EPL: Firmino, Coutinho and Sturridge staying fit can turn the tables for Liverpool

Football Premier leagueLiverpool fans have been waiting the entire season for Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge to start a game together. The moment finally arrived on the February 14 and it sure turned out to be romantic for the Reds. Liverpool scored six goals against a hapless Aston Villa !! 6 goals by 6 different scorers, including one by Kolo Toure!

It may not have been a Daniel Sturridge show, a Philippe Coutinho inspired party or a Roberto Firmino master class, but all three were integral to Liverpool racking up the goals that sent their goal difference into positive for the season. It left many fans, including myself cursing the club’s misfortune at not being able to field these three throughout the season and left them wondering what might have been had they played the last 20 Premier League games together.

This performance against Villa should scare the rest of the Premier League teams. Liverpool aren’t a one-man team when it comes to scoring goals like many want to believe. Keep him, Coutinho and Firmino fit for the remaining 12 games of the season and an assault on the top four may not be out of the question. These three staying fit could have a big say in the outcome of the season and also the big cup final again Man City.!!
