How interesting are those individual stats that are being used to defend Keita? He is a good player, so not against defending him, but I'm against how stats are being used to do so. The whole point of Liverpool under Klopp is how each individual part of the team combine together to produce something much better than the sum of its parts (it's not as if Henderson and Wijnaldum will go into football history as brilliant individual players, but for us they are). And the problem with Keita, to the extent there is a problem, is that he's a very good footballer who's so far not quite in sync with what the rest of the team are doing. There won't be any stats to measure the 'in sync' part anytime soon.

He's been in sync when he's played consecutive amount of games. he's not in sync when he's injured and coming back into the side.

There are numerous examples of him having consistent good performances but people chose to ignore it for whatever reason

Gets injured, doesn't play, gets fit, gets back in the squad, improves in games, gets injured. Hes a great player. Definitely get behind the lad.

Keita is brilliant. They are all brilliant. Fucking Jones is brilliant. It's not being rose-tinted (though there's nothing wrong with that if you're a Liverpool supporter) this team for the last year has been beyond sensational. And Keita, when he's not been injured, has been there with the rest of them.

Once the title's wrapped up we as a team will be in a unique position to experiment for the rest of the season. Different tactics, different set ups. I can see players like Naby and Takumi really benefiting from it. We can play games against teams still highly motivated to avoid relegation or break into the top 4 without anything riding on our result other than possible records.

It's a real luxury that teams never really get, even in preseason when the games are basically training exercises.

Me too. An in form Keita with rhythm is potentially key to us beating Atletico and and this team becoming less reliant on the full backs for creativity.

Injured again. Shades of Sturridge here. His susceptibility to niggling injuries make you wonder about if has the robustness to play in the Premier League. Such a shame as he is the one player not consistently starting that can take this team to an even higher level

Terribly disappointing. With 10 weeks remaining in the season his overal contribution so far has been minor.

Zoomers · « **Reply #8133 on:** February 29, 2020, 04:48:07 pm »

We might have to cut our losses in the summer, you just can't depend on him.

OneTouchFooty · « **Reply #8134 on:** February 29, 2020, 04:52:24 pm »

Yeah he's almost done here. Fantastic talent but can't string more than 3 games together without pulling up lame.

I'm sure that would have crossed the mind of those on the Transfer Committee but I given that we'd more than likely make a loss if he was to be sold I doubt that happens. Perhaps he hasn't recovered from his injury when playing for Guinea. Next season he should have no more excuses with a clear pre season- perform consistently or face being sold.

I saw him post about it on social media, but it didn't strike me as if he knew people on the bus. A massive tragedy either way.

Need to try and give the lad a lift at Bournemouth, even if he isn’t there, give his name a chant and hopefully help him deal with this tragedy.

RIP.

It's social media fever, everyone wants to be first to break news and declare things, even supposedly respected organisations. Guns get jumped on a routine basis.

Why people can't just wait until the full facts are out I don't know.

There should be a basis to sue whoever spread the fake news in the first place. Would at least make people double check before posting made up stories in the first place.
