Roy Keane slams England star in scathing review of Greece upset: ‘He’s not going to change’

Roy Keane issued a scathing assessment of England’s disastrous performance against Greece, reserving particular criticism for goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

An experimental Three Lions side deservedly fell to a shock 2-1 loss in the Nations League at Wembley on Thursday night, with interim boss Lee Carsley’s selection gamble backfiring hugely on a dismal evening to surely put a massive dent in any hopes he had of becoming Gareth Southgate’s permanent managerial successor at senior level.

It was England’s first-ever loss to Greece and first defeat in a competitive match at Wembley for the hosts for four years, with the likes of Keane and fellow ITV pundit Ian Wright pulling no punches in their assessment of a woeful display.

Keane was particularly critical of the performance of long-time No1 Pickford, commenting on Levi Colwill’s remarkable goal-line clearance in the first half: “What’s he doing? Do it quickly. Brilliant defending, very unlucky by Greece but a lovely message for defenders – never give it up. He chased it and did brilliant. But not a good message from Pickford to send.”
