Meget “sjov” statistik omkring Keita, umiddelbart vil jeg osse mene at holdet er mere kompakt, når vi spiller med “rugbrødsmidtbanen”.
Since signing the “awful defensively, doesn’t work hard, never tracks a runner, loses the ball too easily” Naby Keita, Liverpool concede 1.15xg when he isn’t on the pitch and 0.64xg when he’s on it
0.44 goals conceded with Keita on the pitch
1.12 goals conceded when he isn’t

“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”
