Jurgen Klopp admits Roberto Firmino’s outstanding form makes it difficult to rotate the Liverpool striker.

The Brazil international has played more matches than any other member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad so far this season.

Firmino, who has featured in 34 out of 36 games in all competitions, bagged his 19th goal of the campaign in the midweek rout of Huddersfield Town.

Klopp has Danny Ings and Dominic Solanke as back up but says Firmino’s remarkable consistency means he rarely needs taking out of the firing line.

“He’s very important,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com.

“Roberto delivers, delivers and delivers. He doesn’t score all the time, he is not always brilliant, but if he is not brilliant then he works like a horse. It’s very important that you have this kind of stability there.

“Ingsy is in a very good way, Dom is in a very good way. But it is not easy to pass Roberto.

“Of course there will be games when he cannot play, that’s absolutely okay. He played quite often, that means most of the time I think: ‘We should try it again with Roberto’.”
