      Id leave him in for Watford defo.

      Get the ox back in too. let Hendo or Milner sit. Give Gini a rest.

      Depends on his recovery time for now I think.

      He was out for quite a while, and his legs might not be quite there yet.

      He was looking a bit leggy last night after 70 mins or so, but he kept going which is a good sign.

      Bottom line is that fatigue causes injuries, and I don't think Klopp will want to take chances with him.

      I am sure Jürgen will take the WCC seriously but it could really be a mental break form the EPL and the CL. Naby needs careful monitoring for fitness we need him as we need OX , Shaq ,Adam and Divok, infact the entire squad is going to be so important this season.

      I think we need to keep him fresh though just don't want him to break down again.  I wouldn't start him against watford maybe on the bench.

      Don’t forget, the injury problems in the last 6 months was largely from him being taken out by Rakitic and his national side playing him when he was far from ready. I don’t think we’d make that mistake and it seems we’ve been giving him as much time as possible to get over any slight knock or issue he might still have had.

      Yeh but he has played 2 games in a row I just wouldn't risk him starting against Waford.  Coming back into a team after a long while and finding some good form.  3 starts in a week is risky I just don't like the idea.   Agree that he has been unfortunate and any label of being injury prone is premature looking at the facts that you have posted.  But bring him off the bench for the last 15-20 minutes.

      If Jk thinks he's fit enough, play him again against Watford. 

      He's just building a bit of momentum after 18 months of false starts, so let's capitalise on that.

      Sure he's gagging for a decent run in the side as well.

      Yeh but I would start Ox and bring him off the bench.  I honestly thought we shouldn't have started Lovren in the last game.  Jürgen was cautious when taking him off against Bournemouth.  I just felt that Lovren should not have started in the last game should have been rested.  Naby is different it's not a big risk but for me an unnecessary one.

      If he can protect the ball a bit better and improve his all-around defensive game, I think Keita is a guaranteed starter.

      Maybe all this lad needs is a run of games:

      I think he's back at the place he was before getting injured vs. Barcelona - and yes, he will be in the first-choice XI.

      Another step forward for him with this performance. Starting to cement a spot within the middle and will give Kloop tough decision going forward once Fabinho is back into the mix

      This guy just glides across the pitch. A fantastic all round display and some classy moments, including rinsing a few Leicester players (think it may have been Tielemans and Ndidi).

      Yeah he was literally hacked down as they were chasing his shadow, that’s what I love about him - feels like you can’t get the ball off him.

      His defensive work was excellent too.

      The strength this lad has is incredible and he really is showing us how why we waited for him. What a midfield we have now we can play in so many different ways against any team that fancies its chances against us

      Same story like with Fab, just took him longer: arrived, problems to adapt, but after time and patience get's it together. I see Naby as a core player of the future like VVD or Salah. If you want to find any hair in the soup you could point out that Naby could be a little faster on his legs, but I'd think even that point is not impossible with Jürgen at helm.

      With Minamino aquired I don't see anything to do on the market for next summer - literally.

      Bad news just when he was getting to his  peak.  Hopefully he won't be long don't want him have to find his form again.
