I saw this coming a long time a go, I knew we would stick with him and was resigned to the fact and thought oh crap we are going to be like this. Fans and the manager saying I don't know what he offers the team in his unselfish play. His pressing from the front etc.
He doesn't press well, is slow, is clumsy, has the weakest shot in the world, grown man who can't use the heft of a leg and foot to twat the ball sometimes.
I'm not looking for scapegoats in this horrible run of form but to me he should have been out since a lot of last season too.
I want LFC to move on from the whole Firmino is untouchable and intrinsic to how we play thing, as much as I've loved the guy, no time for sentimentality but yes YNWA and I do support all players and care about them. But still old managers and coaches for LFC would be like ah fuck this amount of non effort or non skill.
That back heel assist to Salah was cool but it seems flukey more than anything, not consistent.
Get a good number 10 and a real striker or number 9, adapt our way we play up front, got to happen as far as I'm concerned and no matter how much we daly around it still has to happen at some point, do we wait another full season? Things like that is why I worry, not just the here and now and bad games we are playing.
Not forgetting Jota, but add to that, the team needs younger players too for the next step after Klopp in a few years.
