It’ll happen for Firmino at Anfield.It’s not for lack of trying on the attacker’s part. He was discovered by a dentist, Marcellus Portella. Not really. This would have been considered a very poor season for Daniel Sturridge, Luis Suárez, Fernando Torres, Michael Owen or Robbie Fowler. Roberto Firmino has scored 10 goals this season, all of them away from Anfield. In terms of other metrics, such as passes, dribbles, ball recoveries and duels won, there isn't a substantial difference between his output home and away, either.Most importantly, he isn't generally playing poorly at home by any stretch, and eight of his assists this season have come at Anfield, so he is still heavily influential even when not scoring. Klopp wasn’t here when Firmino was bought, but he could not have asked for a better pressing forward than the one he inherited. Klopp and sporting director Michael Edwards ignored them.Instead, they signed someone who would actually score those goals in Salah. That’s not there without Firmino in the false nine role.
This allowed Mané and later Mohamed Salah to make movements into the box and score so many goals. The Brazilian remarkably hasn't found the back of the net at Anfield in almost a year, but his underlying numbers tell a very interesting story. 5 goals in national team ( Friendlies, Copa America). When he does this, it in turn creates space for Salah and Mané to provide the goalscoring threat in behind that they do. They all count the same. It’s not the season one typically expects of a number nine for a Premier League title winning side.Scoring has always been an issue for the perception of Roberto Firmino. Firmino involves himself a lot in the build up. The real story was that Christian Benteke, the man Liverpool signed to be a Proper Number Nine™, couldn’t even break double figures.The following year saw Jürgen Klopp really put his mark on the club’s style of football, and that meant a move for the Brazilian. Born in Maceió, Alagoas, Firmino joined Figueirense's youth setup in 2008, aged 17, after starting out at CRB. In 2016/17, Firmino scored 11 league goals. Salah was down the next year with 22, but Firmino was still well short of him at 12.And so we get to this season, with just eight so far, all away from Anfield. View stats of Liverpool Forward Roberto Firmino, including goals scored, assists and appearances, on the official website of the Premier League. Does it really matter where the goals come? His first season at Anfield saw him net 10 in the league, enough to make him the club’s top scorer, though not exactly something to shout about. In the club he scored 13 goals ( FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League, Friendlies, World club championship). In 2016/17, Firmino scored 11 league goals. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Away from home, his xG is similar at 7.22, but he has found the net eight times. Liverpool don’t exist without him.It might agitate people when he doesn’t score so many goals.

Liverpool generally don’t use a natural playmaker in midfield, preferring more industrious options, and Firmino is a big part of that system. Indeed, plenty of Liverpool fans wanted to see the club sign an “out-and-out” striker in the vein of those names that summer. Zero at home. Sadio Mane has found the net three times in his last two appearances against Wolves. But it comes at a price.
