DEJAN LOVREN reckons Roberto Firmino will continue to get better for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
The Croatian international's comments come after Firmino's impressive performance in the 4-1 rout against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Firmino was the shining light in the win over City as he scored his first career goal for Liverpool since joining in the summer from German side Hoffenheim for £29million.
The 24-year-old struggled to make an instant impact when he arrived on Merseyside, but Lovren insists he is now finding his feet and has praised him for his growing influence on the team.
"Roberto is growing," Lovren told the Liverpool Echo. "We need to give him time as he's settling into a new country.
"But he has great talent. He's an unbelievable player. He has so much skill.

"Roberto scored one [against City] and could even have got a hat-trick. He creates and he scores.
“He has so much potential and I know he's going to get better and better for us."
Liverpool now sit ninth in the Premier League table - just six points off of a Champions League spot.
