Naby Keita

[magicrat]

Looked a different player tonight. Funny he should do that on wet night at Turf Moor but a real glimpse of the guy Klopp went a long way to sign was clearly visible. Looking forward to more. 

[Tj hooker]

Played very well tonight some lovely touches and a nice turn of pace very unlucky to not get on the scoresheet with the wonderful run and shot which Hart turned onto the post , definitely a player in there 

[Carvalho Diablo]

I'm gonna moonwalk over some Ready Salted crisps. 

[The Guest]

You could just tell about 2 mins in he was up for it.  He wasn’t just passing it quickly and taking the easy option.  Some of his passing in and around the box was fantastic.  I’d give him MoM but Van Dijk was just unreal again and he did go out of it for about 20 mins in the second half.

[TheBitch]

His touch takes it away from players and immediately creates space for himself. Sign of a very good player, that.

 

Hopefully today is a springboard for him, because, we're gonna need every single little advantage and player on top form to keep up with, and eventually overhaul those fucking oil cheats.

[Em City]

Baller.

[LFC 6 Times]

Now there’s the player we knew we were signing. Had the sense of something was going to happen everytime he got the ball, love the way he carries the ball. I expect to see us look a lot more fluent offensively with his integration into the side, he’ll be the key link between midfield and attack, I would also expect a sharp upturn in Firmino’s performance levels as a consequence.

Yep, he could be a genuine point of difference from here on. He could also get the front 3 firing a bit more too. 

 

Looking over at City, would De Bruyne make them much better right now, or would he simply replace one of their other mids already playing at a high level? Obviously he is a brilliant option to rotate, but overall they're fucking flying.

Fuck off, mark coulter.

The difference in having a midfielder that looks to pick the ball up and drive at the opposition and not just look for the simple pass. Been crying out for that sort of player since Gerrard was still at his peak. Chamberlain showed a bit of it in the tail end of last season and we looked a far betrer side for it

Can he do it on a cold winter night in Burnley!?  course he can. 

 

Think we’re starting to get a real taste of his abilities. We want more ... we want to taste all of him! Give it to us, Naby!

I agree best game he has had for us so far and I think he has a lot more to offer.

[VladimirIlyich]

Best game for us by far, I didn't realise how small he was though. He looks like a talented kid having a kick around with adults.

If this was a post in the breakfast thread, I've have scored this -10/10. 

The cringe in this post is equiv. to sitting next to your nan at Christmas and wondering why the couch has suddenly become wet. Terrible post in full and one Ginny will be disappointed when looking back on this. 

[etho]

Now he's fit, I think it's time to just play him. We know he has the attributes our midfield has missed without Ox, so go back to 4-3-3 and play him.

One of Henderson or Fabinho plays at the base, and Milner and Wijnaldum take it in turns to play alongside him.

 

 

[TheHowieLama]

Wiji plays at the base and Milner and Shaq play ahead.

[Ginny]

Seeing clips of Naby megging a couple of Bournemouth players doing the rounds. Can anyone who knows how to do computers GIF that shit? 

[VladimirIlyich]

Looking like the player we signed now. Two excellent games this week.

[Red74]

Can’t remember seeing him after he done those megs 

[Captain Howdy]

Started very brightly but faded, I think it may even be next season till we see the best of him he seems to be one of those players who takes a long time to settle, of the two big midfield summer buys Fabinho looks the better signing so far. I’d never seen him in Germany is he playing in the same position?

What? He's been ace in his last two games and he is capable of much better too.

He was good against Burnley but apart from a few good dribbles yesterday, he wasn't much of an influence, though that was because he was being played out of position.

[Captain Howdy]

I think he’s done quite well I wouldn’t say ace, I’m sure there is more to come.
