Roy Keane

[essyoueffsee]

Saying it like it is, "pathetic".

It's about time Wilder said it too. Like he always says the bare minimum should be effort. Are we even getting that?

Norwood, Stevens, Fleck, Lundstram all just look resigned to losing from the get go.

Keane called his mum pathetic the other day for forgetting to put sugar in his tea. He is a dinosaur bully like souness. We have been terrible today no doubt but Keane is not half the manager wilder is.

Roy Keane doesn't actually watch the early games, just has a look at a few seconds of highlights and bases his entire option of a team on them. Both goals were pathetic, the rest of the first half was fairly even. A pundit who doesn't do his job unless Man U are playing is pathetic.

He offers no insight or understanding of the game. Can see why he failed as a manager just shouting and telling people to be more aggressive isn't a tactic

How do you know he doesn't watch early games and only watches highlights?

 

[BolsoverBlade]

I think he watched the early game today as everything he said was spot on. We were pathetic in that 1st half

I find it highly amusing that people are going against what hes saying, maybe those are the ones not watching? Not Keane.

Must have been a good guess then

The vast majority of early Sunday games are barely watched by the pundits.
Keane ‘blades were wank, I love Harry Kane’
Souness ‘I agree. Right, quick game of soggy biscuit over Liverpool v Man Utd?’
Keane ‘Eat my spunky Rich tea you tacheless Scottish cunt’

"Fairly even"?

One side was 1-0 up and were fairly happy to settle for 1-0 until Kane was given a glorious opportunity.
One side was 1-0 down and were fairly happy to settle for 0-1 until Kane was given a glorious opportunity.

This side is too happy to lose by 1 goal.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Roy Keane was bang on the money. It was pathetic.

 

[Cheesebored]

I was more annoyed by Michael Dawson's 10 minute Spurs love in. Keane's a wanker but his analysis today was spot on I'm afraid.

 

[Mojo]

That second goal today was beyond pathetic just watch it back. If you conceded that in the Sunday imperial league you would deserve a verbal hammering, nevermind premier league

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

He was referring to Norwood's attempt to get the ball back after losing it through poor control.
He was spot on in that it was, indeed, pathetic.

 

[Davalon]

Not always a fan of Keane because he's OTT for show too often but I've no issue with his comments today whatsoever

Agreed on today's showing but a stopped clock is right twice day. Everytime a team is losing its down to a lack of effort according to him

 

[CentralQuay]

I don't think he plays up to it at all, I think it's just the way he is.

I think he was suggesting Norwood took a red rather than allow Kane past him, that's probably why Keane holds the record for most red cards

 

[Swinton Blade]

And why he was a winner when he was a player.

Not saying it's right tho.

 

[JPSharpy93]

Keanes comments made me angry but...the truth hurts

 

[BolsoverBlade]

I think the moment the commentators mentioned Stevens should have been running into space to take a simple ball from Fleck that summed us up. It was how we have played for 4 seasons but he simply didn't go as he was worried about his man, who hadn't followed him.
Was either a lack of effort or he was scared shitless spurs would break. Either way our formation depends on him getting forward or it doesn't work. So for me Keane was spot on. It was spineless and pathetic

 

[Badger Blade]

Norwood pissing the ball away twice and shit defending from a set piece sums it up, it is indeed pathetic from a so-called Premier League team.

I'd say Roy Keane is in a decent enough position to pass judgement on the likes of Norwood based on what he achieved in the game playing in that position. If someone like him was in our team now, we wouldn't be bottom on 5 points.

 

[bakeblade]

And why he was a winner when he was a player.

It's not being a winner putting your team down to 10 men. Saying that we'd have probably been better without Norwood and down to 10.

 

[BobblesBlade]

Come on. Apart from the victory against Newcastle and it was through a pen against 10 men ( performance was great) we are absolutely shocking.
The amount of rubbish first time touches. Misplaced passes and not being able to create goals from open play is embarrassing.

 

[Boxer Blade]

How does Keane manage to lay down in an upright armchair

 

[Almosthuman]

Think the sad thing is that most of them are good enough to play at the level and they're all putting effort in.

They've just lost their bottle as a team. Last season we'd always look to play that killer pass or gamble on a dangerous run that would catch defences off guard.

This season, theyre just too scared to do it. You can see it when they get the ball (bar bash and didsy).

That's what hurts the most, they've just lost the bravery that got us here

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

I like Roy Keane a lot. No bullshit, no nonsense., always hits the bullseye with his analysis. Also, he's as critical of his own former teams shortcomings as anybody else's.

Same goes for Souness, except for his irritating tendency to refer to us as 'Sheffield' all the time.

Trouble is most of them are good enough to play at this level when they are playing as a confident team in a style that is working.
Individually we lack quality, pace and power throughout the team.
As individual players i'd only say Berge, JOC and possibly Baldock would be wanted by another PL club, Didsy too old but has the quality.

 

[Mario1889]

I’ve seen Keane’s comments online and in fairness to him, I watched the match on the international stream and Owen, Scholes and McManamam were equally as scathing, especially in their criticism of Ramsdale.

I can’t remember the last time a player has been singled out at HT as much for criticism as Ramsdale was today but in fairness everything they said about him was spot on. He was his usual useless self.
