Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports Premier League on Sunday evening (6:53pm, December 2, 2018) that Liverpool star Roberto Firmino looks like he is lost on the pitch following the Merseyside derby against Everton.

Firmino, who can operate as a forward or as an attacking midfielder, has not been playing well so far this season, and the Brazilian did not have a great time against Everton at Anfield on Sunday evening either.

The 27-year-old started the Premier League game and played for 84 minutes, as Jurgen Klopp’s side won 1-0.

The Brazil international gave away the ball twice in dangerous areas and could not make a huge impact in attack.

According to WhoScored, Firmino took three shots, had a pass accuracy of 88.9%, made one tackle, attempted one dribble, and played one key pass.

Former Liverpool midfielder Redknapp, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that Firmino is a problem for the Reds at the moment.

Redknapp said on Sky Sports Premier League on Sunday evening (6:53pm, December 2, 2018): “Firmino, at the moment, is a problem. He is a talent, but he just looks like he is lost out there.”
