TalkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan ignited a heated debate on Tuesday, lambasting Everton defender Michael Keane for his performances. Jordan declared Keane “useless” and claimed the Toffees suffer whenever he plays, citing his recent struggles as a reason for his scathing critique.

This prompted a retort from co-host Jim White, who called Jordan’s comments “harsh” and questioned his singling out of Keane. Undeterred, Jordan maintained his criticism, labelling Keane’s displays “abhorrent” and “the worst I’ve seen in the Premier League.”

The debate comes at a difficult time for Everton, with manager Sean Dyche struggling to get the best out of his squad. While Keane has had a mixed season, he put in a decent showing against Southampton in the EFL Cup, despite the Toffees eventually losing on penalties.

Dyche himself defended Keane, highlighting his solid performance against the Saints. However, Jordan’s harsh words come amidst mounting pressure on Dyche, with supporters questioning several of his decisions.

The debate underscores the pressure on both manager and players at Everton as they search for form and stability.
