I'm a bit disappointed. He's hardly ripping up trees. He looks slow and off the pace, his through passes are lacking accuracy, and he hasn't many assists to his name thus far either.

I'm just saying what I see. And other people agree (read backwards pal)
It's early days yet, I know, but I thought Keita would be more of a box to box playmaker, with Fabinho covering the back four in a holding position allowing others to roam forward. But it hasn't materialised yet. Keita is sitting too deep, and looks a bit lost in the Midfield three, thus far. He's showed some good touches and we know he's intelligent, but we have too many defensive midfielders and not enough goals from Midfield or attacking minded players.
I'm still bemused Klopp gave Hendo a long new contract as I don't think he is good enough.

The added threat he poses in midfield has forced the opposition to play our midfield very differently from last season. Our defensive boys are afforded more time to break things up as there is a fear to press them too much as Naby has shown that he has the skills to wriggle free and play key balls if given the opportunity. And they know that if does wriggle free, their shape in midfield will not be at its optimum due to the press.
As such, the stand off of our midfielders just a tad more than what they would have done last year.
This has added stability to the center of the park and has also contributed in no small way to the resurgence of Milner.
Sometimes, a player does not have to be the spectacular, eye-catching footballer (that seems to be favoured by a lot of fans these days) to be fundamentally effective in the team.
From what I have seen so far, the lad is well worth both the high price and year long wait we had to pay to get him.
