The incredible Bobby Firmino stat everyone is talking about…

Roberto Firmino is almost every Liverpool fan’s favourite player!

If it wasn’t for Mo Salah’s mind-boggling 40-goal campaign, there’d be much more fanfare about Bobby scoring 25 so far.

The Brazilian has turned into a finisher as well as a creator, as well as a midfielder and a defender, in short.

According to Squawka, he’s the only player to create over 50 chances and win over 50 tackles in the Premier League, too.

That’s more tackles than Arsenal central defender Shkodran Mustafi!

Salah is obviously a world-class operator, and Sadio Mane has enjoyed a terrific season as well – but Firmino is arguably the most important of our front-three when it comes to implementing Jurgen Klopp’s style.

His movement is unselfish, his work off the ball ferocious, and his understanding of tactics incredible.

When you combine that with genuine quality and vision with the ball at his feet, Firmino is a tremendous, unique footballer.

We’re not sure Klopp would swap him for any player on the planet!
