The honeymoon phase is over for Roberto Firmino in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Ahli also won the first four games of the season but now sit fourth after only winning three of their last six games.

Firmino still valuable for Al-Ahli

While Bobby hasn’t been banging in the goals, he remains a valuable member of the Al-Ahli squad and is the club captain.

He also notched up an assist in his last game, as he set up Riyad Mahrez during the side’s 3-1 win.

Firmino’s time at Liverpool

While fans in Saudi Arabia may grow frustrated with Firmino’s lack of goals, looking at his time at Liverpool should prove that he offers more than just goals.

As noted by Transfermarkt, Bobby scored 111 goals for the English Premier League side in 326 games.

While he wasn’t going to score as many as Mohamed Salah, Firmino built a reputation for being a crafty player who could link plays and create chances for his fellow forwards.
