Isn't that the key word? Was he injured prior to his "current" injury? He is a 23 abi 24 year old in his first season in the EPL. He will be fine.maceo4 wrote:His current injury happened on International duty last month on 10/16 vs Rwanda so I'm not sure why y'all are making it sound like he's been injured the whole season.
I feel you guys are making excuses, he may come good in the future but injuries are not the reason he's not lived up to the hype yet. Wilnaljdums (sp) form is probably more of a valid reason why he hadn't gotten PT, and when he's played he has looked rather ordinary. The hype was a little too much on CE, hopefully he can live up to it at some point...metalalloy wrote:Isn't that the key word? Was he injured prior to his "current" injury?

The hype was a lot everywhere because he is an excellent player. Stating that he has had some injury issues is a fact and not an excuse. He was hurt against Napoli, and hurt again for Guinea. Those are facts. It take a while to come back from injuries and get match fit again.maceo4 wrote:I feel you guys are making excuses, he may come good in the future but injuries are not the reason he's not lived up to the hype yet.

Mba, I disagree with your last sentence. Like you said he's featured in 9 out of 13 matches (more than enough to show glimpses of your ability), 8 of those were before he got any injury and he didn't look special in them. So why are you making injury such a main factor? Maybe he hasn't acclimatized I can definitely rock with that. But we never once saw a glimpse of the hype before he got any injury, that's my issue with that train of thought. Not that injuries aren't a fact, but I would understand your argument if the case was he was balling before getting injured and now that he's on the mend he's taking time to get back to his previous form. That's simply not the case...lets just agree he hasn't yet acclimatized and leave injury talk out of it.metalalloy wrote:The hype was a lot everywhere because he is an excellent player.

We are only 13 games into the epl season. He has featured in 9 games of which he played 90 minutes once. I agree that he hasn't been the world class transformer that people hyped him to be yet, but that was unrealistic. Even a gem like David Silva took at least 6 months to show what he could do at City. I don't think Wijnaldum is the reason why he isn't playing as i highly suspect both of them will feature if everyone is available and healthy at the same time. It has more to do with Keita's injuries and his gradual acclimatization to the EPL.

I never said he was a bad player or has shown to be a bad player, but he has not hit those heights in comparison to the hype before he came. Yes he's been steady or 'faultless', but he hasn't been as much of a difference maker as of yet. I hope he gets there. But let me give you example of the CE hype, there was a post of the combined best players from Liverpool and City and some people were saying they would pick Naby over Fernandinho. I was quite shocked like what exactly have they seen from Naby in his few games that matches the consistent and great play we've seen from Fernandinho over the years? The hype kinda tainted my view b/c he looks like just a good/steady player not a special one. But we will see in due time sha.metalalloy wrote:maceo4 wrote:Mba, I disagree with your last sentence.

LOL cmon man! I can easily give you two. This was the report from his very first game for Liverpool

He also got a good report against Chelsea the only other time he played 90 mins in the cup game.

He started off brightly and cooled down a bit before he got injured. To say he hasnt showed any glimpse of the hype is just false.
Monitored the game, Burnley's 1st goal was offside...and the ref was permitting blatant rugby tackles by Burnley players...txj wrote:MOM performance at Turf Moor against those thugs from Burnley...
The goal was clearly offsides; plus Allison was fouled when the ball was kicked off his hands.FATHER TIKO wrote:Monitored the game, Burnley's 1st goal was offside...and the ref was permitting blatant rugby tackles by Burnley players...txj wrote:MOM performance at Turf Moor against those thugs from Burnley...
Saw Sean Dyches mouthing off at Klopp at the end (probably for the German constantly moaning at the 4th official all game)...Dyches is everything wrong with the English game...So Klopp shouldn't protest when Dyches' players were constantly committing atrocities...
Burnley weren't playing anything called football...
Dyches didn't need to resort to raw savagery to stop Liverpool playing...
Was pure quality... looked more confident.. knitted the midfield together... carried the ball forwards regularly (as opposed to Ginni who is scared to turn and run towards the opponents goal!)... was a goal threat etctxj wrote:MOM performance at Turf Moor against those thugs from Burnley...
Anyone doubting Keita's quality knows nothing about football...icee wrote:Naby checked off everything on the hype and scout list today. Interceptions, driving the ball forward, gliding past tackles and opponents, passing , box-to-box, shots on goal - everything. I expect him to displace Gini and/or Hendo and start the next CL game. He showed why he was hyped today. Dude just needs to play his game cos he has IT
