‘Roberto Firmino is more important to Liverpool than Salah and Mane’, says Anfield great John Barnes
Liverpool legend John Barnes believes Roberto Firmino is the club’s most important player – more so than Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.Firmino, 27, has not been in the best form for the Reds, having scored just two goals in twelve Premier League matches this season.2

Firmino has looked jaded at points this season

Meanwhile, Salah has scored six in the league as has Mane, who recently committed his future to the club by signing a new long-term deal.Firmino, Salah and Mane forged a frightening partnership up front last season, tearing multiple teams apart.However, Brazilian Firmino has looked fatigued at points this season and Liverpool have not been as dynamic going forward, leading to calls from some Kopites that youngster Dominic Solanke should play ahead of the No.9.The Reds’ next game sees them travel to Watford – the team Barnes left to join Liverpool in June 1987 – on Saturday. And ahead of the game, Barnes insisted Firmino’s role is still of huge importance as it brings the likes of Salah and Mane into the game.Speaking exclusively for bookmaker comparison platformBonusCodeBets.co.uk, Barnes said: “Firmino is the most important player in that Liverpool team, more so than Salah and Mane.“I really like him and think he is crucial to linking up the play of the team.”2
