https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/43943791 RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita, who is joining Liverpool in July, was sent off for the fourth time this season as his team lost at struggling Mainz. He was shown a yellow, then a red card in quick succession for fouling Mainz scorers Alexandru Maxim and Bote Baku. Keita was sent off twice for Leipzig and once for Guinea between 16 September and 25 October. He will be suspended for Saturday's match against Wolfsburg - Leipzig's final home game before his exit. Pablo de Blasis scored the other goal for Mainz, who are 14th but can still be relegated. Last August, Liverpool confirmed a deal to sign Keita. The Reds agreed to pay the £48m release clause, plus a premium, to allow the 22-year-old to move this summer. However, Leipzig's recent form is likely to save Liverpool money. They would have had to pay a total of £59m had Leipzig reached the Champions League - but they are now five points off the top four with two games left. If they qualify for the Europa League - which they are on course to do - the Reds will pay £52.75m. Keita's first red card of the season came in Leipzig's 2-2 home draw with Borussia Monchengladbach in September. He was dismissed after scoring for Guinea in a 4-1 World Cup qualifying defeat by Tunisia on 7 October. Keita also got a red card in aGerman Cuphome tie with Bayern Munich on 25 October.
Missed someone actually giving a ****. Ignoring red cards that aren't red cards like Mane, we haven't really had a tough battling player since Gerrard and Mascherano.
They lost today. If they finish 7th we get another discount. It's a 1 point difference. Guess this is how we will afford the new lucrative contract firmino is on
They held him hostage to probably finish 7th. We'd have a had a brilliant team if Southampton and Leipzig had bent over for us.
Liverpool FC are ready to offer Mohamed Salah a new contract worth £145,000 a week to end the questions about his future at the club, according to reports in the British media.
It's not a rumour he has gone. This could have serious effects on our game as he is the one who does all the high intensity pressing training, whereas Klopp is more the front man. Must have been none hell of an argument as they have been together 17 years
Zeljko Buvac, has sensationally quit Liverpool just two days before the second leg of their Champions League semi-final. *Mirror*
Why the **** do we have this unerring ability to shoot ourselves in the ****ing foot. Welcome to another transitional period. Ffs!!
Weird ****ing timing, the BBC saying "is to leave" rather than he has already left. "Klopp's assistant to leave after row? Getty Images So Gerrard could be on his way out of Liverpool and there could be another major departure on the horizon. The Daily Record is reporting that assistant manager Zeljko Buvac is to leave the club after falling out with manager Jurgen Klopp. Klopp and Buvac have worked together for 17 years and the Buvac is described as “the brain” behind the team's 'Gegenpressing' approach, the paper says."
