‘Firmino still a really important player for Liverpool’ – Lack of goals doesn’t concern Dalglish

 

The Anfield icon remains a big fan of the Brazil international forward and expects him to retain a leading role in Jurgen Klopp’s plans

Roberto Firmino remains “a really important player for Liverpool”, says Kenny Dalglish, with the Reds legend claiming to have no concerns over the striker's lack of goals.

Questions have been asked of whether a man who has been the Reds’ go-to option in a No.9 berth for several years deserves to keep his place as alternative options hit form.

Diogo Jota has been a revelation at Anfield following his summer arrival from Wolves, with the Portugal international hitting seven goals through 11 appearances.
