Tell you what, Keane with some absolute criminal "defending" for their goal yesterday. The more times I watch it the more I cringe. I think it is safe to say that we will see him dropped and JB will come in for the Bournemouth game.
Amazing what happens when you bring a winger on too. Not digging Armstrong out but he lost the ball too often yesterday. If you are going to play him, play him in the middle where he is at home.

Yes spot on BN, keanes mistake stuck out like a sore thumb, although tarks was also rubbish most of the game too, as I mentioned in my post after the game it has to be time to put branthwaite and O’Brien together with a natural balance of Patterson on the right but obviously Moyes ain’t going to do that.
As for Armstrong somebody mentioned about playing him in the 10 and dropping KDH back to 8 which is his more natural position as Armstrong is definitely wasted out wide.

Agree with that, bn. Only plus side is that MK has had a solid season so far and these kind of mistakes have been few and far between in comparison to seasons gone by. Hopefully it's just a blip.
Tarks hasn't been at the races this season and has caused more mayhem in our own box than we would expect from him. Feels like he has been playing catch up after missing pre-season and isn't fully. himself.

Totally agree Col, and I suggested much the same in my post the other day.
A proper RB, would also surely give us another attacking dimension compared to now.
