All those managers bar Carlo lost their jobs for poor results so I’m not sure if it’s wise taking that as point in Keane’s favour as he is mainstay like you say. Carlo perhaps but we played a deep block that suited him, if any other manager set us up like that we would be furious, surely.
Speaks volumes that big Dunc put him on the bench against Villa and he’s been here through all managers doesn’t it? I don’t mention Holgate a whole lot purely for the reason I don’t rate him, even less so than Keane. The other 2 I agree.
Keane’s had his good patches and there is a very capable defender in there - just not a very versatile one in terms of being able to play with a high line, tight to his man - deep block on the 18 yard line is his specialty which is why he looked good for burnley.
