9 Liverpool players who may play in the 2018 World Cup

#7 Roberto Firmino (Brazil)

Firmino is key to Liverpool's style of play

Ever since Philippe Coutinho left Liverpool for a move to Barcelona, Firmino has taken over as the main attacking influence. Although Bobby is not as highly rated as his Brazilian counterpart, he has slowly established himself as the first choice centre-forward for Liverpool, playing a total of over 3000 minutes in the season.

He has been praised for his speed and energy when it comes to attacking. Under Klopp's dominant football style, Firmino enjoys having possession and can be equally effective in counter-attacks.

A possible challenge Brazil may face is the possibility of having to sit deep and soak up the pressure. Firmino is one of the most suitable players in such a scenario as he is always eager to hunt for the ball after losing possession.

It will be a wise decision to pick Firmino for the World Cup.
