Despite the fact that Liverpool have scored the most number of goals this season in the Premier League, Roberto Firmino’s proficiency in front of the goal has come under scrutiny time and time again. It’s clear that Klopp wants the Brazilian to spearhead his attack because of what he brings to the game but it is as clear as daylight, that he is not clinical enough in front of the goal.

Klopp rates Firmino high as a forward because of his amazing work-rate, the way he shifts to the flanks, the way he comes deep to create attacks but the manager should now realise that, in order to achieve success, they need someone more clinical, someone who is far more decisive than Firmino.
There are some quality complete forwards who possess a similar work ethic as Firmino and are also prolific scorers. Klopp must bring in a natural striker at Anfield next summer, pushing Firmino deeper.
Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.
Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.
Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
