Burnley manager Sean Dyche has joked that Roy Keane probably could have played in the Spurs midfield against the Clarets on Sunday.
The former Manchester United captain felt Dyche's side were poor in the clash at the London Stadium which they lost 4-0 and suggested he could have played in the game given the one-sided nature of it, reports Lancs Live.
"It was easy for Spurs today," said Keane post-match. "Burnley were desperate - I couldn't believe how bad they were.
"I know they were bad last week against West Brom and they were just as bad today.
"Spurs have done well today and I've give them credit over the years, they are a nice, tidy team on their day but it was easy today.
"We could've played in that game today."
Dyche was asked about Keane's comments ahead of his side's clash with Leicester City on Wednesday and the Burnley boss said he wouldn't be taking the criticism to heart.
"He probably could have," responded Dyche.
"I don’t know if you remember him as a player, but he was pretty decent! So it wouldn’t surprise me if he could have played out there to be far to him.
"Look, I’ve got no problem with him questioning us, what we do. It’s art of their job. They’re pundits for a reason. They have a voice, they have a say.
“I’ve never been precious about that sort of thing, because everyone has an opinion on football, not just the pundits. It’s a strange job, because you constantly have people telling you what you’re doing wrong.
"I can’t ever remember going into my doctor’s and telling him what he was doing wrong, or my lawyer. But as football managers, everyone thinks they can do the job better than us.
"I’m used to that. And I’ve certainly got no problem with Roy Keane expressing his views."
