So far, Keita has to be the most disappointing transfer of the last few years, right?

Given the hype and what seemed to be a perfect fit, he's up there for sure.

As he shanks the shite out of a square ball. Ugly.

Choking is in our nature unfortunately.

Has to be at the hands of fricking Woy and Sahko.

Only in the sense that he hasn't hit the ground running... but given that he's mainly been played out of position, I think the jury is still out.. he has definitely showed glimpses of his quality..

For his price we should be seeing more, even out of position.

possibly, but he isn't responsible for his price... and the fact that we have only lost once in the EPL, means Klopp hasn't seen the need to force him in the midfield, no matter how much us fans have wanted to see him over other players...

playing an unfamiliar position isn't always easy, see Milner as an example..

yea I get it but we can't afford for that to happen right now.

Not trying to be hindsight guy but what is the logic whatsoever letting Clyne go out on loan?

If he's unhappy, you wait until the end of the season and let him go, then address the backup in the summer.

Agree..

Roys plan has played out perfectly so far, park the bus and try to hit on a counter... they've converted on one of the two real chances they had..

I agree and questioned the decision, as well... its about what's best for the club and not Clyne... especially, this season...

edit: but I also think there is more to the Clyne story than we know... just a hunch..

For sure, I mean what is half a season if you give him freedom to go in the summer? Who wouldn't want to be on the bench for a champions league run and a EPL title run vs playing every weeks at a lower table team for a half season.

Just a weird decision/situation. Really hope we can level this up, losing at home to Palace would really suck at this point.

We've looked better than I've thought but they're going to park it even more this half and we HAVE to convert even half chances.
