He was. His problem is that he is far too slow with the ball, too many touches, likes time to look for a pass. The only balls he plays first time are for Clyne overlapping but crosses aren't what we're really set up for. He is very graceful in possession but he does all of his running without the ball.

Despite their stats, I think Coutinho and Firmino are overrated, and there should only be room for one of them in the first XI. They are too inconsistent in their technical abilities on the pitch, and often fade.Originally posted by cream View PostI don't like a three of Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana, not direct and aggressive enough.
I think I'm one of the few who isn't convinced by their stats. We need players who can make effective decisions with the ball, and not lose it, because it feels like having two Luis Garcia's on the pitch.
With our attempts at Dembele and Teixeira, it's obvious that Lallana will be a squad player next season, or that will be the plan.

He always seems to take an extra touch that takes him away from goal or slows the play down and the chance goes.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

I think a lot of what Firmino does goes unnoticed. He's good at winning the ball back & offloading then he moves into space to receive it again. Tonight wasn't one of his best nights but I expected Coutinho to be hooked before him tonight.Originally posted by Kenneth View PostIt is Firmino's first season though, we need a bit more patience with him. He started terribly for us but he's been finding his feet.Me, I’m either planning a holiday or I’m on one.

Firmy had an ok 6 out of 10 game. Coutinho was a 4 at best from minute 1 to minute [whenever Firmy got subbed]. Klopp needed to take off the bottler but took off the trier. Can't complain about us bottling it after that faux pas.Originally posted by SB View PostI think a lot of what Firmino does goes unnoticed.

Firmino is quality and will have a great season next year, I'm talking Suarez style stats.
Lallana simply isn't of the calibre required but he's not alone.Klopp on LFC vs MUFC (March 9th 2016) - "This is why I love football. This is why we watched it when we were young. I can still not have enough of it."

Always, keep your face to the sun, and shadows will fall behind you.

Another 1 in 5 player. Can't stand the cunt in those awful Nivea ads. Nearly kicked the telly when it came on today."Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob Paisley
