James McClean: Roy Keane’s post-Belarus remarks were ‘bang on’

“Not everyone can have a good game but the bare minimum is to give 110% in your performance."

It didn’t rank among the major criticisms during Roy Keane’s hard-hitting press conference, but when asked about James McClean, Keane was equally upfront and abrasively honest, writes Stephen Barry.

“James brings a lot of energy to the group, absolutely,” said Martin O’Neill’s right-hand man. “But you need more than energy as well and James need to produce a bit more – more quality, first-touch, more of a goal threat.”
