Just been watching Modric and Iniesta compilations, trying to figure out whose style of play Naby resembles the most. Seems he has the skill set of both but my primary question is:
1. Who do you guys think Keita resembles the most and my secondary question is:
2. Who is better- a prime Luka Modric or a prime Andres Iniesta?

Mods, isn't it about time you changed the title to show that Naby's here now?

You're mistaken, this is the thread to discuss Naby Keita's watch.

Just watched this with Inner Circle - Sweat song playing in the background. They go surprisingly well together.

Could this lad play as a number 10, if we don’t get Fekir?

Don't even want to think about that, because that would be very disappointing. Especially since the Coutinho money has barely been touched yet.

kkapo18 · « **Reply #3008 on:** July 15, 2018, 11:31:32 am »

just seen his highlights vs bury - the way he receives the ball in tight spaces and instinctively turns and places forward passes is a breath of fresh air.

steingmo · « **Reply #3009 on:** July 15, 2018, 11:33:03 am »

he's so good on the ball, great vision

cdav · « **Reply #3010 on:** July 19, 2018, 09:58:36 pm »

Cannot wait to see what he does to teams in the Prem, our team is going to be so good to watch

Managed to see him play tonight. Wow. He will be some player. Great vision and constantly pressing. Perfect klopp signing.

SteveLFC · « **Reply #3012 on:** July 19, 2018, 10:08:23 pm »

He was excellent tonight against Blackburn.. Passing was top notch and tackling also. His link up play with Robertson was also something that stood out for me, it was almost telepathic at times.

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #3013 on:** July 19, 2018, 10:08:45 pm »

Can’t help but not be excited by him.. All action hero, some lovely passes and good link up with Sturridge.

As if the opposition haven't had enough to think about with our front three then we unleash this beast on them, I almost feel sorry for them.

is there a way to extend his contract NOW?! the opposing players cant get close to him and they seem afraid to commit. the lads got shit load of confidence along with finesse, tenacity and skill. i may be a bit too excited but holy shit he' stands out!

soxfan · « **Reply #3018 on:** July 20, 2018, 12:36:56 pm »

He exudes arrogance, and I mean that in a good way.

He's going to f*** with whoever is in front of him on the pitch. Keita knows it. His opponent, poor soul, knows it. Everyone in the stands and watching on TV knows it.

I can't wait to see him torturing Pogba.

J-Mc- · « **Reply #3020 on:** July 20, 2018, 08:32:06 pm »

One thing i’ve noticed is he tends to knock the ball away right before being challenged. Means 9 times out of 10, he wins the free kick.

Very very quick footballing brain with the feet to match.

OOS · « **Reply #3021 on:** July 20, 2018, 09:31:22 pm »

He's a 360 player. No one can box him in. He happy to use both feet, can turn in tight spots, pick a pass and got a decent shot. He looks a natural in the middle of the park, and he's a upgrade on anyone we have that can play that role. his quick feet and turns will compliment the runs of our forwards. Can't wait to see him this season.

I tried to post this earlier but my favorite is the fake safe pass turn on a dime and start the attack. What we were told wee joe Allen could do

Quote

“I am someone who has this real winning mentality,” Keita said, having been escorted one of Anfield’s hospitality suites from Melwood following one of Klopp’s infamous double training sessions. “I have a huge desire to win. That is why I am aggressive in a positive sense on the field. My first mind-set when I am out on the field is to defend well and not concede. As a midfielder, when you have sealed things up at the back, my job is to provide the ammunition for the strikers and forwards, to create opportunities for them. Also, if I get a chance that comes my way, I want to take it and score. But I am a team player. I think about the team and the group always.”

Keita: “As a kid I used to play in the streets wearing a Liverpool shirt. It couldn’t be anyone else but Steven Gerrard when I played. I wanted to be like him.”

Now he wears his #8.

Maybe getting a little bit too far ahead of myself, but I think he could legitimately challenge De Bruyne as the best midfielder in the league next season. He's easily that talented. The only question was how long it takes him to settle in and adapt, and early signs are it won't take that long.

yeah, that's getting way to far ahead!

Let's just enjoy it and see him settle in and grow into the team.

Agreed.
I feel many are overlooking his skills goimg forward due to his exceptional defensive skills.
He'll be our Iniesta next season and I'm predicting he'll finish the season acknowledged by most as the best midfielder in the league.

The anticipation of watching him in a full competitive game in our shirt is becoming unbearable.

This lad is tremendous - I can't think of any other player in the League who does what he does.

Klopp Your Hands · « **Reply #3033 on:** July 21, 2018, 08:57:46 am »

His movement and style is so damn good to watch.
What came to mind during the Blackburn match was a Porsche purring around the pitch.

I don’t think there is a player like him in England, he’s gonna smash it for us I think.

thefieldsof.. · « **Reply #3034 on:** July 21, 2018, 09:43:03 am »

Give him player of the season already, is right Naby, lad.

This guy is gonna tear up the script. Unbelievable talent, midfield dynamo!
In all my 40 years, i've never-ever-ever been this excited for the up-coming season.
I'm quite literally stunned by just how good he is. How at home he looks out there, operating in a Liverpool midfield, already!
There won't be a long settling in period with Naby.. it's literally like a duck to water stuff. Like he just belongs there or something.

8,9,10,11 - Keita, Firmino, Mane, Salah. - Is the premiership ready for this?? Is the world even ready for this? Really??

Zlen · « **Reply #3035 on:** July 21, 2018, 10:08:38 am »

It is the mix of skills that leaves me drooling.
He is effectively like two class players, one a tenacious defensive destroyer, another a forward thinking dynamic pass maestro, rolled together and he is switching between them at will. Also there is something about him that reminds me of Luka Modrić, that bit after he gets the ball in busy places, where he deliberately starts the movement at slower pace and as soon as the tracking player follows he switches both the direction and speed in an insant. So simple and so effective. Whatever we achieve this season, Naby will be at the heart of it.

Guinean Modric.
