Roberto Firmino brings Luis Suarez-esque https://www.onestoprockies.com/colorado-rockies-jersey/jonathan-lucroy-jersey qualities to Liverpool and will never be replaced by Jurgen Klopp, says Jamie Carragher.
Eyebrows were raised when the Reds invested 29 million in a forward who has never been prolific back in the summer of 2015.
The Brazil international was signed by Brendan Rodgers, but has flourished under the guidance of his succe sor.
Firmino is considered to fit the Klopp mould perfectly, with his willingne s to work https://www.onestoprockies.com/colorado-rockies-jersey/gerardo-parra-jersey hard for the good of the collective cause making him .
Former Reds defender Carragher told Sky Sports MNF Extra: "Firmino has been a revelation this season.
"I actually think he is one of the most underrated players in the Premier League. He has always been Liverpool's number one striker but what he has been adding is the goals.
He can actually match up to the other strikers now goals-wise and still bring all the other stuff that he brings.
"Even without the goals, I don't think Klopp would ever look to replace Firmino.
"If Harry Kane gets 40 goals https://www.onestoprockies.com/colorado-rockies-jersey/kyle-freeland-jersey and Firmino gets 20, he would still be one of - if not the first - name on the team sheet because of what he does off the ball. Klopp appreciates all of the extra things that Firmino brings to this Liverpool team that nobody else can.
"There is something about South American players. They just seem to be https://www.onestoprockies.com/colorado-rockies-jersey/mark-reynolds-jersey able to keep going. Klopp said recently that Firmino has one rest day after a game and then he's back on it in training and that's exactly how Luis Suarez was. He never wanted a rest even in training. That is just how some people's bodies are - they seem to be able to deal with anything."
, leaving him just three efforts short of a personal best recorded at Hoffenheim https://www.onestoprockies.com/colorado-rockies-jersey/trevor-story-jersey back in 2012-13.
He has also recorded eight a sists, and it is that combination of qualities which Carragher believes will continue to benefit the Reds particularly those who work alongside the 26-year-old, such as Mohamed Salah.
"Without a doubt, Firmino is helping Salah too," Carragher added.
He is very clever with his pa sing and his movement drags people out of position as well.
"He comes towards the ball and https://www.onestoprockies.com that opens up the space for Salah to make that penetrating diagonal run in behind that space between the full-back and the centre-back. It is a great combination for Liverpool."
