What has happened to him? This bad patch has gone on too long now. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, waiting for him to adjust to our new system to come good however nothing has changed.
Is it the system? Is it World Cup hangover? He looks like its his first season in the Premiership. He is getting caught in possesion far too often, giving cheap passes away, not scoring.
I think we need to take him out of the team for a while and give others a chance. Hopefully it will inspire him to put a bit more effort in and regain his sharpness.
If we do that, could should replace him? Will we need another change to the system?
What has happened to Firmino?

We need another attacker in January to take the weight off Firmino and Salah. Both haven't been great all season.

We don’t need a attacker. We need a baller in midfield. Got too many “mad dogs” in midfield and not enough class.

Shaqiri has been playing in midfield, Sturridge is injury prone and Origi has played about 10 minutes in the last season and a half...

you "mad" midfielders were one of the main reasons you did so well last year, that press may have started from up top but milner, Henderson, gw were all just as good in pressing in midfield, fabinho and kieta(when they play) just by early viewing don't press as much so its more difficult to get those brutal counter attacks going

There's a Liverpool website that gathers pressing data and has already noted that Fabinho's pressing numbers are more than anything any of our midfielders put up last season.

That was good enough for a 4th place finish but and we are now pressing less so more quality is needed now from midfield. Need to keep the ball better while in the final 3rd our current crop are lacking quality.
