OPINION
Even when their side is flying high at the Premier League summit on the back of their best-ever start to a campaign, despite the competition of a truly outstanding Manchester City fans, some fans find things to moan about. One of those during and after the team produced another excellent performance to beat Wolves 2-0 at Molineux on Friday night was the form of Naby Keita. The summer signing was named in the league starting XI for a fourth consecutive match as Jurgen Klopp once again fielded the 4-2-3-1 formation that he has adopted over recent weeks. In this system, Mohamed Salah spearheads the attack, with Roberto Firmino behind him, Sadio Mane on the right and Keita on the left. Keita was industrious and linked up well with his teammates at times, if not playing as well as his superlative recent display at Bournemouth. Those fans hammering him, especially as he was playing out of position on the left, were being harsh, to say the very least. There is no pleasing some folk.

Fabinho and Keita been awful today. Yes, conditions don't help, but giving ball away frivolously.

Devastated that Keita’s a fraud.

Yeah we've been mugged. Keita a 55yo fraud with a broken back and an unfit heart FFS

Brilliant for the first goal, but Fabinho’s been really sloppy tonight. Between him & Keita, it’s increasingly clear why Klopp likes to go with the Henderson-Milner-Wijnaldum triumvirate against the more “industrial” teams.

Keita is injured again, these injuries are getting too much for goodness sake, but why is Keita always sustaining injuries

Naby Keita excels in a midfield 3. Looks lost out wide on the left.. not sure why Klopp keeps doing it.
