AMC Roberto Firmino
Putting Firmino back in the Lallana/Wijnaldum role feels much more of a stretch than having Mane and Coutinho drop slightly deeper to cover the area.
Firmino is in the no. 10, where he belongs ESPECIALLY against a counter attacking team.
When Firmino plays striker against teams that defend deep it just doesn’t work well. He’s not the striker that’s going to occupy the center backs, be fine without seeing the ball for long periods at a time if the game isn’t going to plan and will be ready to smash a goal at first touch. That’s just not Firmino.
He’s the guy that loves to be on the ball, combine with others. That’s where he should be against Leicester and pull the strings and help break down the Foxes.
