Roy Keane blasts Chelsea star s laziness and lack of desire in 1-1 Manchester United draw

Roy Keane criticised Ben Chilwell's defensive contribution on Saturday. Former captain Roy Keane has hit out at defender for his lethargic performance in his team's recent 1-1 draw against the Red Devils. Chelsea were held to a second successive Premier League draw by Erik ten Hag's side at Stamford Bridge on Saturday (October 22). After a tense tactical battle for over an hour, Jorginho opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 87th minute. However, Casemiro rescued a point for the visitors with a dramatic injury-time header. These SCENES These SCENES Speaking on Sky Sports (via ), Keane discussed the Blues' defensive structure during Manchester United's late equalizer. He said: "Chelsea were all over the place considering you're looking at an experienced centre-half [Thiago Silva]. They're not quite set there and of course, United are gambling, throwing people forward [and] it's a great ball in." Keane also slammed Chilwell for his role in Casemiro's last-ditch leveler, claiming the defender to be lazy and devoid of desire. He added: "Chilwell, your typical full-back or wing-back, he's just jumping for the sake of it. I don't like that. When the ball comes in, Chilwell did not want to head the ball. He went through the motions like a modern full-back. It's just laziness, no desire and it's an amazing header." Chilwell, 25, started his fourth Premier League match on Saturday after being absent from the Blues' squad in their recent 0-0 draw against Brentford. He completed 22 passes, made two clearances, won five duels and registered two interceptions during the contest. While Chelsea are currently fourth in the 2022-23 Premier League standings with 21 points from 11 games, Manchester United are fifth with one point fewer than the Graham Potter-coached outfit.
