Keita: I am fit again and would love to be involved 

Get your boots on and put in a shift 

Naby love, nobody gives a flying fuck about your mindset or your fitness. Nobody will care if you have a face like a slapped arse and get subbed after 60 minutes coz you're knackered, as long as you bring skill, composure and tenacity. Inspire, compete, complete useful passes and if you're not setting up others to score, knock in some yourself. 

Don't try to raise your game. 

I don't actually mind that this interview is out there, whether he volunteered more info than a player usually would, or someone at the club (Klopp?) encouraged him to open up a bit about his situation. 

Either way, these comments definitely increase the pressure on him to start performing, which suggests the level of expectation on this guy has reached a 'put up or shut up' stage. 

That said, I don't think it'd have been done if there wasn't genuine belief that he could rise to the challenge. 

I’m a huge fan and defender of Keita, but now is the time. 

He will be getting his chance very soon and its up to him to take it. Less talk and more action,as they say in the porn business.

We could really, really do with him being the top notch player he was in Germany.

I know mate, what a player that is. He has had injury disruptions and a tough settling in period but he needs to be at his mate like now.

Despite what people say he is not weak or lacking heart. That said I don’t know what is going on, we have seen flashes but not enough. Come on Naby.

He needs to start getting on the pitch first.   It's absolutely baffling seeing Lallana ahead of him.

For me, he was as much of a sure thing as you’re likely to get. We need to make sure we use him in the right way, and he needs to make sure he ups his game.

This mate. He was running games for fun in Germany, I know before anyone says that he hasn’t here yet. He is more than capable and needs to show it ASAP.

I’d have bet the house that it’s have been Keita not Fabinho that was the more important player. Need him to step up. Actually, Mo and Firmino both need a great second half of the season too. We’ve got a hell of a chance. 
 

My mind has given up on him, but my heart still holds a hope.

He's not getting in the side ahead of Chambo after his performance yesterday nor Gini and Hendo.

It's a catch 22 situation for Naby, he needs to be given a run to show what he can do but his injuries and form todate, dont give Jurgen the trust to play him right now. Shaqiri's in the same position.

The best the pair of them can hope for is a sub appearance or two this side of New Year and a run out in the World Champs.

All the players looked drained again yesterday which is not surprising considering the effort they had to put in against Villa, Palace, city and Napoli. I dont think its a surprise that all the PL teams yesterday who played in the CL looked jaded in their games against teams who didnt play midweek. Even spurs nearly threw away a 3-0 lead.

I trust Klopp on that one and if he trusts Lallana more than Keita atm then there’s obviously something not right with the fella

So do I but there's clearly something more going on than form when he's fallen behind Lallana.

Maybe it's his  attitude . Been rumours 

He'll have probably fallen ill again by next weekend, he needs to stop hanging out with Lallana.

Come and get me plea -- to Leipzig

Klopp absolutely loves Lallana. Have you lads been asleep for the past 3 years?
 

There will be plenty of game time for everyone, Keita will show his worth

In your world Borini and Allen are still top class players. 

Anyone that falls behind Lallana in the pecking order is clearly showing less than fuck all.
