The Reds were held to a draw as Kai Havertz gave the Blues the lead with a looping header but Liverpool equalised through Mo Salah's penalty after Reece James was sent off for a handball.
Keita started both Liverpool's opening league games this season against Norwich and Burnley, but he was benched as Roberto Firmino returned to the XI alongside Sadio Mane and Salah.
Malick Kebe tweeted sarcastically: 'It's really hard for me to understand Klopp, you have to be him to put Naby Keita on the bench right now in his form.
Your super coach is solely responsible for this draw against Chelsea.'
Despite describing himself as Keita's manager on Twitter, he then followed up that outburst with: 'I don't need to be followed by journalists and I am far from being Naby's agent. But the truth is unique, we do not change the winning team.'
Keita's contract expires in 2023, with the Guinean's time at Anfield beset by inconsistency.
He arrived to much fanfare from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2018, but has since started just 34 Premier League games.
