Liverpool took another step towards claiming their first ever Premier League title on Monday night as they recorded a 3-2 win over West Ham United.
The Reds are now 22 points clear of second-placed Manchester City having incredibly won 26 of their 27 Premier League matches during the 2019/20 campaign.
Jurgen Klopp’s side needed to come from behind to beat the Hammers, though, and it would be fair to say that not too many of the club’s fans loved Naby Keita’s display.
Indeed, a number took to social media to criticise the midfielder, who came into the side as a replacement for the injured captain Jordan Henderson.
So poor

He was poor today, big opportunity for him and he didn’t step up. Compare Ox’s performance to his and it was so much more impactful

He failed miserably.

He’s awful don’t know what Klopp sees in him tbh

Meanwhile, others have gone a step further and claimed that Keita should be sold in the upcoming transfer window.
The 25-year-old only arrived at Anfield from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2018 but has largely found it difficult to make his mark, contributing just six goals and two assists in 51 appearances for the Merseyside club in all competitions.
You arent wrong. I’d move him on in the summer

Cut losses in Summer with him.

I think its time to let him go.
If we can use him to get sancho then that would be spot on. Bring back grujic for his position.
