Top 10 Liverpool players of the decade

#5 Roberto Firmino

Such a vital part of today's team.

While Coutinho was highly influential, he has been surpassed as the best Brazilian to play for Liverpool in the past few months thanks to Roberto Firmino's contributions to the Reds' recent success. Having been signed when Brendan Rodgers was still at the club, the former Hoffenheim forward was at risk of falling short of his potential.

Luckily for Firmino, Jürgen Klopp came in and perfectly utilised him. Bobby played as a false nine for the Reds, a position he still plays to this day and thrived in linking play between the midfield and the attack thanks to his wonderful vision and footballing mind.

Firmino also came up with some important goals for Liverpool, with most of them showcasing his immense level of skill and technique. His lashing volley against Stoke City and audacious chip against Manchester City stand out from a bunch of belters.

The Brazilian has been commended for his unselfish style of play, contributing a fair deal with his defensive game and allowing Liverpool's other forwards to drift into prime scoring positions. Firmino makes Liverpool tick and does run the show, at times, for the Reds.

While he may not be high on the goalscoring charts, Firmino's brilliance is not understated by Liverpool fans. For a player who was seemingly signed by a manager that did not particularly want him, Roberto Firmino has carved out an excellent career for himself at Anfield. More of those outrageous celebrations, please.
