Why Keep taking Keane off?

[Mike]

El Zhar should get more of a run out, but only when we can afford to let him.

Once we get a finisher ala torres back into the team and out away our chances, we will more comfortable towards the end of the match than we are now; this will allow a few players to grab some experience.

I'd disagree, Bellamy had a very slow start remember, very like Keane looked like he was trying too hard. I'd be pretty sure that if you worked out Bellamy's goals & assists at this point compared to Keane, the latter's would be better.

Personally I rate Bellamy too, shame he's such a ****.

No, they had 3 good ones and Darren Bent

I don't think he is 100%, if Torres was fit he wouldn't have played half if any of the games since the international break.

Totally disagree with you yet again. Keane is working hard for the team and creating chances for everybody. He isn't scoring yet but i am completely confident that he soon will be and the best way is to keep giving him games and he will come good.

He is struggling at the moment because he is having to do the wrong role, once Torres is back he will be able to play off him and be natural support striker that he is. Goal scorer who will soon start banging them in. Alongside Torres he will be deadly. Rafa isn't stupid and impatient, he knows that Keane is struggling a little without Torres

Unlike some here.

Any thoughts on this - how is the lad to score if he's only playing 60-65 minutes.

Needs to get the 90 as i think he can be more dangerous as the defenders become tired and lose a yard.

maybe he's injured at the moment but this has happened all season.

I am suprised at how few chances he is creating for himself. I taught he would be flying after 5 games or so but he really doesnt look like scoring at the minute. Hopefully that will change soon, just as well Kuyt is doing well.
