Liverpool midfielder Firmino: Rodgers sacking right decision

Liverpool midfielder Roberto Firmino says the sacking of Brendan Rodgers was the right choice.

Rodgers was replaced by Jurgen Klopp and the German has made a steady start, winning three of his seven games in charge.

Firmino told Sky Sports' Barclays Premier League Weekly: "It was a short period [under Rodgers] but I considered him a great manager but I didn't get much playing time under him.

"When results don't come along, it is a must to switch managers.

"I think Klopp has the typical Germany mentality, which I am used to as I played for four years in Germany.

"I do like his German methods, he concentrates and focuses on what he wants. I think he will help us. We are already getting what he wants from us.

"He brings good vibes, we are on a positive path and we are always aiming high."
