If any player proved yesterday that he deserves more time in the starting XI, it was Naby Keita. Although he did not make the score sheet, he was very good in a particularly dull first half otherwise.

Keita had the physical prowess to repel the rough gameplay of Burnley, and he provided a good connection between the midfield and the forwards. His passing was also on full display as he registered a 93% accuracy, the highest by any player in the game.

Keita finally seems good to go in his role operating in the deeper part of the midfield.

He was unlucky not to score when his shot was saved at full stretch by Joe Hart. However, he still delivered what many people believe was a Man of the Match performance.

Liverpool need these types of performances in the coming games as well.
