There’s people who criticize Firmino because they don’t understand his role, which is often invalid

However, you can completely understand his role while also admitting he doesn’t always perform that role 100%, and that’s okay to admit
Firmino is less there for goals and more for creating space for Mane/Salah, buildup & pressing

It is, in fact, possible to not always be good at that and be in bad form

Lets stop pretending every time Firmino is being criticized that its because people dont understand his role
Rival fans often don’t understand his role. But Liverpool fans (typically) do

Pointing to him not scoring a lot is not valid criticism. Pointing toward him not finishing the chances he does get is valid

Pointing to him not creating space well or getting involved is also valid
Letting Minamino start some games to push Firmino by having his starting place threatened is what he needs

Plus Taki is in good form, Bobby isn’t in bad form but could definitely be doing better and needs that boost
