Rio Ferdinand has highlighted the individual struggles of Roberto Firmino this season as Liverpool surrendered further ground in their bid for a top-four finish.
Speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents Five, he said: “Don’t forget, you had a front-three where everything they touched hit the back of the last season and the season before.
Liverpool made it four consecutive home defeats following their 2-0 defeat to Everton – their worst return since 1923.
You’ve got to rebuild certain individuals as well as the team.”
Again, Ferdinand makes some accurate points.
And as a result, he highlighted how Liverpool need to rebuild certain individuals, such as Firmino, for the team to rediscover their confidence.
It’s not just Firmino’s goals that have dried up in recent months, but his all-round contribution, too.
However, with Firmino turning 30 in October, Klopp may need to look to another central attacking alternative this summer.
