Roy Keane launched a surprise attack on Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana on Sky Sports on Sunday.
When providing punditry on Chelsea's visit of Everton, the Manchester United legend explained how he felt it would be a tougher test for the hosts than their 2-0 win over champions-elect Liverpool in the FA Cup on Tuesday.
His reason was simply because Lallana was starting for the Reds before Keane came up with some incredibly brutal criticism of the former Southampton man.
"I think Everton in a strange way will be a tougher test than the Liverpool game.

"Because I think Lallana was in midfield the other night for Liverpool. I know my daughter's probably stronger than him."
While Keane was incredibly complimentary of Chelsea youngster Billy Gilmour, who he stated had the potential to be world-class, he was also his usual blunt self during a discussion with Micah Richards.

The 31-year old was comparing his situation with Gilmour and spoke of how he "burst onto the scene" as an 18-year old at Manchester City.
Keane interrupted Richards by asking him if he actually believed that he "burst onto the scene" - but in a rare event in the studio - the former England defender refused to back down against the Irishman.
