There has been questions over who should be starting alongside Salah and Mane for Liverpool as Jota has come into form and Firmino has been a solid block in Liverpool’s front 3 for some time but Firmino may have just solved the riddle picking every fans brain at the moment. Firmino has revealed that he plays in an attacking midfield role for Brazil and was even able to bag a goal for his country last, something he has really struggled to do with Liverpool for quite sometime.

Klopp experimented with a front 4 of Salah, Mane, Jota and Firmino against Manchester City before the International break which resulted in a 1-1 draw, but Roberto coming out and stating that he’s happy to play in midfield will open more options for Jurgen and his coaching staff.
Is Jota and Firmino starting together the winning formula that Liverpool need to get back to the top of the table?
