One of my best mates is a Liverpool fan and here’s his assessment:
Liverpool fans love him and hold him in high esteem due to CL final, Barcelona goal, Everton goals, and some other key moments. But for the last season and a half he’s not been good enough when he’s got a crack at the whip. He’s got a good finish, and is fast when he’s in full sprint, but he’s flat footed and often doesn’t seem “ready” or able to anticipate anything (which seems weird considering that goal from Trent’s corner against Barca required being on his toes). He doesn’t press very well or effectively so he’s mostly useless in our first 11, and it’s why if he does play, Klopp tends to play him on the left rather than through the middle (as the central striker leads our press and is why Firmino has been practically undroppable for so long).
But there’s no reason to think that given the right team and set of circumstances he couldn’t thrive. But equally he could be an absolute flop.
Honestly, I think you could do better
