Roberto Firmino of Liverpool had a significant impact on Sunday’s encounter against Arsenal at Anfield.When Firmino joined the game, Liverpool was down 2-1, and the 31-year-old displayed flashes of brilliance throughout his brief 12-minute cameo.
Trent Alexander-Arnold did an outstanding job down the right side, and Firmino’s introduction provided Liverpool a little more flair in the final third at Anfield. Firmino then headed home the equalizer for Liverpool.
Following the game, Gary Neville discussed Firmino on his Sky Sports podcast and expressed his admiration for him.
“Someone is acquiring an extremely talented player. He would be at another top six club if he decided to stay in this nation. Roberto Firmino is a player who I think is just amazing, according to Neville.
“What he has accomplished here at Liverpool is tremendous. Many teams need a player like that up front, although he is certainly losing some of his physicality. Nonetheless, his skill and composure are still there.
Due to the expiration of his contract, Firmino is expected to depart Liverpool at the end of the current campaign. Firmino will have spent eight years at Liverpool by the time he departs at the end of the current campaign.
Firmino has been linked to a number of teams, but his future is still up in the air, and it’s unclear where he’ll end up right now, even if he leaves the Premier League.
Firmino has always been a swank businessman for Liverpool and was the mastermind behind the Firmino-Mohamed Salah-Sadio Mané triumvirate’s brilliant play. When he departs at the end of the season, he will be missed, but he won’t be forgotten. And the matchup with Arsenal demonstrated exactly how big of a gap he might leave.
