Naby Keita

[SB]

Ha. Possibly. I'd just banked on us ending the drought this year and finally getting that monkey off our backs. Personally I was hoping it would be a welcome distraction from events in my personal life. I've invested a lot of emotion and energy willing us for nearly 30 years to get the elusive title. There is nothing i would want to cheer more. Forget the end of wars, peace, droughts, brexit and the likes. It's a Liverpool premier league title. Everything else is secondary. So forgive me if I'm gutted it's all falling apart as per usual.

Hope your personal life & our form is on the up.

Know the feeling Bob, 30 ****ing years i was 18 when we last won it.

Dejavu feeling , wish it wasn't there

Great that we are competing and all that , but we need this

[Saveloy]

I can't help but feel the player we thought we were getting is the missing piece of the midfield jigsaw and had he hit the ground running then we'd be flying.

Not Naby's fault and I reckon he'll come good but it's galling that it's midfield, and particularly the lack of penetration, that seems have been our issue in the second half of the season and it's the part of the team we spent **** loads on in the summer to strengthen.

Personally I think the missing piece was the player we didnt get... Fekir

We lack goals and creativity from midfield

Aye, just mentioned that in another thread earlier!

[Lecter]

Aye, just mentioned that in another thread earlier!

The plus side I suppose is at least Klopp has identified the player or type of player we need

Definitely, am sure Klopp will go all out this summer to get similar...Bruno Fernandes at Sporting is worth a look!

I mentioned it days ago

Klopp is well aware of the missing piece. It's no coincidence that we wanted Fabinho, Keita and Fekir for our midfield. I've never bought into the idea that it was Fekir or Shaqiri either.

Imagine having a fully fit Oxlade-Chamberlain too.

goals from midfield + excellent set piece delivery. He's got 20+ goals already this season in a poor Sporting side.

[greenturnip]

A young Steven Gerrard wouldn't go amiss in our midfield!

[Fosterbloke]

De Jong (if it were possible) would make a world of difference.

[Pablo]

De Jong (if it were possible) would make a world of difference.

Yeah, shame he's already signed for Barca. What a player he is.

[kingfunk]

First season blues, think he will be way better next season.

[baitman]

Yeh, no rush. We've got all the time in the world.

[Norbs]

Yeh, no rush. We've got all the time in the world.

Yeah, leave poor Baby K alone, he's only earning £5m+ as he finds his feet
