Maybe. And nobody really knows why Keita doesn't work out for Liverpool as they thought. Problems to adapt to the league or life in England, injuries etc..? Just hate these comments about players, coming from some ***** stating a player to be generally ****e just because they didn't make it here with immediate effect. Doesn't matter if players of our own mentioned or scouser ****.
Keita IS a baller. Everyone easily could see that before he joined Klopp.

Can’t believe what I’m reading on here tbh, people making out like he’s a one season wonder in some farmer league like the Eredivisie or Ligue 2.
He’s been arguably the best player in a superior league to us for several years for one of the best teams in Europe.
He’s been asked to play a role that’s not his natural game and he’s excelled at it. Don’t know why people are comparing him to Yaya because they’re totally different players.
Playing in a team with so much pace and movement would suit him so well.

Emery Gone, Telly Back On
La Liga is a farmer's league once Messi leaves. Terribly branded, non-English speaking and communicating players. Recipe for disaster.
The Emery of leagues.

It’s tinted glasses and is it that controversial? I mean the third placed team handily knocked out the runaway champions of the PL.
7 of the last 11 winners of the Europa League have been Spanish as well as 6 of the last 10 CL winners.

Premier league is just power and pace with not much ability and technical quality. La Liga is a level above imo.

PL fanboys are hypocrites. They call bundesliga and ligue 1 farmers league yet every year buy their best and emerging players

Why do players almost every time need one season to adjust to EPL?
I have never heard about this kind of adjustment when they go to other top leagues.

If they buy their best players & develop their own, doesn't it mean the level is better when time goes by?

Recipe for disaster for who? As a first language Spanish is spoken by far more of the football playing/supporting world. But for wages, I'm not sure many "foreigners" would choose the EPL over La Liga. As seen by the dominance of the Spanish giants.
Brexit will further disadvantage the EPL with permits for young talent.
Don't get me wrong. I love the EPL... But only because Arsenal are in it.

What about Eden Hazard? Arguably player of the year at Chelsea and did nothing at Real this year.
Where’s the same energy as any PL import?
Still no spanish team in this year's CL semi finals.

I think it is the way the EPL is officiated. It's out of step with most of Europe.
New player comes along and teams runaround and kick the f*ck out of them. Some have the stomach for it and adjust. Others never do.

Always felt the EL is a better judge of a league tbh.
More teams closer to midtable gives you a better sense of the depth imo.

Well he has had injuries, missed 26 games this season according to Transfermarkt.
And are you saying Griezmann is **** because he isn't performing like in Atletico?
Anyway, you misdirected the point. EPL teams (even the midtable ones etc.) buy the best players from other leagues (not from the top teams of course) so the level will be better in time due to money. Ask @Makingtrax
Personally I think especially Spain & Germany are very good leagues, only a bit below EPL. UCL & UEL of course paint a different picture (and tournament is a tournament), but it's more about the level of the whole league, not top 6 teams only.
