Premier League 2018-19: 5 Liverpool players to watch out for this season

Manchester United v Liverpool - International Champions Cup 2018
Jurgen Klopp

#3 Roberto Firmino

Manchester City v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg
Roberto Firmino

Roberto Firmino looked in terrific goal-scoring form last season. The charismatic forward offers great depth in this Liverpool squad because of his ability to double up as an attacking midfielder. The 26-year-old registered 15 goals in 37 games in the 2017-18 Premier League season with 7 assists to his name.

His aggressive runs combined with his ability to open up the gaps in the opposition's midfield, have looked threatening. The Brazilian has always been good in winning aerial duels and has been precise with his passes.

Firmino has teamed up well with the likes of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in the forward line, forming a dangerous front-line partnership. Jurgen Klopp employed a much stronger midfield line-up in the last season, which helped Firmino play his attacking game as a striker. Besides, he has looked good on the flanks too.

Firmino had expressed his disappointment after his ordinary performances in the World Cup, but the Brazilian had stated that he will try to put his best performance in the upcoming Premier League season.
