Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino: I know my game changing

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino has sensed his game changing this season.

Firmino has featured in all bar one game for the Reds this campaign having had his previous term severely hampered by a succession of hamstring injury problems.

Firmino said: "I'm delighted to reach the milestone of 100 goals in a Liverpool shirt, representing such a great club. I've evolved. I had a few injuries that held me back last season. Thank God I'm back this season, I feel good, highly motivated for the upcoming games and competitions we're competing in.

"I hope to be continuously developing and improving to give my best on the pitch, always looking to win games and trophies with this team."

Liverpool have won only two of their first six Premier League games and opened their Champions League campaign with a 4-1 drubbing at Napoli, although they responded with a 2-1 home win over Ajax in midweek.

"We haven't started the season well, we've had a few slip-ups and three draws, but there are a lot of games and a lot of the season to come," said Firmino.

"We can't lose our enthusiasm or let our heads go down. There's a lot of potential in our team. We trust in our character and potential. We learn from our errors to avoid repeating them in future games. We're a big team, we know what we're capable of and we'll continue fighting until the end of the season."
