The 27-year-old brazilian striker has only scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists in his 8 premier league matches this season. Firmino scored 15 goals and provided 7 assists last season.

However, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has faith in him that's why despite being out of form Liverpool's number 11 has started so many games this season. Firmino’s lack of goals is lamenting not only for Liverpool in the Premier League but also the Champions League. Can the Brazilian get back to his best this season?

5. Olivier Giroud

Another name on the list of struggling forwards this season is French World Cup winner Olivier Giroud. After having a mixed World Cup with France, the forward continued his drought in the Premier League also.

Giroud has provided 4 assists in his 7 appearances this season. However, the 32 years old has linked beautifully with Eden Hazard this season but as a striker, Giroud needs to score goals also.

With Morata scoring 2 goals in 2 matches, Giroud's place in the starting eleven is shaky and he needs to prove himself by scoring goals.
