3. Firmino’s adaption to the Premier League:-
Firmino is Liverpool’s third most expensive transfer and expectations about him are high. The price tag and expectations will definitely put some pressure on him. And also adapting to the Premier League will also put pressure on him. Adapting to the high speed and rough style of Premier league may not be always easy, but Bundesliga is a similar league with high speed and fast moving games. So, Firmino may not find it difficult to adapt to Premier League, but he may take time. That is what matters. Liverpool have some difficult away games coming up and they will want Firmino to be set and ready.
Firmino showed glimpses of what he do in his first Liverpool start against Arsenal. It was clear from the beginning that Rodgers did not want Firmino to rush into the team, instead he gave him time to set. Firmino only got 63 minutes in his first start for Liverpool, but he might get more playing time when Liverpool play West Ham at home this Saturday. Liverpool will want Firmino to get set and ready as soon as possible because there are some important games coming up for them. The time taken by Firmino to adapt to the Premier League will be a key factor for Liverpool.
