"If this is a young right back, you're thinking it's inexperience," Keane said on ITV's coverage of the game. "But I think he's being lazy.
"He almost can't be bothered getting back. For a vastly experienced player, you can't be making mistakes like that."
Ian Wright added: "If Kyle gets in there, he probably clears that."
Former and England full-back Lee Dixon was no more forgiving. On commentary he said: "As a defender, you have to think the worst is going to happen.
"The ball is going to be kept in, and you have got to be ahead of the game. Just look at Walker.
"Sarr is goal side He has to expect the ball to come in. He just goes to sleep. Poor from Walker."
Keane suggested such night will leave Tuchel with questions over a number of players.
"Every time I watch England in the last few games, I think they could do a lot more," he said. "It's as if they're waiting for a setback.
"That said, Gordon should score, they should be 2-0 up. Walker shouldn't make a mistake. Ultimately, the manager will still have question marks over some of these players."
