The Everton Forum • Re: Michael Keane
It’s a flaw in his game.I get you, and I've thought about this previously, like when he 'handled' in the same way but on the other side of the box a season or two ago...
Not sure how anyone undoes or reorders 30-odd years worth of body mechanics and movement. It's just him, he's very ungainly, long limbs, but never in a way that suggests he's trying to have his arms in the way or gaining an advantage.
I think he's a bit unfairly treated due to his body shape and obvious and distinct movements, something that he cannot change.
The arms behind the backs business is ridiculous and unnatural result of a rule thats gone too far to produce more goals.
Has quite a few handballs and mistakes in the box because he can’t get him lanky limbs out the way.
A lot of defenders have adapted but he hasn’t for whatever reason.
This with tarkowski standing right infront of the keeper instead of pushing out makes for a terrible combination.
