# Liverpool: Fans lambaste Roberto Firmino as personal slump continues

**Lots of [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/liverpool/) fans were disappointed with the performance of [Roberto Firmino](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/roberto-firmino/) during his side’s Premier League encounter with West Ham tonight.**

The Reds found themselves struggling during the early stages of their fourth home match of the season as David Moyes’ side were set up to frustrate the reigning Premier League champions, managing just one shot on goal during the first half (via [talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/781360/liverpool-v-west-ham-live-stream-talksport-commentary-confirmed-team-news-premier-league/)).

Firmino has had a slow start to the season and had to wait until the [final home game](https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/sports-news-liverpool-5-3-chelsea-premier-league-champions-win-anfield-thriller/357232) of their title-winning campaign to get his first goal at Anfield in the league.

Liverpool’s first half performance was a complete contrast as to what Jurgen Klopp’s side produced last season, particularly from Firmino, who has been part of their [formidable front three](https://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/comparing-liverpools-front-three-with-the-best-attacks-in-europe-in-2019-20/#:~:text=Liverpool's%20front%20three%20of,the%20best%20attacks%20in%20Europe%3F) for the past three campaigns.

With this in mind, many supporters were heavily critical of the Brazil international, with some going as far as saying that he should be sold next summer.
