Any need in being so aggressive all the time?

Can we go back to talking about mattresses?

We had this issue last year when he did alright for a few weeks when branthwaite was out.
Ultimately you get branthwaite into the side as soon as he's fit enough. Why we all collectively know he would not drop Tark for Keane is a question you can ask yourself, but there's no way on god's green one that Michael Keane keeps jarrad branthwaite out of any side on form or ability.

I think tark is a better defender than Keane both useful in the opposition box but for me tark and Jared is first choice

I'd never suggest to play Keane before Branthwaite, but surely Keane before Tarkowski is worth discussing when the Cumbrian Maldini is back

There is no issue until JB is fit. I'm just glad we have some adequate cover given the length of injury and good competiton for the CB spot(s).

We're going to have to transition to Jarrod and Jake over the next 12 months or so, so we can play a much higher line with good recovery speed, but will need full back additions to complement it, and a midfield that can play the ball, Tarks and Keane are still our distribution experts at the moment.

This'll be a good pub quiz question - Keane became the first player to score at all three of Everton's stadiums

Without delving in to the incident itself I think Keane deserve huge credit for his performance after.
Could easily have put him off his game but he was absolutely immense. KDH is getting a lot of plaudits but for me Keane was the best player on the pitch last night.
I don't want to say he's unflappable these days, but dunno... You'd think if his head was going to go at some point that'd have been the moment for it to happen.
I know there's a clamour for Branthwaite to be put straight back in once fit, and some will never trust Keane, but right now he's undroppable.

Branthwaite won’t come back in with Keane playing like he is. No one saw that he would be capable of this kind of turnaround at the beginning of the season.AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 25, 2025 10:46 am Without delving in to the incident itself I think Keane deserve huge credit for his performance after.

I am not sure what’s happened for him to suddenly become the player he is, but long may it continue. I love being proved wrong when it has a positive outcome like it has with Keane. You would have to think that Moyes has played a huge part in his revival.
Not sure if I would pinpoint any one player yesterday as they were all fantastic, but Keane was a major part of why we looked so solid.

Branthwaite will 100% be back in when he's fully fit.

Branthwaite comes back in because he's orders of magnitudes above either, Tark stays in because he's the senior CB, Keane drops out with a well deserved 'well done son'.
