After arriving in summer, it’s safe to say that Roberto Firmino took a while to find his feet at Liverpool.
In Brendan Rodgers’ final weeks at the club, the Brazilian regularly struggled to recreate the form that had seen his new club pay Hoffenheim around £30m to bring him to Anfield.
His performance against Manchester City certainly caught the eye, with many suggesting the arrival of Jurgen Klopp has jump-started Firmino’s Liverpool career.
As shown by the following stat, after failing to be on the winning side in any of the four occasions he started under Rodgers, with Klopp at the helm, it’s a very different story.

We don’t expect him to be back on the bench any time soon.
