# Representitive of Naby Keita delivers angry Tweet aimed at Jurgen Klopp

Things haven’t quite gone to plan for [Naby Keita](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/04/12/kevin-phillips-believes-liverpool-could-consider-naby-keita-offers/) following the Guinean midfielders eagerly anticipated arrival from RB Leipzig.

Having agreed on the deal in July 2017 that would see the [high energy ace](https://www.goal.com/story/naby-keita-goal-50-exclusive/index.html) arrive at Anfield a year later for £48m ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41075272)), the Reds were made to wait to see their new man in action.

A combination of injuries, [fitness issues](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/naby-keita/verletzungen/spieler/302215) and an early substitution recently against Real Madrid has meant the 26-year-old hasn’t had the desired impact on Merseyside.

But now, Malick Kebe, a representative of the Guinea captain has pointed the finger of blame at Jurgen Klopp on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/MalickKebe8/status/1389344381749104641?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1389344381749104641%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.anfieldcentral.co.uk%2Fposts%2Fnaby-keitas-agent-sends-angry-message-to-coach-klopp-in-surprising-tweet%2F).

Keita has made just [16 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/naby-keita/leistungsdaten/spieler/302215) in all competitions this season – without directly contributing to a goal – earning an average [Sofascore rating of 6.69](https://www.sofascore.com/player/naby-keita/365772) in the Premier League.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

There’s no doubt Klopp’s [demands on his midfielders](https://www.football365.com/news/klopp-derides-midfielder-for-being-too-much-of-midfielder) are far and above the majority of managers.

However, to suggest Keita’s troubled spell is solely down to the German asking the Guinean to play a slightly altered role is extremely farfetched.

Hailed as [‘world class’](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/403684-naby-keita-world-class-virgil-van-dijk) by teammate [Virgil van Dijk](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/05/04/virals-important-liverpool-continue-their-return-to-fitness/), there is certainly a player waiting to be unleashed in Keita – although [time could be running out](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-klopp-naby-keita-future-24019814) to see it in a Red shirt.
