da bwin： Everton fans aren’t particularly happy with Leighton Baines, after the veteran defender said Michael Keane has been “terrific” lately.
da 888casino： Outside of Jordan Pickford, none of Everton’s big summer signings have particularly impressed this season.
To be fair to Michael Keane though, he has showed glimpses of the form that earned him his big move from Burnley.
It’s not been an easy season for the 25 year-old though, and he has taken plenty of flak from fans despite starting 25 league games.
His form has certainly improved with the returns of Baines, Phil Jagielka and Seamus Coleman, and Baines is clearly impressed by the young defender.
“Michael’s form is brilliant, he has been fantastic for us in recent weeks,” the 33 year-old told evertontv. “The rest of us in the back four have played together a long time and that has helped settle us at times.
“But Michael’s form has been terrific in the past few weeks and it is good to see.

“They (the summer signings) came in at a difficult time. We did not quite get things together and there was a lot of new signings.
“It has been more settled in recent weeks and Michael’s form in particular has been one of the huge positives from that.”
Fans can surely sympathise with the fact that Keane has played most of his Goodison career alongside youngsters and Ashley Williams, and he has looked much better since the experienced heads returned from injury.
Still, fans are bashing Baines’ comments on Twitter, and most of them are still haunted by Keane’s absurd back pass in the draw at Swansea.
