There's the option go 4-2-3-1 like we did at times last season now Shaqiri is fit. Just hope Shaqiri, Keita and Chamberlain stay fit because without Fabinho I think we need one of them in there most games. No one's going to replace Fabinho like for like but there's still plenty of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted November 29, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Brighton, Everton, Bournemouth, Watford and West Ham before facing Leicester by which stage we might see them drop another 3 points against City because their fixture list is also rather favorable. Sorry West Ham is TBD. Edited November 29, 2019 by Mel81x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't really feel we've played Keita with the regularity that would be required for him to really gel into the first team so it's been hard to pass real judgement on him.

I agree, he actually started last season pretty well though. His early performances were promising then he got injured and has been unable to keep himself fit for any period since. He had a decent run towards the end last season and got injured again. Even without Fabinho's injury, I was looking at this run of fixtures as one where he could really make an impression and start maybe 75% of these games in the run up to Christmas. I feel like if it doesn't happen for him in this run, it probably never will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally those who go on to great success were prised from us against the will of those at the club. If we sell Keita despite him never getting that extended run in the side I wouldn't be surprised if he turns into a star somewhere else.

We cant give him an extended run when hes injured all the time. This is his second season now and I think hes yet to start 3 games on the spin due to niggling little injuries. It seems like Klopp is trying to change the way Keita plays as well. For RBL he would receive the ball deep and just go on marauding runs through midfield, or hit sensational through balls to the forwards. With us he just seems to stand there static, recieve the ball and pass it sideways. That's not his game at all. I've also heard that he's struggling to settle in this country for a few reasons. That seems legit when you watch him play because he just doesn't look like hes enjoying his time here at all. I so want keita to work out for us but it's looking very much like he will be one of Klopps few flop signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree with most of that but I feel he's not been as injury prone as your making out. They've been an issue for certain but for me the problem was more that you just can't start anyone ahead of Gini for more than 3 games in a row cos he's just been too damn good...

Milner has started more games. Wigi, Hendo and Fabinho too. Even Ox coming off an horrific injury is more of a first option over Naby. Injuries haven't helped (because he has picked up a few) but theres obviously something in Keita's game that Klopp doesn't like and cant iron out. He doesn't even make the matchday squad sometimes, never mind the first 11. That's pretty telling that his days here are numbered. As I said, it's a real shame because for RBL he was sensational. This is his injury record, it's not great... https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/naby-keita/verletzungen/spieler/302215 His downward spiral has been astonishing to be honest. In his time here he has 3 goals and 1 assist. In the same time at RBL he had something like (maybe slightly out but still pretty telling) .. 23 goals and 28 assists. His defensive stats in Germany were also off the charts. Here they are below average at best. I just want something to click and he starts reproducing his RBL form for us, because hes a great player. Just seems like Klopp doesn't trust him. Edited November 30, 2019 by LFCMadLad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
