A fitness expert said in a podcast that given his age and accumulation of injuries we shouldn't be looking to play Henderson more than one game a week and if we make Europe (likely UEFA) I'd want that one game a week to be in the league. So you may see more Keita in Europe (if we qualify) than the league.
The Test is obviously right
Always tries the forward pass. Very direct. Something we've missed during our dismal run.
he needs to start.
I'm glad it sounds like Keita is going to be held back from joining his international team. I think a lot of Keita's injury problems can be attributed to his international team disregarding Keita just returning from injury to overplay him making the injury worse.
Fantastic news if true.His current and previous national team managers are from the Hodgson "I'm going to test his resolve" coaching school.
Keita has the potential to be the best midfielder at this club, would certainly want him st eating more than 10 games in the league in an ideal world, even if those games come at the cost of our captain or another midfielder.
Yep.Yep.
David Platt has a face like a Michael Myers mask being stretched over a dinosaur egg.
Aquilani is better than Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Messi and Beckenbauer put together.
So he's going for just long enough to get injured. Tremendous news.

Was there an injury tonight? Or was it tactical?
injury - he came off before the half.
I don't know. He seemed fine walking off and he was shockingly bad, I think personally Klopp was hammering home a point. He and Klopp didn't acknowledge each other on the touchline when he came off.But you know, someone will tell me some pointless stats about how he was actually really good.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone came up with stats to show he was better than Gini or Fab in that first half. That said they were woeful.I expect he's injured though. He has sturridge syndrome.
I said in the half time thread that Gini and Fab have credit in the bank for what they've done for us on the big stage, Keita hasn't. So in terms of trust, rank and seniority he was always going to be the one to make way.
