Michael Keane

[Macca77]

And?

Par for the course with football fans on Twitter.

No and! Reckons it would be hard for any player to turn Leicester down

Absolutely precious

I doubt we'd even consider selling him even for a profit if we don't get Zuma in permanently.  We can't suddenly lose both of our first choice centre backs over the summer.

There was a "way too early Top 6" thing on ESPNFC here that put Leicester 6th because "I really like the Brendan Rodgers appointment."  I guess this will be the new talking point.

I love him. Hope he gets better and better.

Yes big mick.

[brap2]

Had a really rough season again hasn't he, but have to say he was very good in the air today.

[Gash]

It's stange because people are on his case for the least thing now. If he doesn't boom a clearing header 50 yards up the pitch people moan yet no one mentioned a couple of Holgate fuck ups that Keane covered for very well in the first half.

Isn't he normally?

It's when someone turns him over with a tiny bit of pace that he struggles badly.

Yes absolutely agree. just felt he deserved some praise for a part of his game this is very good.

Always the same on here - the ‘black and white’ view.

He was absolutely fine today. Lost a couple of headers early doors against Carroll (who doesn't) but settled into it.

We've seen Mina get injured several times so Keane is always going to have to play during the busy Xmas period. He's become the newest target for the boo boys then it's not 'cool' to praise him when he earns it.

[Bluedylan]

Decent game today.

Not to be a dick, but I'd also be remiss if I didn't say that I still don't think he's good enough or will be good enough for us, and would replace him.

[GrantyBoy78]

He’s certainly capable of having a good game here and there, even a decent run of games, as per end of last season. But, ultimately, he just hasn’t got the mentally to be a top (consistent) CB. You’re always anticipating the inevitable cycle of: mistake, crisis of confidence, form falling off a cliff.

I think he's had the time and opportunities to show that he's not the answer for us and that we should be looking to upgrade at some point.

He started shaky today, think he got rinsed positionally for the chance they had right at the start of the game.  But he settled down and did alright overall I thought.

On another note, that was a Ryan Shawcross-esque performance from Andy Carroll today.  That disgusting combination of being overly physical whilst throwing yourself to the ground at any opportunity when the boots on the other foot.

[Bob Sacamano]

Carroll was a fucking joke today.
