A number of Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Naby Keita’s performance as the Reds stormed to an outstanding 7-0 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Keita went into the game having gone almost a month without a league start. And he had not completed 90 minutes for Liverpool in any game this season.

It proved to be a fantastic day for the league leaders. They scored three times in the first-half and four in the second. And the game at Selhurst Park allowed Keita to make a real statement.

There were times when Keita’s rustiness became apparent. His passing was not always particularly impressive during the first-half.

However, the Guinea international seemed to grow as the contest went on. As shown by Whoscored, he made three successful tackles and four interceptions.

He also completed two successful dribbles. No Liverpool player managed more than Keita.

Keita has not had the easiest time at Anfield. He has only managed 15 league starts since the start of last season. And given the quality Liverpool have in the middle of the park, he obviously faces a difficult task trying to secure a prolonged run in the side.

However, many on social media suggested that he produced an outstanding performance at Selhurst Park. For many, it was a reminder of how good he can be.

And some are clearly hoping that Keita’s display may be a sign of what could be to come should he now be able to put his previous fitness issues behind him and enjoy more game-time over the coming weeks.

Here is how some of the fans reacted to Keita’s superb performance…
