Laca is an overall better player than Firminho and Mané. Those two players look great because Klopp has built a coherent offense that makes the most of them. Laca would be a little too slow for the Liverpool offense, but for a slower team with two good wingers, he is fine.
Come on, almost everyone would take Firmino over Laca. He's just a more dynamic player and a better passer.
One thing you notice (even today) is that our attackers have problems playing at pace. A heavy touch, an errant pass, a bad decision... just something that ruins really promising scenarios, turning goals into missed chances, or chances to recycling possession.
