Roy Keane destroys Declan Rice for England v Scotland
Roy Keane destroyed West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice for his performance for England against Scotland.
The Three Lions struggled at Wembley, and Gareth Southgate appeared to have got it wrong with his similar tactics.
Keane singled out the like of Rice for criticism, insisting that he did nowhere enough to affect the game in an attacking sense.
Speaking during ITV’s live coverage of the clash last night, Keane went as far as to say that Rice was “not good enough.”
“They’re all taking too many touches at the back,” he said.
“Rice is coming back, doing nothing. He’s coming back and giving sidewards passes. Not good enough.”
Slow.
This is majorly critical of one player when the whole England squad was lacklustre for 90 minutes last night.
It is always Rice or Kalvin Phillips who takes the criticism, but the latter is the new love child of the country so our man has taken the blame.
Rice will know it wasn’t good enough, but it was the entire side, not just him and Keane just always likes to single out one man doesn’t he?
This was an off-day for everyone, who need to be back at their best on Tuesday evening in the group decider.
Southgate will need to have at look at himself too, you can’t just play the exact same tactics in every single game and hope for the same result.
Rice will be better, he won’t shy away, but this criticism is way out of line.
