    I actually think recently he’s been the best of the 3 in work rate and has produced some good play. He’s been woefully out of touch in front of goal though for ages. We’ve no goals in midfield and mane has stopped scoring too. Combined with the leaky defence it’s not hard to see why we’ve declined so dramatically. Question is what do we do about it.

    Jota has been a huge loss, he was flying before the injury.

    That's right Ian.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Amidst the highlighting of Firmino's lack of goals, the dry spell for Mane has been somewhat overlooked.

    If I'm not mistaken Mane has 7 League goals this season. I'm pretty sure 3 of those came in the first 3 games, meaning he has 4 goals from 19 League matches.

    It's just symptomatic of the majority of the side not functioning in the normal fashion we have come to expect. If Salah's goal-scoring output this season was similar to that of Mane and Firmino then things would look really bad!

    Would love to be able to gift Mane or Firmino a tap-in against Sheffield.

    This.

    That goal he scored, cant remember who it was against, where it appeared to be a deflection off the keeper, but he used some sorcery to flick it by him and tap it in. That was a delight to watch in slow motion.

    He's the one you'd want up front when he is back at the moment. Was showing incredible promise.

    But seemed to be benched quite often after a great display - am I right there! Can't dig up the stats that easily.

    Nope. He’d forced his way in

    I see what you're doing, bumping both Firmino thread to the top...well played. Maybe this will improve his form in front of goal
