Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has made a scathing assessment of Everton defender Michael Keane, labeling his performance in the Merseyside derby as an “utter disgrace”.
Carragher’s comments came after Keane’s mistake led to Liverpool’s goal in the match. The Everton defender was caught out of position, allowing Liverpool’s attacker to get behind him and score.
Carragher, who was working as a pundit for Sky Sports, was quick to criticize Keane’s performance. “That’s an utter disgrace from Michael Keane,” Carragher said. “He’s got to do better than that. He’s a senior player, he’s an international player, and he’s got to take responsibility for his actions on the pitch.”
Carragher’s comments were echoed by many Everton fans, who took to social media to express their frustration with Keane’s performance. “Keane’s been a liability all season,” one fan tweeted. “He’s got to go in the summer.”
Another fan added, “I’m so fed up with Keane’s mistakes. He’s costing us points every week.”
Even some Liverpool fans were surprised by Keane’s mistake, with one fan tweeting, “I’ve seen Sunday league defenders make better decisions than that!”
Carragher’s comments have sparked a wider debate about Keane’s future at Everton. The defender has been with the club since 2017, but his form has been inconsistent in recent seasons.
With Everton struggling to find consistency in the Premier League, it remains to be seen whether Keane will be able to turn his form around and prove himself as a reliable defender for the club.
