Former Liverpool star Jimmy Carragher believes Brazil striker Roberto Firmino could lose his place in the Red squad’s starting lineup due to his scoring struggles in recent times.
Liverpool’s attacking trio of Egypt’s Mohamed Salah, Senegalese Sadio Mane and Firmino have scored 183 Premier League goals between them over four seasons, and the trio have helped Liverpool claim the title for the first time in 30 years. last season.
But their level has dropped recently and none of them have scored in the last 3 games, including a goalless draw with leaders Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.
Although Carragher expects Salah and Mane to return to their form, he is skeptical of Firmino’s long-term prospects.
“I still have confidence in Mane and Salah coming back to scoring goals, but I have to say I’m worried about Firmino,” Carragher told Sky Sports.
The former England international defender added: “I think he (Firmino) must be more dangerous in front of goal.”
Carragher believes Firmino’s overall performance has declined this season.
Liverpool haven’t achieved a win in the last 4 games and have fallen from the top of the English Premier League to fourth place.
