2017/18 Michael Keane

[Walken]

I'll wait for a new regime to come in before judging him, but it's not great right now

 

[maccavennie]

Looked absolutely abysmal again.

 

[Abraders]

This lad is absolutely dire but so is the whole squad so what does it even matter

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Confidence is shot.

 

[Mosh-pit]

Garbage.

 

[riddick]

Ok, seriously. If you polled everyone here with this player "is this who you think would do well here?" it would be a resouding "yes". Great header of the ball, good defender. Most people would have said 'this is who I think we need in the summer' last year.


What the absolute feck?? How has he done so poorly?

 

[Deckard2049]

how do you know? not all offers are made public

Fair point, but whatever happened we weren’t exactly in a bidding war where we?

It’s a debate for another thread, but it’s seriously looking like Pickford and Vlasic are the only summer signings who can hold their heads up right now. Shambles of a window.

 

[MACCA75]

Who on Earth has been teaching him to defend?? Oh, one of the greatest defenders to ever play the game..

Wtf is going on with him.

 

[ah11984]

Absolutely awful today, just hideous. As he was in the 2nd half v Lyon. Much easier to defend at Burnley, when they park the bus.

 

[Mozza1987]

Absolutely woeful recently. Making Williams look a world beater ffs

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

His confidence is absolutely shot.

The first thing Koeman did last season which was admirable, was fix our defence. This season though, we're leaking goals everywhere. Seven goals in three Europa group games, 18 in nine league games.

At this rate we need to score three a game to win.

 

[BlueLlama]

You could put Baresi at his peak in thsi team and he'd struggle. Keane, Sig, Sandro, Klaassen have been class for a couple of seasons but suddenly they are all tosh, don't judge him yet.

 

[maccavennie]

His lack of pace is a real concern for me, people talk about Williams losing it and sitting too deep but this fella is getting left for dead every time he's in a one on one situation

Yep. I remember Lukaku leaving him for dead when he scored for us against Burnley at Goodison last season.

Aye mate. I'm not writing him off mate as I didn't even bother watching him for Burnley and everyone seemed to think this was a great signing so I hope it is just confidence but even today, the ease that Lacazette turned him inside the box, I thought his feet must have dropped off or fell in a hole. He's looked as culpable as Williams or Jags to me. In fact the 3 of them look utterly rancid to watch.
