Michael Keane

[kramer0]

Let him play in a team that knows what it's supposed to be doing before you judge him.

It's hard to overstate the incoherence of most of the teams Koeman and Unsworth picked this season.

Last 6 games Keane started - 20 goals conceded
Last 4 games Keane not starting - 1 goal conceded

How many of those 6 were under unsworth

[Major Clanger]

All previously underperforming players deserve to have a go under stable management, Keane is no exception.

[KoemansNumberTens]

Is he fit? Has he been dropped or is he not 100% fit

[Ridge]

How many of those 6 were under unsworth

2 Koeman, 4 Unsworth.

He went off injured the same time Baines did, IIRC.

Reckon he'll be sound when he comes back in.

I'd have Holgate as first choice and have one of Keane, Williams and jags.

Just think holgates composure and ability on the ball is so valuable.

Massively impressed with Holgate lately

And he’s the only one of those 4 who can actually get a sprint on. Allows us to play a higher line. Keane and Holgate could be a potential future CB pairing, certainly in regards to skill set - one would have to emerge as more of a leader though.

Me too. He seems more physically imposing all of a sudden.

I would imagine Allardyce doesn't want to tamper with the back 4 whilst it is working relatively well. 1 goal conceded in 4 games gives you some breathing time as a unit.

Just goes to show, how Koeman didn't really want to try certain players or develope them
 Holgate and for that matter Williams have done really well over plastic few matches. I really thought Williams was finished. Three of our back four looked nearly decent on Sunday.

I would imagine Allardyce doesn't want to tamper with the back 3 plus cuco the mad cunt whilst it is working relatively well. 1 goal conceded in 4 games gives you some breathing time as a unit.

fixed that for you
