Liverpool fans react as Naby Keita is left on the bench against Arsenal
Liverpool saw their hopes of a record points total in the Premier League evaporate after a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Sadio Mane did set Liverpool on their way but goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Reiss Nelson saw the Gunners home before the break.
It was two rare mistakes that gifted Mikel Arteta’s team victory, with Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker enduring rare moments of madness.
Liverpool fans will be delighted to see their team finally lift the Premier League crown at the weekend and will now hope to focus on next season.

In truth, the Reds haven’t been great since the restart and this was another lackadaisical performance from Liverpool.
One thing that did get supporters talking was the omission of Naby Keita who was once again forced to settle for a place on the bench.twitter.com/don_wanye/status/1283515677395959809
Former Arsenal man Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain got the nod to start ahead of him; with many fans fearing Keita isn’t overly fancied.
The 25-year-old was brilliant at Brighton a couple of weeks ago but hasn’t been called upon to start a game since.
That’s something of a mystery to some supporters and following the game, we looked at what they were saying regarding the Guinean international.
Naby Keita is my post lockdown Liverpool highlight. How is he not starting every game for us? He’s progressive, attacks space and makes things happen. This is not a Naby love in but this is the Player I thought we were getting two years ago.

Hopefully some Liverpool fans realise that Keita is our best midfielder after henderson🙄He created more chance than those midfielders who started

Keita was good today. Not sure if that can be said about any other Liverpool players. Arsenal deserved all three points.

Gonna say that I think Naby Keita will be Liverpools first choice midfielder next season

good cameo from Keita. First time he's impressed me in the Liverpool shirt.

Keita came on, Keita has been wonderful. Keita has been injured for pretty much the entire season, Really? You literally would not be able to tell. Only been on for a few minutes and he's already the best player on the pitch.
