2017/18 Michael Keane

[devogue]

Confidence is gone.

Just when you think you already have defenders who ate absolutely terrible in possession ( jags and Williams ) up comes Keane to add to that

 

[Elton John]

Looks awful, and has done in virtually every game. We can blame those around him for a lot, but I just don't think he's anywhere near as good as people are trying to convince themselves he is.

Bingo.

It doesn't help like, but the lads overall game from distribution to defending is extremely poor.

'But but but we beat united to him lads'

 

[Abraders]

Nearly scored an own goal tonight for England

I said in the summer that it would be pointless buying a good defender like Keane, if his parter is going to be either Williams or Jagielka, that looks to be the case so far.

Until Jan, I’d rather he just told them it’s Keane and Jags first so get used to playing together and get a partnership going. Instead Keane knows he will have a different partnership most weeks, which for a Centre half is ridiculous.

I guess that’s why they call it the blues.

...never watch this England side but I understand Keane played in a back 3. Apologies if that’s wrong, but I just don’t think it suits his game. He’s a conventional CB, very good in the air but lacking mobility when more exposed out wide in a 3. Another example of a purchase not playing where he’s most effective.

He did indeed mate.

He was ok. But it’s England innit?!

This. Another centre back was every bit as important as a striker, to sign neither in the end was nothing short of farcical. A horrifying transfer window.

Sad to hear he didn't have the best of games. To be honest his facial features seem to exhibit fear.
Say again, Harry Maguire would have been a better fit.

Personally I don't think Maguire is anywhere near the player but whatever has happened to Keane this season confidence wise has shook him up , he looked confident and assured and it's clear that's gone . We have to just hope the lad can weather the storm , for me it's about character not ability .

Williams to his left and Cuco to his right...bloke must be gutted to leave a well drilled defence for this shambles.

The original words are....Clowns to the left of me, jokers to right.
Fits really well with these two.
