Sean Dyche must bring Everton defender Michael Keane off at half-time v Leicester City
Michael Keane’s terrible decision making and positioning have cost Everton two goals against Leicester City at the King Power.
The Toffees took an early lead but gave two goals away not too long ago with Keane surely able to do better to keep Jamie Vardy at bay and then he gave away a needless penalty at the stroke of half-time which could’ve seen it 3-1 had James Maddison not messed it up.
He could’ve positioned himself better and it seems like Sean Dyche’s loyalty to him is going to cost the team dearly.
Vardy just ran past him with ease and despite beating Jordan Pickford, the 30-year-old did not send himself to the floor to stop the ball from going into the back of the net.
Everton started the game strongly and on the front foot and there were no surprises when Dominic Calvert-Lewin opened the scoring.
But time and again this season, defensive errors have cost the Toffees and they did again when Caglar Soyuncu found the back of the net.
This is not acceptable and the Toffees cannot afford to play that way as it’s going to cost them and eventually see them losing the game.
They’ve got to take advantage of the edgy and tetchy atmosphere at the King Power as the fans know how important this game is for both sides.
There will always be that risk of Jamie Vardy running in behind and
It’s going to be interesting to see if Dyche makes any changes at half time and whether he asks his team to go for the win.
