Naby Keita
Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita have felt like two sparkling new signings over the past week. Both have done perfectly well at times throughout this season, particularly the former, but Liverpool’s last two matches have been significant for the likeable pair. The wins over Southampton and Porto allowed the Reds to continue their winning streak, […]
Jurgen Klopp is bringing out a secret weapon at the business end of the season that every opposing manager sorta knew that he had, but he wasn’t using it, so maybe there was a problem with it… who knows. Point is, Southampton and Porto walk in the door and Klopp says, “say hello to my […]
Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk hailed Naby Keita as a “fantastic player” after another goalscoring performance from The Reds’ number eight. Keita had struggled to settle into Liverpool’s midfield since his arrival from the Bundesliga’s RB Leipzig last summer due to some below-par performances coupled with niggling injury concerns. However, the Guinean international has started […]
That could’ve been a lot better. But Liverpool are still in command of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie against Porto, after a 2-0 win at Anfield in the first leg. The Reds were superb in the opening exchanges, with Naby Keita opening the scoring via a lucky deflection off Otavio. Roberto Firmino capped off […]
A good midfield performance, no away goals conceded and one foot into the last four. Pretty much all Jurgen Klopp could have asked for as Liverpool defeated Porto 2-0 in their Champions League quarter final first leg. Naby Keita opened the scoring via aid of a deflection early on before Roberto Firmino tapped in a […]
Rarely do you see a Champions League quarter-final look so routine. There wasn’t the rip-roaring freneticism of an emphatic win, nor a compilation of keepy-ups from Mohamed Salah to be played back for the rest of time this time round as there was in Portugal last year, but Liverpool once again took control over their […]
Another week, another Liverpool game that ages supporters approximately 20 years in the space of 90 minutes. There’s doing things the hard way and then there’s the Reds. Friday’s memorable 3-1 win at Southampton was the latest title statement from Jurgen Klopp’s men, in a season that continues to defy belief in terms of consistency, […]
It was nervy. The tension was rattling. It was not a nice feeling. With time dwindling, Liverpool had little margin for error. Liverpool didn’t err. The tension was broken through. The nerves were all settled. From the South Coast, the Reds will head back to Merseyside with three points. Here are the key observations from […]
It was unconvincing, it was last-ditch, it was downright exhausting, but crucially for Liverpool, it was victory. They are back on top of the Premier League with their rivals’ fixtures about to get significantly tougher. The performance, it has to be said, wasn’t good. But Liverpool won this game thanks to a big call from […]
Hold me closer little dancer, Count the headlights on the highway, Lay me down in sheets of linen, You’ve had a busy day today. How much did Liverpool need Mo Salah to score that goal? How much did Naby Keita need to come through like that? How much did Jordan Henderson need to grab the […]
