Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is happy to play Roberto Firmino in a deeper role.

Klopp did it again for victory over Cardiff City.

He said, "I don't have to make the decision [on whether it's his long-term plan for Firmino]. Bobby is a very flexible player. Today was obviously not his most genius game but things like this happen; in games like today he is important, so important for us.

"We have not only two systems, we can play different systems and that's good. He is so smart in defending that it makes absolute sense that he is in a game where the second balls are the most decisive thing. If there is a player around always chasing the guy, it helps.

"Different positions are possible - he's played the wing, the nine and the 10. I don't have to make a decision today and that's good."
