Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham: 5 Hits and Flops

#3 Flop: Roberto Firmino

Firmino, who has been sidelined with troublesome injuries of late, struggled again here

Harsh, perhaps. But given their high standards and the magnitude of this game, Roberto Firmino was largely disappointing.

That shouldn't come as much of a surprise either given his recent troublesome injuries, though it says more about Klopp and how he knows Firmino plays such an integral role within their frontline.

Nonetheless, his impact on the game was minimal and Klopp's gamble ultimately didn't pay off. Replaced for Origi near the hour mark, the Belgian doubled their lead late on, netting a perfect third goal from three shots in the competition this term.

He lost all four of his duels contested, was dispossessed once and struggled to get involved in attacks. The 27-year-old's game is not centred on just scoring goals, his overall contribution to the team differs from the norm: but with Origi's recent form, it will become harder for Klopp to ignore, if Firmino continues to struggle in games like these.
