OPINION
Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita certainly seems to be rounding into form, doesn’t he? The Guinean struggled to adapt somewhat during his debut season in English football, while injuries have hampered his progress this time round, as well. However, he now looks like he is very much up to speed, after starring in the Reds’ 2-0 victory over Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday. The 24-year-old was the man who broke the deadlock, cushioning home a header after Sadio Mane dinked the ball into the box. It’s fantastic to see Keita now finding his feet, as he’s got two goals in two games. He was the livewire throughout this crunch Champions League contest, always looking to make things happen. He wasn’t always successful, and he missed a great chance before his goal, but he gives Jurgen Klopp’s team something a bit different in the middle of the park. Let’s hope he can stay fit now and keep this run of form going throughout the rest of the campaign.

Salah & Keita link up play is a thing of beauty. Please just finish one in the 2nd half mates. 45 to go #SALLIV

Thought Keita looks brilliant! Salah needs to fix up tho, should be 0-2!

Keita's dribbling is filthy. Just glides past defenders.

Keita in this set up is just what the doctor ordered. His calmness in possession is something we have definitely missed.
