WhoScored.com gave Firmino a 7.79 average meaning that he was just behind Wolfsburg's Kevin de Bruyne who scored 7.95. He made 10 assists during the 2014/15 season putting him joint third in the Bundesliga assist table and made the WhoScored team of the year. With Steven Gerrard no longer a part of the Reds' midfield, Liverpool will be hoping he can use his outstanding vision to support the current strikers who struggled for goals last season.
