Made up that he’s played so well. Moyes probably deserves some credit, he’s definitely a bit of a centre back whisperer. Has coaxed performances out of every reasonably talented CB he’s ever coached.

He's done well at the moment but I'm not allowing it to cloud my judgement.

He's shite and I can't wait until he's out the team.

It used to be 'two good games doesn't make up for the inevitable mistake', then it became 4 doesn't, now we're at 7... Doesn't really matter what number he gets to because eventually he'll make a mistake, not because he's Keane but because all players do... that won't matter though, it'll be because it's Keane and his history is so embedded in people's minds that people are waiting for the 'see told you so' moment.

It's coming, because every player makes mistakes. Just hope when it happens he gets a little slack due to the performances he's put in lately and that he bounces back quickly from it rather than it leading to more mistakes as is what often happens with him.
