Though his native Ireland are in action on Sunday evening, Roy Keane was first tasked with dissecting England's away Nations League clash with Finland.
England endured a disastrous defeat at home to Greece on Thursday night, with the visitors snatching an injury-time winner through Vangelis Pavlidis to secure a famous result at Wembley.
The days since have seen much debate about interim boss Lee Carsley's long-term credentials for the job - as well as whether the ex-Ireland international even wants the job on a permanent basis.
Carsley's team selection for the game against Greece raised more than a few eyebrows, with the manager choosing not to utilise a traditional centre forward, while also selecting only one defensive presence in midfield.
The interim manager made six changes for Sunday night's game against Finland and unusually opted to switch Trent Alexander-Arnold to left-back to accommodate Kyle Walker down the right.
Liverpool man Alexander-Arnold has traditionally lined out at right-back, though he has been deployed in midfield on occasion for his country.
When assessing his positioning in Sunday's starting XI, a throwaway remark from Roy Keane made clear the ex-Manchester United star's feelings on Alexander-Arnold's defensive capabilities.

England: Roy Keane had brutal put-down for Trent Alexander-Arnold
Trent Alexander-Arnold's defensive ability has long been a bone of contention for football pundits and Lee Carsley had a test for the Liverpool man in playing him out of position in Helsinki on Sunday.
Judging by Roy Keane's brutal one-liner on ITV assessing that decision, it doesn't matter to the Irishman which flank Trent plays on.
Mark Pougatch: "What about Trent Alexander-Arnold? He's never played at left-back for Liverpool or England before."
Ian Wright: "We'll see tonight, obviously he's on his wrong side but once he does get the ball he'll be able to turn inside and see everything."
Keane: "If you saw him the other night defending, it looked like he'd never played right-back before."
Ian Wright beside Keane in the Sky studio was cracked up by his punditry partner's remark.
In fairness to Alexander-Arnold, barely any England player came out of Thursday's game with any credit in the bank.
The performance in defeat to Greece has dampened much of the talk that Lee Carsley could land the permanent job. Carsley himself has hinted that he has no interest in taking over from Gareth Southgate, saying he is looking forward to going back to the U21 job.
Roy Keane explained on ITV pre-match why he did not expect Carsley to take the job, and said that his ex-Ireland teammate had been honest in his dealings with the press.
He's had the same message for the last month or so since he got the job - he's just going to focus on the upcoming games.
There's been no signs, he's not come out with any sort of messages that he's desperate for this job.
I know that he said a few years ago that he didn't really want to work with senior players, he was comfortable working with younger players. Obviously he's allowed to change his mind but certainly over the last month or two he's not sending out the messages that he's desperate for this job.
