#2 Firmino's role in the team

The main reason for Liverpool's sustained success last season was Firmino's imperious form and he looked set to continue his form this season, but after a brief time out of the team early this season, he has looked a shadow of his own self.

On Wednesday against PSG, he was lost on the pitch and had little impact on his team's performance. His role among the front three of Liverpool is not clear. Firmino's strength lies in dropping off and linking up with other players in the midfield but Salah's slump in form compared to last season has forced him to remain in the box looking for goals.

Salah, Mane and Firmino all three of them love dropping off and having the ball at their feet from the middle of the pitch and this has resulted in lack of bodies inside the box during counterattacks. Klopp must soon find a way to utilize the full potential of Firmino.
