DBasia.news – When Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were diligent about scoring goals for Liverpool at Anfield their partner Roberto Firmino struggled to do so.
Roberto Firmino joined Liverpool in the summer of 2015 from TSG Hoffenheim. The striker made the Reds pour out 41 million euros for Hoffenheim.
Firmino’s performances in the first two seasons were not that impressive. Firmino only scored 23 goals in two seasons.
In the third season, things started to change. Liverpool’s front line appeared trengginas with the entry of Mohamed Salah. Jurgen Klopp managed to find the right ingredients for the trio in the banging sector, namely Salah, Firmino and Mane.
The Brazilian striker has scored 27 goals in 54 matches. Firmino also contributed by providing 17 assists.
However, from that moment on Firmino’s game started to decline. His tally was reduced by almost 50 percent. Last season, Firmino only scored 12 goals.
This drought has continued until now, especially when he played at Anfield. Based on statistics released by the BBC, the 29-year-old striker has only scored one goal in the last 57 shots at Anfield. This season, Firmino hasn’t scored a goal either.
Roberto Firmino has to change the situation. Currently, Liverpool need their sharpness to return to the top of the table.
Big opportunities for Roberto Firmino were wide open when Liverpool faced Sheffield United. The Wednesday have conceded seven goals in five games in the Premier League this season.
