Danny Murphy has revealed one player in the Liverpool squad who is irreplaceable and defined Roberto Firmino as changeable.

Bayern Munich revealed their interest in the Brazilian on Monday with an ambitious £75m bid to test the Anfield Club. Liverpool has become a strong force in World football again thanks to Klopp's abiliy to transform the Brazilian into a tactical machine bolstering the Reds to claim the Champions League, Super Cup and Club World Cup.

With his contribution upfront towards Salah and Mane, Liverpool are 22 points clear of second place Manchester City  yet the former Red’s midfielder says he is still has substitutes across the globe who will perform on a good day infront of the Kop.

[Virgil] van Dijk is the most irreplaceable one,” Murphy said on talkSPORT's White and Sawyer show. “Could you get in another striker for Liverpool who scores as many goals as Firmino? Yes.

“Would they make as many assists as Firmino and make the cohesion of the team so good? Maybe not, but there are players out there.

“I don’t think you could give me any name that would come in and be able to do what Van Dijk does. No name you could give me.

“Firmino is a beautiful complement for the Liverpool system and the way the two wingers play, and as a three they are tremendous with what they have achieved.

“No one is like Firmino; he’s quite exceptional and unique and he’s a wonderful player.

“But if he were to leave it would be a bit like when Kevin Keegan left and who was going to replace him… and Kenny Dalglish came in.

“Luis Suarez left and they got [Mohamed] Salah, [Sadio] Mane and Firmino. Firmino is well loved as Suarez was. [Ian] Rush left and [John] Aldridge came in and scored loads of goals.

“Football does move on if someone leaves. Is he replaceable? Yes. Anybody is, but it would change the dynamic.”

He further recommended Kylian Mbappe will be a great addition and make the Reds more fearful should Firmino depart.

“If Liverpool were to lose Firmino and go and get [Kylian] Mbappe, would that be a more scary front three? Would he complement the other two as much?

“It is a debate and no one can give me a fact.

“I think if Mbappe was playing upfront with Mane and Salah, it would be more scary than playing with Firmino, Mane and Salah.

“I’m not belittling what Firmino has done, I think he’s a wonderful footballer.”
