Romey 1878 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I think Keane is a going to be an England regular. Better all round player than stones in my opinion. Yep. Not as good on the ball (but not by much really) but he's a far better defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a fan for a long time and he was probably the signing I'm most pleased we made this summer - so far I've been disappointed by his performances. I do expect him to improve however.

He and Mee were a decent partnership but Keane is certainly the stronger of the 2. I think a lack of options/movement are causing too many aimless long balls - it's as if we're pretending we signed Giroud anyway. It's a shame as Keane is decent on the ball.

Bailey Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I think he has everything in his locker but he is getting exposed. Apart from some dodgy passes I dont think he is doing anything wrong it's just that we are playing shite, the midfield is doing fuck all to protect him and he has been switched in and out of 5 and 4 at the back.

MC11 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Williams has been a lot worse but this lad especially the last 3 games has been poor.

Romey 1878 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 He was very poor for the majority of the game yesterday, and therefore the worst of our CB's for most of it too. He was far too hesitant in everything he did, meaning he was sloppy with his passing and didn't commit to challenges. He looked better the longer the game went on, so maybe it was just nerves, but he needs to improve on his latest few showings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTStanley1 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 He's had a difficult start with the constant formation and defensive partner changes with him playing in between any combination of Martina/Holgate and Jags/WIlliams, it might be worth looking at signing Tarkowski from Burnley in January to partner him long term, he's looked very solid so far this season.

Bailey Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 He is starting to go a bit downhill. He has gone from a very compact side to one that's a bit all over the place at the moment so maybe he just needs a bit more time and confidence. At that level I don't think you really should but hopefully he will come good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 He started well, has had rotation RB, CB and keeper to deal with. If you want a strong defence you need consistency, and for a young lad even more so.

Sparks FC Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Just read a stat, the combined age of Jags, Williams and Bainsey is 100. Most teams would probably have a back 4 with combined ages around that. To me another CB is more pressing than a LB, 2 performing CB's alongside Baines is the lesser of 2 evils as opposed to a new LB slotted in with the current shambles of switching CB pairings.

chicagoblue Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Martina can not play in any competitive fixtures. He is the worst player to pull on a kit in 10 years. There must be some kid we can play at left back. I though we looked a bit better today with 3 at the back and we should start that way, especially if we have to play both Jags and Williams.
