Michael Keane slammed by pundit after Everton footage emerges – ‘This is not an isolated incident’
Paul Robinson has slammed Everton defender Michael Keane for “costing Everton dearly”.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and England goalkeeper said the 29-year-old “suffers from lapses in concentration far too often.”
As shown on Sky Sports (26 February), Keane was at fault for the only goal in Everton’s 1-0 loss to Manchester City on Saturday evening.

However, his teammate Seamus Coleman has also made two errors leading to goals.
Robinson, who played with Keane at Burnley between 2015-17, claimed Frank Lampard “needs to address” his defence in the next transfer window.
“Keane suffers from lapses in concentration,” he told Football Insider‘s Dylan Childs.
“It happens far too often. This is not an isolated incident. This is not a one-off.
“The centre-half area needs to be addressed at Everton. Lampard must have known he would have to look at it when he came in.
“There is a severe lack of leadership back there. There is too many errors leading to goals for them. It is costing Everton dearly. These are errors that could be and need to be stopped.”
Keane has been a regular starter for the Toffees this season and has contributed two goals and two assists in 27 appearances across all competitions.
His contract at Goodison Park runs until the summer of 2025.
