Naby Keita

[Buzzo]

Horrendous news for him. Puts a game of football in a fair bit of perspective.

His brother has died in a coach crash.

Jeez. Its tough losing a family member suddenly, especially a brother

[Buzzo]

Cousin not brother apparently.

Sounds horrendous. Brake failure.

According to the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, there were 27 people on board: 22 players, four backroom-team members and the driver.

Crash caused by brake failure, says club's manager

Speaking to Guineematin.com, Étoile de Guinée manager d'Abdourahmane Condé said: "We were going downhill when the coach's brakes suddenly gave way.

"There were three corners; the driver somehow managed to negotiate the first two, but there was nothing he could do about the third. He lost control of the vehicle and it crashed into a tree."

He’s not disappointing. We may have had too higher hopes than expected of him. Not surprising really judging by our track record.

Any LFC fan that is not disappointed by Keita so far at LFC is flat out lying

Almamy Keira (cousin) survived the crash, contrary to reports.

I hope his cousin is ok.

Conversely, Keita needs to ease off the brakes and get his game going again.

That's good news if true. Gone from brother dead, to cousin dead, to cousin survives

Well no, I’m not lying. I’ll be patient with him hoping he could live up to his obvious talent, but I’m not disappointed. If he doesn’t make it it’ll be a shame, but things don’t always pan out how you’d expect.

Disappointment is a strong word and I’ll leave it for if we don’t win the league type of situations.

[Mark79]

I’m disappointed at how things have gone for Keita and that it’s not been possible for him to play more.

I’m not at all disappointed at his level of performance when he has played though.

To you both.

Yep, the "he's been ****" stuff is really weird and usually comes after a rusty game after an injury spell where his whole time here gets rewritten. He was brilliant in that Salzburg, Leicester, Bournemouth spell, our best football of the season, think statsbomb done his league numbers and they were absolutely obscene.

Though of course obscene numbers aren't much use with a tiny sample size as he's never on the pitch enough to see if it can be the same long term (though going by his time in Germany it would be) but the idea he's been crap when he has played is not true at all.

Yep, the usual need for the scapegoat manifesting itself. Keita is next in line.

On the bench today.

he was brilliant in the away game vs Salzburg - he thrives in high transition games
