# Liverpool: Fans slam Roberto Firmino’s performance

**Many Liverpool fans have been slamming the performance of Roberto Firmino in their game at home to Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.**

The Brazil international struggled to make a meaningful impact at Anfield as he was eventually hauled off for Diogo Jota with 12 minutes to go and the score still 2-2, after Enock Mwepu and Leandro Trossard cancelled out two early goals from Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane.

Firmino lost out on eight of his duels and gave away possession on 12 separate occasions in the match, while he also failed to record a single shot on target or successful dribble ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/liverpool-brighton-and-hove-albion/FsU)).

He was given a mere 6.4 overall rating by [SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/liverpool-brighton-and-hove-albion/FsU), one of the lowest of any player to have set foot on the pitch, in what was overall a frustrating afternoon for the striker.
