Jurgen Klopp has thrown his weight behind out-of-form Liverpool ace Roberto Firmino in the midst of his disappointing campaign.
The forward has scored just six goals from 43 appearances in all competitions this season and been unable to prevent the now-dethroned former Premier League champions from enduring a horror slump.
But boss Klopp was quick to insist that Firmino retains his full support and has tipped the 29-year-old to return to form sooner rather than later.
Speaking to journalists, Klopp attributed Firmino's sharp decline in front of goal to Liverpool's wider issues this season.
