Roy Keane lashes out at Aurier and Rose
The former Red Devils player specifically quoted the full-back pair as 'Dumb and Dumber.'
Sky Sports pundit, Roy Keane termed Tottenham's fullbacks, Serge Aurier and Danny Rose as 'dumb and dumber' after their 1-2 defeat against Liverpool.
Both the Spurs fullbacks came out second best against Liverpool's attack. Even their counterparts Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson were exceptional on their overlaps. To add to the misery Aurier also brought down Sadio Mane in the penalty area which allowed Mohamed Salah to hand Liverpool the winner from the spot.
After the match, Keane said on Sky Sports, "The two Tottenham full-backs were dreadful. Dumb and Dumber, I'd call them. I thought they were really poor. You can't compare them to Liverpool, the two lads who are absolutely fantastic."
"Particularly going forward, okay defensively there's parts of the games they can improve on, but going forward they're absolutely fantastic."

"I didn't think they were helped by the narrowness," he said. "Eriksen and Son in those wide areas - Son did it a lot better than Eriksen. Eriksen didn't want to be there, so it just opened up the pass all the way and they were exposed."
Neville also sung praises about LIverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold claiming that the youngster has the potential to be world-class if he rectifies his minute mistakes.
"Liverpool's full-backs are quite simply sensational," Neville added. "Trent Alexander-Arnold is amazing. From the moment I laid eyes on him in that first game at Old Trafford, his temperament was amazing. To be thrown in during that game, he was outstanding from minute one."

"Tottenham could have scored two or three and he could've been sat on a losing team or a team that drew because of his defensive play. If he looks at that, it's an epitome of what his game is," Neville concluded pointing out the mistakes of the 21-year old in the game versus Tottenham.
