It is no secret that Liverpool's attacks this season are mostly about either Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane. Both players have dominated the spotlight in the Premier League and are in the race for Premier League golden boot while Roberto Firmino is forgotten.

The Brazilian might does not have as many goals as his teammates but he has always delivered when the club needs him the most. Interestingly, Firmino has the same number of goal involvements (18) as Mane in the league.

He has contributed 12 goals and provided six assists while his Senegalese counterpart has scored 17 goals with just a single assist. He is truly a complete and selfless striker who deserves a lot more credit.


#1 Joel Matip

Liverpool fans and the media have been crying out loud for a defender who could be a perfect partner to Virgil Van Dijk throughout the season. However, Joel Matip has delivered his best and played a big role in tightening the defense of Jurgen Klopp's team.

He has impressive tackling and interception stats, which are among the best in the league. Matip has very rarely made a mistake and has delivered an average of around 85 percent successful passes this season

He even won 7 aerial duels in his recent match against Southampton and kept the Saints' attack pretty much quiet throughout the game. Despite his consistently solid displays, many people sadly still not see his importance.
