#2 Firmino gets Isolated
Sadio Mane's absence due to injury meant that Roberto Firmino had to drift into the left wing with Ings playing up front.
However, the outcome of this makeshift did not go in Liverpool's favour as Firmino had a very poor game.
The Brazilian did not have a single shot the entire game and was able to complete just 71% of his passes. Similarly, he failed to deliver any successful crosses into the box and had just one key pass.
Firmino has been exceptional playing through the middle, as a Centre Forward throughout the season but the performance against Stoke may be an indication for the future as deploying him on the left wing limits his overall game.
This further impacted the team as he was not present in the box in goalscoring positions when needed as the Reds failed to break the deadlock.
