442 in itself is a hard formation for good passing success of a team, look at leicester. it also depends what formation/team you are facing that can effect pass success percent of that team.
As for looking at it simplistically, firmino loses the ball a lot - he also wins it back a lot, you put another player where he is, they will still lose it a lot. It's a team problem not just a firmino problem. firmino can't be that bad, he's been involved in almost every game in our last 2 runs either side of southampton -so we've been carrying a terrible player? I've heard it all.
