manager Jurgen Klopp still recognizes his special abilities in the game. Despite scoring a brace in Brazil’s World cup qualifying game against Bolivia last week, Brazilian star has not score in any of the 5 gamed played by Premier league Champions so far in this season. 29- year- old midfielder managed to score only 9 goals in 38 league matches last season which made him subject to media criticism, but even then he was assured about Jurgen Klopp's support for his place in the squad. Ahead of Liverpool’s Sunday derby against Everton, Jurgen Klopp has praised Firminos contribution to Liverpool’s game.

"These are things where I have to be different to the outside world," he told reporters.

"If I would judge moments as much as you have to judge moments – and moments are not only a second, or a game, or two games, three games, it can be a period. For me, it’s just as important how influential the player is, how he works for the team.

"We lost the last Premier League game [against Aston Villa], and before that we won all the Premier League games and Bobby didn't score, but Bobby was incredibly influential.

"It was always clear, a player like Bobby, if he's not scoring and people start focusing on that, then you realise even he loses, from time to time, the ball. Then you add it on. He doesn't score and he loses balls and all these kinds of things then all of a sudden you speak about 'Is that Bobby Firmino?' Yes, it is. I was in training, he scored twice for Brazil, he is in a top shape to be honest and will play for as long as he can."
