It's really interesting to watch Keita at the moment because it feels like he's super reigned in offensively when he's 'in front' of the opposition. Very rarely attempts to beat the press, very cautious about driving forward with the ball. This is different to how he has sometimes played for us. At the same time he looks totally in sync when it comes to shape, pressing and counter pressing. On a few occasions he did receive the ball on the half turn and was able to move forward a bit more purposively inside Arsenal's shape but Fabinho and Gini (again, reigned in like he was) were very cautious about playing those passes.
It feels a little like Klopp is happy with the managed risk of a high press and a high defensive line but isn't happy with the added managed risk of his 3 CMs attempting to beat the opposition press either through ball carrying or progressive passing. This is no surprise to me with certain midfield 3s, because players picked don't have the skillset (or as much of the skillset) to play sharp progressive passes down the middle, receive the ball on the half turn, or move through a press by ball carrying. But it is more of a surprise when the midfield 3 definitely do have the skillset required.
