Are you suggesting that four league starts isn’t enough to throw away the key?

I would give him 2 more then off to Southampton on loan.

Exactly where he should have been before we bought him.

Would have made sense.

Baby Keith, only you can save us now

Naby Keita completed more dribbles in the last 20 minutes against PSG, than Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Gini Wijnaldum managed all game.

 

 

[SasaS]

One?

Hope he starts against Everton

I just took a look - we are not good at this dribbling thing

Some on here are experts.

Unleash him and Shaqiri vs Everton with Wijnaldum behind. Eventually Fabinho for Wijnaldum. 

 

Garlic bread.

I agree, might as well start the trio vs a shit team so they don't have much pressure on them.

Much as we would wish it otherwise they are not shit.  They will be up for this and unless we shake off the effects of last night we will be in trouble. Klopp needs to get them fired up.

Who is Kieta? Have we bought the wrong player?

We've all been pining for the 4-3-3 this season so the front three can click like last season, but it's just not working. Our results are massively worse than they've been playing a 4-2-3-1, even though that formation hasn't looked as exciting.

 

I'd go with Fabinho and Keita in a 2, then add Shaqiri to the regular front 3 in front of them. I'm pretty sure Klopp won't do that, but it's what I'd do if it were up to me.

Very slow start to his time here, probably accentuated by the fact we signed him the summer of last season and the hype the built everyone, including myself expected him to hit the ground running. But you can see flashes of his brilliance, anybody that good at dribbling which is the most difficult art in the game is a real player, he’ll be fine. Firmino was fucking shite for his first 4 months here.

Problem is Firmino is regularly fucking shite a lot of the time.

Yeah, I'm sure we'll all look back on Firmino's time at the club as a failure. Good call there.

Do you agree he's dropped down a level this season? If so, what do you think is the reason (in before it's the midfield)?

Objectively, he hasn't looked very good this season. Besides the fact that most of the time he's the team's lone creative player and can't handle that burden (unless Shaqiri is on the pitch), I think he's tired. He's played so much football these past three years and he runs so much, people forget. 

 

I think we'll buy someone who can credibly play up front next summer for a lot of money which will allow Klopp to rest him at times without a change in the style of play and then also allow us to play him in behind. Fekir would've been that guy.

You have a point about tiredness, hope it's not an attitude issue. We seem to press less this season which nullifies some of Firmino's strengths. Hopefully it's Klopp pacing the team to peak later in the season.

 

[TheHowieLama]

His strength is running the channels and leading the line on the press -- we have been content to stifle teams and leave Salah up top a little more isolated. 

 

At our best, hen Firmino is in the middle it seems like Mane and Salah are alot closer to him (and each other) than we have been in a 4231.

[TheHowieLama]

Don't be shite Naby.
