That flat footed defending on the first goal was shocking.

Has been utterly shocking since the first game or two, its like his jarg brother came in one day instead and the real one is at home paying Fifa or something.

Pretty appalled by the defence right now, Williams, Jags and Keane are absolute dog crap.

Good player at a shambolic club going through a bad patch due to his confidence being shot.

Bad player at a bad club with no confidence because he realised he’s massively out of his depth

He's better than he's shown

His poor form is symptomatic of the general malaise surrounding the whole club right now

Good player? My god your standards are not very high. He isnt even championship standard.

Yes.....that was just unbelieveable.

The worst bit was when he got absolutely boshed into next week by their striker

Keane will come good and will be a CB at Everton for a long time. Williams and Martina last night were utter utter dirge... Keane getting pulled out of position all over the place as he wasn't trusting the defenders either side of him to deal with danger.

For a good while i’ve Been saying ‘he’s been poor but he’ll come good’. The more I see of him though, the less sure of that I am. He has done absolutely nothing over the last 3 months to suggest that he’s even a vaguely competent centre half, for all the talk about Williams/Martina affecting him, he’s consistently been worse than either of them.

I was relatively pleased when we signed him but he is genuinely Alcaraz levels of bad at the moment.

Hasn't the poor guy just recovered from a nasty leg infection? The flesh-eating kind?

Honestly, I don't think either Williams or Martina have been consistently better than Keane - but I guess that's something that's going to be subjective.

Williams looks to be completely finished and should never play a competitive first team game for Everton again. He seems to have settled into the idea that he should no longer challenge for the ball, he just plays the player (and he was doing the same for Wales in the games I watched recently). Should've been sent off last night, and even for their 4th (or 5th can't remember) goal if it hadn't gone in it should've been another pen. I'd play a 16 year old dubutant at centreback before I'd name Williams again.

Martina is just bang average, but playing in that left back role he's put in far worse performances than Keane.

I reckon Keane's Everton career will have a similar trajectory as Baines' (who struggled to get in the team ) when he joined initially.
