In a blistering post-match review of Sunderland’s 3-1 defeat to Fulham on February 22, 2026, Roy Keane delivered a scathing critique of Brian Brobbey. The former Black Cats manager was left speechless by the striker’s performance, particularly a pivotal moment where he conceded a penalty for a reckless shirt-pull on Fulham’s Calvin Bassey.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane did not hold back, suggesting the Dutch forward’s display was a total lack of discipline and effort.
”I’ve seen some poor performances in my time, but that from Brobbey? That was the poorest I have ever seen from an individual,” Keane fumed. “You’re 1-0 down, you’re trying to stay in the game, and you give away a penalty for a shirt-pull that you’d expect in a Sunday league match. It was lazy, it was brainless, and it cost his team any chance of a comeback.”
Despite Enzo Le Fée pulling a goal back from the spot later in the half, Alex Iwobi’s late strike sealed Sunderland’s second consecutive home loss. For Keane, Brobbey’s failure to lead the line or show basic defensive awareness was “unforgivable,” as he warned that Sunderland’s recent slump will continue if senior players continue to put in “passenger-like” shifts.
