Roy Keane has praised Liverpool’s resilience following their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Newcastle United in the Premier League 2025/26 season. Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane highlighted Liverpool’s relentless pursuit of goals and their ability to maintain pressure on opponents even in tough matches. He contrasted this attitude with that of Arsenal, who he criticized for being too content to hold narrow leads rather than aggressively seeking to extend them.
Keane emphasized that Liverpool and Manchester City consistently look to score multiple goals regardless of the situation, noting this as a key factor in their success. This mentality, he argued, separates the top contenders from teams that often fall short. He singled out Liverpool’s robustness and mental strength as major assets that make them serious title challengers.
The discussion also touched on Liverpool’s current squad situation, particularly the forward line, which faces uncertainties after the departures of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez. Keane suggested that Liverpool’s potential signing of Alexander Isak could significantly bolster their attack, potentially tipping the balance for the title race. However, he expressed some caution about Isak’s controversial exit from Newcastle and how it might affect his integration.
Keane's insights come amid broader commentary from pundits like Gary Neville, who also back Liverpool to be strong title contenders but recognize the challenges they face. The overall tone of Keane’s analysis credits Liverpool’s dogged determination and tactical approach as central to their chances this season, highlighting resilience as their defining quality.
