Liverpool player ratings: 0-1 Manchester United
By Tom Bogert
Roberto Firmino, 6:
If only Firmino knew he was onside when the ball rolled to him three yards away from goal.
If there was one player playing for Liverpool to assume that’d happen to, it’d be Firmino. Extremely infuriating: just put the ball in the net! If you’re offside then whatever, they call it back.
Other than that, Firmino played well. His motor was worn by the end of the game and less runs in behind were occurring, but it was a solid performance from Firmino. Other than stopping when he was three yards away from goal making a poor assumption that he was offside.
Firmino could use a nimble running mate up front because it seems that Klopp doesn’t enjoy pairing him with Christian Benteke much. Someone fire up FIFA 16 so we can see what a Firmino/Daniel Sturridge partnership could be.
