The post match debate is more interesting than the game
Keane has been hitting the nail on the head from the start of the programme.

Your final Word shows clearly how your opinion of him will blind any discussion on the guy.
As to the Scholes thing. I heard it after he left and once he'd returned. Ftom Scholes.
Paul Pogba decided to leave Manchester United in 2012 when Phil Jones was selected ahead of him for a first-team match, according to Old Trafford legend Paul Scholes.
Quoted in The Sun, Scholes has spoken about the time he returned to professional football in January 2012, having earlier retired in 2011.
He was working with United’s reserve team, and in the midst of an injury crisis Scholes decided to return to help out Sir Alex Ferguson.
But, just before Scholes came out of retirement, Manchester United hosted Blackburn Rovers in a fixture that saw the Red Devils fall to a shock 3-2 defeat to the Premier League’s bottom club.
Despite the decimated state of Ferguson’s squad, Pogba was still not called up to United’s starting line-up, and had to settle for a place on the bench.
This was the exact moment the Frenchman decided to leave Old Trafford, according to Scholes.
As explained by Scholes: “He [Ferguson] originally wanted me to come back to coach the reserve team with Warren Joyce.
“I said, in September I’ll come back… so I had three or four months with the family, had some nice holidays.
“I started helping Joycey and started training with him – training with the likes of Pogba, [Jesse] Lingard… they were a really good side.
“I just thought, I’m loving training, I was getting fit and felt great. It got to December-time, the team was struggling, had a load of injuries.
“They had no central midfield players, really. They ended up playing Phil Jones and Fabio against Blackburn at Old Trafford and really struggled.
“That was the end of Pogba, I think. He thought he should have been playing that night instead of those two.
“But he was playing in the reserve team and wasn’t doing very well, so he didn’t really warrant that.
“So I went to Joycey and said: ‘I’m thinking of coming back’.â€
Pogba departed Old Trafford at the end of that season due to a lack of first-team opportunities, joining Juventus in Italy.
He made his name as one of the world’s best midfielders in Serie A, and the France international returned to Manchester United for £89m in August 2016.
The above is the link you quoted, guess you selected wrong one.
Mass culling of players doesn’t happen at this level and those calling for it must think the Premier League is a real life version of Football Manager.
Do we have players who aren’t up to our ambitions? Absolutely. Are we going to go out and replace ten major first team players in a summer? Not a hope. It would be disastrous.
It's very close but you are welcome to it. The phrase poisoned chalice springs to mind.The race for 7th place is far more exciting than the top4

At least the teams going for 7th are winning games, trying to win games etc. The ones going for 4th have all just stalled.
Second that. I'll take 8th all day over 7th.
At £1,931,628.00 per place, I'm sure your chairman wouldn't agree!
It will cost the chairman more than that when they end up in 15th place the following year. Teams outside the top 6 simply don't have the squad quality to compete on that front. Thursday in Khazaksthan, Sunday in Burnley, repeat. It does not work for those 7-12th teams who fight for that spot.At £1,931,628.00 per place, I'm sure your chairman wouldn't agree!
That is nonsense beyond belief. Pogba over 20 odd other midfielders, never mind Hazard!!! (who should be an automatic imo)Pogba over Hazard?
