Hi Ed1, question for you. I think Firmino is one of our best players and we are lucky to have him. His pressing creates goals for others, which if you look at it is as good as him scoring. Would you play him where he is going forward next season as a false nine or would you drop him behind a quote on quote out and out striker? I like the balance as it is with him, Salah and Mane either side, who all have enough goals to do without out an out and out striker but again would he be just as effective behind a number 9, in someone like Solanke.
{Ed001's Note - play him where he is.}

Cheers for the quick response. I know Suarez was banging them in the Dutch league prior to arriving at Liverpool but do you see him doing a Suarez in the sense of hitting those 25+ a season figures? if he did he would get that worldwide recognition he truly deserves, although real Liverpool fans already value him as he is scoring 10/ 15 goals but his pressing and selflessness leading to goals for the likes of Salah, Mane and co.
I personally would like you leave him in the false nine and have a defensive minded midfielder alongside Keita and another Midfielder who can ping a pass or two who is also good in turning defense into attack with one ball, in a similar mold to Alonso. That would give us the ultimate balance to our midfield and forwards and have us making the step up in challanging for the title.
{Ed001's Note - I doubt he will ever score 25 but I do think he could easily get just under it this season.}

He's come on for Brazil and nearly undone the defence with fab through ball Solanke just roamed through the Brazil defence and Gomez having a blinder.
