Such a crucial player for us. His pressing game starts everything for us, if he doesn't press the back four the way he does then our whole team press fails. If he isn't scoring or assisting goals for us then generally he's creating them with his movement, dragging defenders out of position to allow other players to run into.
He's now got 11 PL goals this season and in his last 6 games he has 3 goals and 3 assists, including the match winner in the last 2 matches.

Firmino was involved in most of our play yesterday. Besides his goal, he set up the disallowed offside goal and most importantly it was his flick that deflected the ball for Chadli who would probably would have scored. He was everywhere.

Also how crucial has Mignolet been this season, especially his recent form
----------------------------------------------------------------------
True. I keep thinking back to when he was dropped when he was playing well and the points we lost due to Karius errors. Long run perhaps it will work out for the better.

Other than Bournemouth I can't think of any points dropped due to Karius.
Mignolet dropped just as big a clanger as that against Hull.

Firmino was rubbish when Coutinho was out injured.

Yep, like Alli from August-November.

Firmino is best as a striker IMO. The whole team had a dip in form, not just Firmino. Other than that he has delivered more often than not.
He won't be a 25-30 goals per season man perhaps but he can be a 15-20 goals a season man and depending on how Klopp wants to play, that could be enough.

Think him and Son are two of the most underrated players in the PL

At the moment the side doesn't seem setup for one player to score most of the goals or even depend on strikers
Goals/Assists all comps
Mane 13/5 (winger)
Firminho 12/7 (former midfielder who plays anywhere in the final 3rd)
Coutinho 10/7 (attacking midfielder)
Origi 10/3 (Striker)
Lallana 7/7 (attacking midfielder)
Milner 7/3 (Fullback - mainly penalties)
Studge 6/1 (Striker)
Wijnaldum 5/6 (Midfielder)
Can 4/2 (Defensive Midfielder)
Both goals and assists are spread all over the shop - and out and out strikers don't seem to be critical
I like it

The most complete striker the league has seen since Suarez.
