Bailey Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Positive news! I think its 3-4 weeks before he is fully back in training rather than playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyblue23 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 I’ve never understood how head collisions can damage one person so much more than another. Keane has a caveman head and Gana’s head is tiny. Physics are weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have caught him right in the spot. few weeks ago in the AFL over here, ( hey throw a lot of arms and shirt punches ) one guy sort of open hand punch/slapped a bloke in the jaw - didn’t look a lot in it but it’s completely broke his jaw!

Keane has a caveman head and Gana’s head is tiny. Physics are weird. Dont quote me on it but I am pretty sure the temple is the weakest part of the skull whereas the forehead is one of the hardest. With Gana having a smaller head I guess the impact was more concentrated into the larger area of Keane's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I cracked mine when I was in my early twenty’s. Went up for a header and banged heads. Got up as if it didn’t hurt, asked the other guy if he was ok.... who lay on the floor for a few mins. Ten minutes later the red stopped the game and called my manager over and told him to take me off. I couldn’t understand why and was a bit miffed. As I walked off my vision just went into tunnel vision mode. Got rushed to hospital and I as told I was concussed and cracked my temple. Weirdest injury I ever had as it was so innocuous. Had some nasty headaches after that for a few days. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 i can't tell if Zouma is covering for him and making him look better than he is, or if he is growing and improving his game. discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Covering IMO, still looks like a rabbit in the headlights for me most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I think it’s just his pace and heart that’s suspect for me. I don’t see him throwing hinswlf in front of shots, ala Jags.... and I never see him busting a gut to get back either. It’s almost a , crap he’s past me, no point killing myself to get back now. Im happy with him in the air and with the ball at feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Positionally he has improved loads and he has more help from those around him now but his individual weaknesses are still there. Quinn31 and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Good defender, heading, positioning, tackling but needs a partner with pace to cover up his lack of it. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't make a decision either but he has not been near the nuisance he was last year. My gut says he's improved but he's also playing in a better team and clearly benefits and should only be played with a pacey centerback next to him.

There was actually a fella by me who kept saying "he's not won a header all game". I started to wonder if that fella had been dropped on his head earlier in the day.

pete0 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 He had a solid enough game but needs to commit more when going for the ball. Strange that he's a United youth as he lacks that bite that sways 50/50s your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criminal that we've got two huge centre halves and we've not scored from a corner all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 A foot injury doesnt cause him to be 10 yards out of position. He looks like he is just much more organised under Silva and especially now he is playing alongside a regular and dependable partner.

It slows you down on your turn for sure, not to mention getting that first couple of steps up to speed. To play devils advocate, positioning could've been shit tactics and coaching too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they can be to an extent but he shouldnt need a manager to hold his hand. Its not like he is an 18 year old playing his first game.
