It is easy to make saves at 4-0 up, he has made saves at important times, at 0-0, or 1-0. Even at Bolton [where United won 6-0] he made two great saves before we had scored."Keane is one of the best players in Britain I would not swap him for anyone. I hope [Ryan] Giggs emerges to be the great player I know he is going to be These are important players. If we are going to win the League, we need them all performing."Apart from Pallister, who has played well but too rarely, they have not let him down.

He had also said that day at The Cliff: "I expect great things from my good players: [Gary] Pallister; [Peter] Schmeichel; [Roy] Keane That is the backbone of my side. Mark Hughes, Andrei Kanchelskis and, bafflingly, Paul Ince had been sold and no one bought.
