Roberto Firmino display against Bournemouth delights Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is sure Roberto Firmino will succeed in England after watching his best performance for the club.
Nathaniel Clyne scored Liverpool's winner in the 1-0 Capital One Cup success against Bournemouth on Wednesday, but it was Firmino who earned plenty of praise from Klopp.
The Brazil international had a hand in Clyne's goal and was Liverpool's most threatening player as they booked a quarter-final tie at Southampton.
Klopp knows plenty about the big-money arrival from Hoffenheim having watched him many times as Borussia Dortmund boss and is pleased to see the 24-year-old starting to come into his own.
"It is important for a new player when he comes to a club to show this but he does not have to show me because I know him very well," said Klopp.
"We know a little bit more about him, it was very intensive for him tonight.
"He is ready. He is prepared for this league, he is physically strong, a good technician and usually he is a good finisher. A good player."
