Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has praised the
growing influence of Roberto Firmino on the team.
Brazil international Firmino joined the Reds in a
£29m deal from Hoffenheim in the summer and having initially taken time to
settle into the team, he has become one of their key performers in recent
weeks.
The
24-year-old played a crucial role in Liverpool's 4-1 win over Manchester
City on Saturday, setting up their first two goals before scoring the third.

good form.

"Roberto
is growing," Lovren
told the Liverpool Echo. "We need to give him time as
he's settling into a new country.
"But
he has great talent. We see it every day in training and now we're seeing it in
the matches. He caused City a lot of problems. He's an unbelievable player. He
has so much skill.
"Roberto scored
one and could even have got a hat-trick. He creates and he scores. He has so
much potential and I know he's going to get better and better for us."-Skysports
