Liverpool legend John Barnes has admitted 'things haven't really worked out' for Naby Keita at Anfield with the Reds midfielder struggling for form after a torrid evening in Madrid.
The Guinean, 26 was hauled off before half time in the Champions League quarter final first leg against Real Madrid, having failed to put a marker down in the midfield battle with Toni Kroos and Luke Modric.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp revealed that Keita's substitution was taken in a bid to change the game, and Barnes said that the 'inconsistent' midfielder's Anfield future remains in the air.
