Roy Keane was in top form on the latest episode of the Stick To Football podcast, as he and the panel dissected last week's one-sided game between Liverpool and Man United.
Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville were very animated throughout the show, but one topic in particular really irked the Irishman.
When discussing Erik ten Hag's tactics of playing out from the back, they questioned whether United had the players to do it, and wondered why they stick to that plan even when they are losing.
Keane made the point that he went to watch Salford City against Milton Keynes on Monday, and the same situation arose.
Tom McGill, the MK goalkeeper, was between the sticks and although Frankie Okoronkwo scored the only goal of the game, it was the keeper's behaviour in the late stages of the game that drove Keane to a fit of rage.

The craziness I find when players are coming up playing out the back when they're losing," Keane said on the Stick to Football podcast. "The goalkeeper was coming out, he was taking seven or eight touches...
"I was going to hang around the dressing room after the match and see the MK Dons goalkeeper and ask him, going 'you know when you're losing with 15 minutes [left]... you're f***ing losing!'" This prompted laughter from Neville and Carragher, but Keane wasn't done.
"You know in American sports, the time out. After 70 minutes you just do the time out," he continued, making a 'T' gesture with his hands. "The lads will come over to you and you can go 'Lads, you know we're losing, you have to get the ball down there'.
"[You see] 19 passes. MK Dons. Who do you think you are? Get it forward. It's as if they don't know what the score is," he added. Then, turning towards Salford co-owner Neville, Carragher said with a smile "Those are the opinions of Roy Keane and not Salford FC."
It's no surprise that a player who was as 'no nonsense' as Keane finds this tactic particularly infuriating, and whether it was MK Dons or Man United last week, it does look like he has a point.
