Seems it’s an illness.
Keita didn’t play, because he had a ‘niggle’? How long was he on the pitch against City?? We won’t see him for two months now.
The Boss only said that Keita was ill, Curtis had a knock but not an impact injury.

I thought that the Boss ruled Keita out of the Fulham’s match as well.

We have 9 days and 6 hours between the Fulham and the Palace game.
I wonder if there is still the plan for another friendly after all the ‘injuries’.

FFS the reaction by some is mental.we started with 5 senior players
Konate, Gomez, Milner, Elliot and Carvalho.
Of those 5, 2 are not senior, Gomez doesnt play regularly enough to make
A massive impact and then there a Milner and Konate.
This lot finished 6th in Lihue Un.
Course they should beat us with that team. Aim of the game was to give players minutes.

We are going to spend the next 9 months hand wringing over injuries and complaining that we should have signed Bellingham for £100m - while putting up 90+ points and winning the Champions League aren’t we?

I’m going off that article.
Official suggests he is not doubtful. It certainly says he is Ill in that mind.
Works for me…

Want the league not 90 points 
Beaten by iceberg or w/e they are called.
Klopp should consider his position.
Bring in Wally with a Brolly.
Don’t some do that every year?
Not too sure why this season would be aby different

taking the odd break to complain about only beating the Mancs 5-0 and what that could mean to our Goal difference…

Or spending twenty of the 90 minutes during the match typing shit about our players…
BTW, we should have went for 6 or 7 vs the Mancs!!

FFS even after Ox injury and assuming Jones and Keita are out (though they will be both probably available for Fulham already), we have 5 senior midfielders at our disposal + Carvalho can feature as an offensive no. 8 if needed + the likes of Bajcetic and Morton. We should be fine for the season (surely in August as we only play one game a week on average).
The only position that concers me slightly is no. 6 with Fab and Hendo only options there. Sure, Milner (or Bajcetic) can do the job there in cup games, but I would not really trust him there against a decent PL or CL side. Fab and Hendo were our two most (over)used midfielders last season and we all know Hendo plays a large chunk of minutes as RCM. Maybe Hendo will play a little less as RCM this season (as we have more options for that position) and more minutes as no. 6?
Shouldve sold Ox before pre-season started. Complete waste of time.
I feel for him but hes broke. Some players just are.
Keitas another one. Try and move on and bring players that can get on the pitch. Dont offer him a new deal!
I know anyone can get injured at any time but these 2 get injured waking up in the morning.

Keita is ill, not injured.

We would have needed a decent offer first. And he would have needed to accept it. Oh and Klopp would have had to be the kind of manager to bomb players out.
But apart from that totally agree.
