Although he plays in a wide forward/winger like position for Liverpool they classify wingers generally as midfielders. Think of this in terms of the classic 4-2-3-1 position(not something LIV uses a lot). Firmino generally becomes the No 9 and he would be classified as forward. Even Son is classified as Mid.
Though in the 4-2-3-1 Liverpool played today Salah was the most forward player.
- petepete 7y agoIt's a ridiculous decision, even the stats disagree.[0] "Salah was the furthest forward in 8 of Liverpool’s last 10 Premier League games from last season." I imagine it's done for marketing reasons so more people can fit him into their team; same with Son.

- actuator 7y agoYeah, ideally they should be classified as forwards. Though I guess Salah being the furthest forward is more because of Firmino being a False 9 rather than a proper No 9, which makes his case for being considered as a FWD even more valid.
