Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino scores their fourth goal
Liverpool star Roberto Firmino has told the Daily Mail it all depends on him if he wishes to become the Neymar of Liverpool.
The forward has been a big hit at Anfield since arriving last summer under former manager Brendan Rodgers.
He initially struggled under the Northern Irishman but has flourished under Jurgen Klopp since he took charge last season.
He has been in impressive form so far this season, with two goals and 14 key passes in his four games.

The Brazilian is keen to keep improving, though, and says it is down to him what level he can achieve.
“When I heard that he [Klopp] was coming to be Liverpool manager, I was so pleased. I could not have been happier,” he told the Daily Mail.
“He brought a style of work and play from Germany and the team has adapted to it. He is a great person. If you do what he asks you to do, you will never let him down. Can he make me the Neymar of Liverpool? It all depends on me.”

Firmino will now be keen to maintain his form and help the Reds continue their relatively strong start to the season.
They are currently sixth in the table with seven points from their first four games.
Their next game sees them take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this evening in the second Friday night game of the season.
A win in London could see them go as high as second, at least temporarily, and Firmino will be hoping to play his part once again.
