Keane gone Mee Injured

Today showed how threadbare we will be down the middle next season,Tarkowski was out of his depth playing just 45 minutes today....shocking.

Keane hasn't gone - Mee did get injured and Tarkowski got his first ever run out in defence in the Premier League.

No he wasn't.

That is all.

We'll sign at least one centre half in the summer. Mee will be back. Tarkowski shouldn't be judged from his 45 mins today.

Remember we were chasing the game at that point and the midfield had not been lively in the first half - don't just blame one player. Agree game time will help him settle in - Keane took a while to settle and has had some wobbles too this season.

Sorry I thought Tarks was one of two players to come out of that embarrassing one dimensional display with any credit. The other being, and I can't believe I'm saying this but Andre Gray. Mee's injury is a big blow he has certainly been our best defender all season although he isn't getting the same plaudits as his partner.

Keane's the most overrated centre half iv ever seen. Good player for us but a top four club level centre half? Never in a million years. Ben Mee's a miles better defender.

Apart from the OP wrongly stating Keane has gone,Mee is injured and Tarka is out of his depth I think they have everything spot on

Deliberate provocation.

So if we lost out first choice pair of centre halves we'd be threadbare? No shite Sherlock.

Imagine if we lost Gray and Barnes, we'd be a bit light up front. And it's really not worth thinking about if we lost Ward and whoever our other left back is. OMG best sign 60 first choice players just to be safe.

I was just making an observation guys,I hate criticising our players,Tarkowski was out of his depth end of,I don't think even Ablueclaret would have creamed himself today on Tarks performance

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Apr 23, 2017 7:19 pm

As taio said we'll sign some more in the summer.

Stop worrying about nowt.

Cheers,so taking Mee off was tactical then ?

Tarkowski needs to move on to get game time, not really a framework player.

Why was he out of his depth?

How many goals did we concede with him on the pitch?

taio · Post by **taio** » Sun Apr 23, 2017 7:23 pm

Can't understand singling out Tarkowski from today. Woeful opening post.

United had it sewn up by then....they won at a canter,that is the worst we have played at home all season.

Why is it woeful from where I was stood he couldn't put a pass to a team mate even if he was stood next to him.

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Sun Apr 23, 2017 7:30 pm

I hope we have serious competition at centre-back next season, that means signing or developing at least two central defenders if Keane leaves
Assuming we stay up of course.
I'm not too pleased with our lack of squad rotation.

What would you say if I told you his pass completion rate was better than Keane's, Lowton's and Ward's?

summitclaret · Post by **summitclaret** » Sun Apr 23, 2017 7:32 pm

The only man to blame today was our manager. Ludicrous that Defour did not come on at half time to play in the middle. Clearly we won't see him again now. What a waste of talent and money.

Yep it'll do - it confirms what I thought

Veals · Post by **Veals** » Sun Apr 23, 2017 7:38 pm

Interesting view Steve, did Tarkowski do something specifically to make you think he's not up to standard in the premier league? I thought he brought the ball out from the back and distributed well. There were a couple of moments where he lost the ball, but he's had very little game time and united pressed us high up the pitch, which made it difficult.

I thought the game was crying out for Defour's quality on the ball in the second half, but Mourinho got the tactics spot on and they out-battled us. We would have needed to drop a striker and played a midfield 5 in order to make it work, which would have been counter-productive. I hope Dyche was just keeping his powder dry with Defour as it was unlikely we were going to come back from 0-2 down.

No,but the way you have phrased it in your op makes it appear that you believe the bullsh!t posted earlier that stated Mee was out for the season when in all likelihood he will start the next game

No I never saw such a post,next season if those two have both gone or one has gone and one is injured,we have no one currently good enough on our books to replace either,making relegation next season if not this one...inevitable .

So does this mean we aren't shopping during close season and in the run up to the closure of the transfer window?

We will never have a better pairing than Keane & Mee.the only way is down, if Brady is anything to go by, in a transfer window ....record signing and he's been absolutely shite apart from one free kick,how many millions are we going to **** against the wall in the summer..,frightening.

So if I read that right we are only allowed to sell. I hadn't realised we were under a transfer embargo
