Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has come down with showering praise on Robby Firmino.
“He is [unique],” the Liverpool boss began. “He is just exceptional, a very football-smart person, obviously.
“In the first half, in between a really tight formation of Southampton, the way he drops and keeps the ball, how he makes things happen is very special, absolutely.
“Then even a player like Bobby needs an address where he can send the ball, because he cannot take the ball and turn and run alone.
Firmino came up with a hattrick of assists for Liverpool’s 4-0 win over the Saints!
“How he uses the skills of his mates is special. I do not know a player like him, that is true.”
“It was easy to move Hendo. Fabinho is naturally more a defensive-orientated player than Hendo,” Klopp added.
“We had to control the counter-attacks of Southampton. He [Fabinho] has struggled with rhythm. The first two games when he came on it was not Fabinho before he got injured. That is normal, so Saturday was a big step for him. He was key for us.
“We needed a calm player in the centre, not too active. That was the change at half-time. We used him more for the switches – find Fabinho, pass to the other side and then accelerate and use the power of Hendo in the half-spaces.”
