Naby Keita: "If a genie would grant you three wishes... I wish for health, becoming the best African football player and playing for Barca."

The Leipzig GM apparently said Barca were interested in him, but didn't push for his signing as hard as Liverpool.

I can see this guy has talent, looks fancy, close control and all that but there's no denying he's been an absolute flop so far. I thought he was gonna hit the ground running, how wrong I was.

Not quick nor strong enough, or clever enough on the ball... Klopp has got work to do on him. At least Fabinho has been a monster after the first few months.

Liverpool fans were claiming he was going to be what Pogba should be and how he was a superior player already. Early days still however and he should still come good as you said the talent is there.

Yeah Keita has a lot of work to do. Not yet ready for the physicality of the EPL and not quite the explosive athlete anticipated. Fabinho, the most unheralded of the new EPL central midfielders (with Keita, Fred and Jorginho)--so far looks by far the best acquisition.

He had a decent first few games, to be fair. It happens often. Sometimes players hit the ground running and then stall midway. Klopp will most likely help him find his form again. Lets not forget that it wasn't that long ago when people were putting Fabinho in the "flop" category.

 

[Trafalgar]

This guys turning into a flop lol

 

[xXKonan]

He has talent but doesn't seem like he's adapted to the demands of the EPL quite yet.

 

[Devils]

lol I knew this guy was flop from the start.

He's so average it's incredible.

 

[Givenchy]

like Bakayoko, this was a bullet well dodged for teams interested in him

 

[DonAK]

No big deal. He'll come good next season. He has obvious talent and shows it from moment to moment.

Not every player will adapt the first season, especially to managers like Klopp and Pep who demand a lot from their players.

 

[BigBarcaBoy]

Once he gets a defined role he will be excellent
