Naby KEITA: 2021/22

Thought he was quietly our best midfielder tonight and one of our best performers overall. Nice and complete performance with basically no big mistakes.

Very very good game from Naby lad.

None of our current midfielders carry the ball forward and drive counter attacks quite as well as Naby. They all have different qualities and Thiago, Fabinho and Hendo can all launch a long pass to kick start an attack, but none of them carry the ball much. It’s something Gini was very good at when he was at his best, and it’s nice to have one player in the midfield doing that part of the game.

The only knock I really have on Naby (outside of fitness) is he’s awful in the air. If he was half decent at that, he’d have two goals today to go with his assist.

Absolutely.
In certain situations that asset is massive. We signed a great player in Naby; and that player is becoming more evident as time progresses.

Good on him

Outstanding again.

He’s developing into a seriously good player. No need to doubt him anymore.

He came of age as a Liverpool player today

His last two performances weren’t that great, but he’s in a good moment overall. I love that he speaks more, looks hungry to prove himself in many aspects.

I am a big fan of Bobby’s goal celebration. But that love is tilting towards Naby just for his expression when he scores. Its like him saying, " Did you see what the F I just did?"

That midfield was something else, sorry Hendo but it was another level.

Would go toe to toe with any in the world.

I have probably been his harshest critic on here but I have to say the last few performances have been excellent and long May it continue!

Fantastic today, I think his only mistake was one stupid foul early in the second half. Did well in both directions. So calm and comfortable technically.

He’s had a pretty good season and to top it off injury free for the most part which is not something you associate him with.

Werid thing about Naby is I would have probably considered selling him at the start, I generally think we shouldn’t now.

Jamie Carragher on Naby Keita:

ā€œHe is the strangest player I’ve ever seen, I will watch him play and not be convinced, then I’ll go on Twitter and someone’s put some stats up.

ā€œAnd you think he almost ticks the boxes for all that if you’re crunching the numbers.

ā€œI know we do that on the TV and I know that’s how Liverpool look at players, I get all that, but no one can convince me that Keita’s been a success for Liverpool.

ā€œHe’s done well, he’s done ok, but he has one year to go, the club haven’t given him that new contract.

ā€œWhen everyone is fit it’s a toss-up as to whether or not he’s been in the first XI. Klopp has never consistently picked him.

ā€œHe’s done well, but it’s not what we thought we were getting.ā€

I wouldn’t be saying something like this right now as we might have news on contracts today or early next week that the club have chosen not to make public before today.

Carragher is saying all the wrong things at the wrong time. Legend.
