The first half of Everton vs Manchester United's 1-1 draw today at Goodison Park was marked by two pieces of poor goalkeeping. Unfortunately for David De Gea and Jordan Pickford, Roy Keane was in the pundit's gantry and he was particularly unimpressed by the work of both men between the sticks.
Keane was at his most scathing when discussing the Everton keeper, stating bluntly: 'he's not a good keeper'

On De Gea, Keane was also angered:
'As a manager, or a player, you’d kill him. I swear, it’s crazy. You talk about people being too clever.
'It just takes too long, what is he waiting for? If you’re going to make a decision, at least make it quickly. These are huge moments for United in terms of trying to get top four.
'You’ve got your experienced goalkeeper, what is he waiting for? There’s almost a bit of arrogance to it, ‘look at me, give me time’.
'They almost think they’re outfield players. I would have lynched him at half time, I’d have no time for that carry on. I know keepers can make mistakes, but there’s no excuse for that.'
“The ball is moving... of course it’s going to move when someone kicks it” - Roy Keane, 2020.

Roy Keane needs to stop sitting on the fence about these two keepers....

Pickford redeemed himself with a really impressive double save in the 89th minute to keep United out. De Gea made a pretty decent save in injury time. Maybe they learned of Keane's criticism.
