Liverpool vs KRC Genk - Champions League (Group Game 4)

[Phoenix07]

I guess I'm in the minority who thought Keita was excellent.

His movement and ability off the ball were what caught my eye. You could clearly see what he can bring in terms of penetration both of passes, and gliding into space, and I think the reason he faded in the second half was because of his fitness. He was ****ed in the second half. With two/three games a week, he should be starting once a week, and we'll finally be able to see whether he has a long term future here.

I thought he was pretty good. Not spectacular, but our midfielders generally aren't spectacular.

Is he pushing to be an automatic starter? Not yet.

Will he get lots of game time? Absolutely. Midfield is heavily rotated so he'll be needed.

As long as he can shake off his injury niggles.

I watched back the mini-match (24 minute highlights package) and I thought Keita looked good if not spectacular. You could see his brain working angles and rotating the ball if nothing was on.

I loved the little 'nick the ball challenge' and the subsequent embarrassed rage from the player that just lost it

Keita looks like he's done after about an hour - don't know if its due to lack of match sharpness or injury but he fades badly in games at the moment.
