Roberto Firmino

[Kenneth]

Shame he missed a penalty and an uncontested header from 7 yards out.

[danperkins]

Yeah game would have been dead and buried

[Norbs]

My second favourite player atm I think.

Not sure about the Kim Jong Un haircut though.

Rodo got the same haircut earlier

I think Firmino is technically a brilliant CF.

He really needs to develop a more clinical edge though if he and we are to develop fully. He should have been the match winner for us last night, walking off the pitch ith the match ball. So he needs to not rest on his laurels. He needs more of a selfish desire to score 2's and 3's in matches.

Its all there for him, he has the ability, he has the number 9 shirt now so he just needs to show the desire to be our match winner.

[Kenneth]

You're wrong. It's not working.

[Shaggy]

Annoying as **** today. So was Sturridge though.

[Fredo]

Whatever. You're frustrated.

[Gibbo]

Sturridge was much worse when he came on.

[danperkins]

Had this conversation on here during the summer. We needed a 20 goal a season man up top, someone who is actually a striker . We didn't do it like we didn't get a DM, like we didn't get a CB, like we didn't get a keeper.

Reaping the rewards

[BigChief]

Had a great patch where he kuyted hard last season. But he's just not what we need if we want to go to the next level. Yes our defence and keepers are all **** but this is mutually exclusive.

I don't see a top class footballer in him like I don't in Ox. Yes, Dom that's an opinion.

[Irishnev]

Whatever. You're frustrated.

He had a shocker Fredo - against ****e like this lot you need a flat track bully.

[Kenneth]

Phenomenal player. Doesn't need to be scoring 20 a season with the amount of work he does. Defenders are being pulled all over the place with him.

Yes he does. He needs to be scoring 20 goals a season to be at the front of our attack. Salah is a winger, he shoots like a winger, he heads the ball like a winger. He's a good winger but still. Coutinho and Mane are the only two players who you expect to score. Mane moves central a fair bit but that reduces our option on the overlap, we need a goal threat in the middle of the goal, and if the sacrifice is some workrate or the loss of the odd clever move that we fail to score from then so be it.

[BigChief]

Sturridge was much worse when he came on.

Key words in that sentence. WHEN he CAME ON. As opposed to already having the run of the whole game. Not a fair comparison.
