Naby Keita

[topscorer]

A tactical switch after 43 mins???...do me a favour!...Feel for the player as Klopp could have done that switch at halftime & spared the embarrassment/awkwardness!

Definitely no need to make him scapegoat on SM so ****ing mindless morons, YNWA Naby!

No need for me to make an analysis on certain players last night as they were mentioned in above so I agree with most of them. Mane should have been taken off, not Jota but was Jota taken off as a precaution?...That cunt Lucas almost cut him in half early in the 2nd half.

There's always going to be a few morons spouting vitriol and abuse, it's not right but thankfully it's a minority.

Regarding Keita as a LFC player, excuses have ran out. No doubt in my mind that he will be sold this summer as we need an overhaul. Get rid of the injury prone and players that are just not providing value for money. Keita unfortunately is both and we can use his sale to fund players that will actually make a difference.

We'll be lucky to get £20m for him at the moment and hauling him off 2 minutes before half time won't make Edward's job any easier.

I hope he’s sold in the summer- and not just on the back of last nights performance- I’ve been saying it for a while that the likes of Keita, origi, ox, etc need to be phased out. Overpaid bench warmers that have done very little, when we actually need them to deliver...

Also I think klopp really dropped the ball last night, by starting him. Putting any player in for his first game back, in the biggest game of the season would be risky- putting in a hot and cold player like Keita is a stupid risk to take imo. Also could tell it wasn’t working after 5 min! I’d have liked to have seen him hooked after 25 min, given that we have 5 subs. It was clear that it wasn’t working, and their midfield was having a field day- the goals were a matter of time..

Whilst I agree that we have far too many sicknotes who are not able to put in a decent performance when called upon... or can stay fit longer than two games in a row... I think there's bugger all chance of all three of them being moved on in the summer.

Most clubs will have small transfer budgets due to the pandemic impact commercially and unless we're desperate to get rid and off the wage bill, we'll lose big money compared to outlay.

If we are putting together a list of 'sicknotes' or just not able to make an impact when they come on, or have been loaned out endlessly... the list would be huge, including some recent signings who have never made much of a dent in the matchday squads...

Keita, Ox, Shaqiri, Origi, Adrian, Woodburn, Minamino, Grujic, Karius, Ojo, Wilson, Van Den Berg, Matip, Tsimikas, Davies, N. Williams, R. Williams, Phillips (assuming we buy Kabak and another CB), and probably a couple of others I've forgotten about... it's a long list!

How many of these will be moved on in summer...??

Apart from the last 5 surely you'd want to offload all of them. Their value isn't likely to go up from now on and they are getting paid for very little. Waiting for a better price doesn't feel like an option, paying their wages for another year doesn't make sense.

definitely going to take a hit. I reckon we'll loan him out back to Germany somewhere. Hopefully have a good season and maybe teams get back on their feet after covid and make some cash back on him.

Whatever you might think about the likes of Ox, Keita, Shaq, Origi, Adrian, Minamino and Matip they represent about a quarter of our senior squad and our squad isn't excessively large, you would probably need to replace them with at least 4 other players from somewhere that's still a significant overhaul. That's before you consider Wijnaldum leaving and needing to be replaced and any other business we want or need to do concerning the first team. I just don't see that many players plus the likes of Wilson, Grujic etc all being moved on in a single window.

I'd be surprised if we did offload them all because it's a lot of work to undertake. But looking at that list you'd want to replace them if you could - Ox and Matip because of their injuries, if you're bringing the others on something has gone horribly wrong. Maybe I'm being a bit tight on Shaq there. You're right though, that is a serious overhaul.

It would be really galling to see him move on, stay fit and be brilliant somewhere else, but it's probably time he moved on.

We've been linked with Harvey Barnes quite heavily, and Tielemans would be a great signing imo....so maybe we could get something done with them.

Yeah Keita is done here imo, been a disaster signing. Tielemans is a great shout imo, such a good player.

Yep, effectively replacing Naby & Gini with one move here!...would be priced out of a move though!

[kev776]

I don't know if this is true but from some random on twitter:

In the last 3 seasons, due to an injury, Naby Keita missed 2 games more than Henderson and 7 than Fabinho
