I have a question for ED01, what is your verdict on Fabinho and Keita? Do you think they will come through for us THIS SEASON?

{Ed001's Note - yes.}

Agree with you Ed, Keita is an unbelievable player he just needs to get settled and once he does we're laughing. Same goes for Fabinho.

I hope Ed is right. I think both are pivotal to us achieving success, that and our front 3, particularly Firmino, capturing last years form.

It would be ingeresting to see how many games liverpools regular front 3 and man citys regular front 3 have played over last 12 months, our guys look a shaddow of their selves last year.

I don't like to criticise our players without really seeing too much of them. But for me Keita always seems to go a bit missing in games. The few games I watched from him at Leipzig last year was the same as well. He clearly has the talent but just needs to assert himself more. Other than the run and pass to Robertson against West ham I can't really remember what he has done in the 10 or so games he has played.

Schents, the reason you can't remember what Keita has done is cos a) he has not been playing b) he is still adapting and c) he has not played up to 10 games.

Seriously, Keita and Fab have just got here and it's a shame Keita is injured and Fab is still bedding in. The injuries have staunted Keita's ability to adapt to the Klopp style and the pace of the PL so to say "Keita goes missing in games" is unfair and very harsh, IMO. You have to be patient with these players and give them a chance to produce, just like we did with Ox, Salah, Robbo, etc. If we don't show them patience then, we don't deserve the type of players you want them to be.

We had 3 players come back injured from the last round of internationals. Keita - hasn't played since, Mane - still wearing a cast on a broken hand, Salah who picked up a muscle problem and maybe this is still affecting him some way. After a long 2017/ 18 season, then the world cup players are bound to be a little stale - and then have to travel all over the world for meaningless friendlies.

It will take Keita at least 5/ 6 games to get upto speed when he does finally get selected, and the same with Fab. A lot of patience still needed I think.

Oh, and guess what - yet another international break coming up!
