Liverpool legend John Aldridge has warned Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp about Roberto Firmino’s start to the new Premier League season.

Speaking in his Liverpool Echo Column, Aldridge, who scored 63 goals in all competitions in a two-year spell with the Reds, insisted that something didn’t look right with the Brazilian striker.

‘Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Fulham couldn’t paper over the cracks when it comes to how badly Roberto Firmino is struggling right now so we’ve just got to be thankful for how impressively Xherdan Shaqiri has started his Reds career,’ Aldridge said.

‘Firmino is just out of sorts completely – I don’t know what’s wrong with him mentally – but he’s just not on the same wavelength as anyone else on the pitch.

‘He’s getting that frustrated he’s coming to the back four to try and receive possession.

‘They should be shouting at him. If I were Virgil van Dijk I’d be telling him to ‘get up the park’ and not cluttering things up for the midfield players.’
