LFC fans pile on Twitter to make same point about midfield

It’s blatantly obvious that we’re missing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain right now…

The Englishman is out injured and will be for the majority of this season.

Today against Manchester City, we drew 0-0 at Anfield, but missed a player able to drive through the midfield with the ball.

Naby Keita should be fulfilling that role, but is playing within himself at the moment as he learns Jurgen Klopp’s system. On a few occasions, he got the ball on the half turn and drove us forward, but not nearly enough.

Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum can’t do it, and neither can James Milner, who went off injured.

Really, Liverpool need Keita to play with a little bit more freedom and with plenty more dynamism. When he does, our midfield will link much better to the attack.
