nothing wrong with his passing.

Cannot take this rumour too seriously unless Jags and Williams are already counted as gone this summer along with Mangala

Of all the abominations that I expected from this manager, the last thing I thought he'd do would be to arse around with his centre-backs.

The muppet said on BE sports whilst comentating On our game that if he was manager first thing he would do was stop changing the defence about.

Just seen on bbc sport that the papers are reporting us looking to get rid in the summer. Having read the last few pages of posts on here, seems like a lot of people would be happy at this.

I must admit that I’ve been more than disappointed with him this season, especially with the high expectations I had when he arrived.

Do we not think it is worth giving him another season, hopefully injury free and preferably in a settled back four system to see if he could reach the same levels of performance (which got him an England call-up) as when he arrived?

I’m torn atm but I think there’s a player in there somewhere.

There is literally about 5 defenders than need shipping out before we even considered selling Keane.

 

[electricblue]

Can we stop binning off our players before they have been given a proper chance ?

He's been playing with an injury in a team and a defence badly lacking in confidence all season.

Needs at least another season to show what he can do.

Look get rid of Jags and Williams, ignore the manc guy then we have Mori, Keane, Holgate and Galloway.

Hardly fills one with confidence - Mori is average at best (and who knows if he'll have fully recovered from his injury); Keane looks as weak as water, Holgate is very promsing but Galloway can't get a place in Sunderland's relegation threatened team.

Keane actually has talent, though. There is no way he's being sold before dumping Williams and Jags.

Not seen anything to support that judgement this season. If he has got talent he needs to start playing as though he has.

Give them a break Mate,. give them a chance and they will come good.

 

[Lanolin]

Shows just how bad he’s been at times when people say he had a decent game yesterday. They had about 15 free headers in our box that he just stood and watched. Reckon he was about a 6/10.

 

[CarlitoBrigante]

Said it when we signed him he's cumbersome slow uncomfortable with the ball absolutley awful in the air for a big lad aswell I hope we can get decent money for him

 

[mawders]

He needs a leader beside him. And that’s not williams / Holgate/ Mori / Mangala.

He’s worth keeping the team with Coleman one side and Jags the otrher
