Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to criticise Naby Keita for his performance against West Ham United at Anfield.
This comes after the midfielder played his part in the Reds’ 3-2 win over David Moyes’ side to regain their 22-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
Did Keita have a good game against West Ham?
Yes
No
Despite the win, Keita’s performance in the match gathered a lot of negative attention from Liverpool fans who were eager to share their criticisms of the midfielder on Twitter.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans slating Keita, who was signed by Jurgen Klopp:
Keita just needs to up his speed and have a quick decision whenever he has the ball. Either pass forward quickly or sideways quickly. Otherwise he’s gonna be a bench player till he learns this simple thing.

The 25-year-old was replaced in the second half of the match on the 57th-minute mark by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Keita’s performance in the match saw him pick up a match rating of 6.9 according to WhoScored, the third-lowest of any starting Liverpool player.
After the match, a lot of Liverpool fans took to Twitter to share their disappointment with Keita’s display.

Gini proved haters wrong, Firmino toyed with the whole West Ham squad, Salah is decent but needs to pass, Trent been class, Our backline was shaky, Mane played good, Keita leave my club biggest flop of mankind

Keita needs to step up he was pretty awful after half time.. Klopp doesn’t come across as someone who will carry a player

What do we think?
It’s a shame Keita didn’t have the best performance at Anfield against West Ham. But Keita, his manager and the rest of the Liverpool fans would undoubtedly be pleased with the three points in their midweek game.
