With Salah's poor form, this is Liverpool's best-performing player

It is clear that Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is not performing well for Liverpool this season. With two goals and two assists so far this season, much more is expected from the striker who won the golden boot last season in the Premier League and was once the best player in the world.

This poor performance is affecting the Reds who have also had a difficult start to the year with just two wins and a forgettable debut in the Champions League group stage when they were thrashed 4-1 by Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, forcing them to get wins in the following matches to avoid complicating their passage to the last 16.

This signing was Jürgen Klopp's worst mistake

Liverpool benefit from Premier League weekend break

However, German coach Jürgen Klopp has found a player to rely on in his attack as Brazilian Firmino has become the Reds' best performer. At 30 years of age, the Brazilian attacker is the team's top scorer with three goals, the top assist man with three assists, and also the player who has created the most attacking play this season.

Firmino arrived at Liverpool in 2015 as one of the first signings in the Jurgen Klopp era with the Reds. And if in recent years he had performed very well, last season was the worst since he has played at Anfield, scoring only five goals in 20 games played. The constant injuries reduced his game and everything pointed to him leaving the team in the summer transfer window.

<strong>The Reds&#39; new star?</strong>

But with the departure of Senegalese striker Sadio Mané, who was sold for 30 million euros to Bayern Munich, and the slow adaptation of star striker Darwin Núñez, Firmino has become Jürgen Klopp's man of trust. Now he will have to take responsibility for the Reds' attack and be the figure that the coach and the fans expect Liverpool to get out of the bad moment.
