Firmino fitness update will worry Reds…

It doesn’t look like Roberto Firmino will be ready for tomorrow’s tie with Watford – and he might miss the weekend’s Merseyside Derby as well.

This is according to the Telegraph, who suggest the ankle injury our no.9 picked up against Manchester United on Sunday is not a minor one.

Without Bobby v United, Daniel Sturridge came on, but did next to nothing in the final third.

He was so ineffective that we find it hard to believe he’ll keep his spot in the side, actually.

We’d prefer Jurgen Klopp goes with Xherdan Shaqiri on the right and moves Mo Salah back into a central position.

This will also enable Naby Keita to come back into the side in midfield – giving us two far more creative players on the field.

Fabinho and Gini Wijnaldum can provide the defensive, tactical and transitional nous.

Nothing less than a win will do after we failed to secure the three points at Old Trafford against a threadbare side.
