Brendan Rodgers happy with new signing Roberto Firmino

By , Reporter
New signing Roberto Firmino has made a bright start to his Liverpool career, claims manager Brendan Rodgers.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has praised Roberto Firmino after he made his debut against Swindon Town.

The Reds bought the 23-year-old from German side Hoffenheim in the close season, and he played 67 minutes in the 2-1 win ahead of a potential Premier League debut next week.

Rodgers told the club's official website: "You see his quality. He is really bright on the ball, has got wonderful technique and has got the ability to want to get forward and score a goal.

"For those players it was just getting them into that game situation, which is never easy as they have only been back a week or so. But they adapted and coped very well."

Liverpool play Stoke City next Sunday.
