Roberto Firmino

[Gibbo]

It'll come with Firmino. Not too worried about him as of yet.

[Fredo]

He just isn't being played to his strengths and it's too early to say he's ****.

[Rich]

He looks lost playing in that formation. I'm reserving judgement but at the moment I don't see an outstanding player. Average first touch, no pace, no tricks. I'm hoping it's just him getting used to the league and him unsure of the game he's being told to play.

I'm not so sure. All my worries about him not fitting into Brendan's garbage 433 formation are coming true - he's not suited to it. Bren also seems to be completely adverse to using the diamond, which would probably be great for Firmino, either as a second striker or a 10 behind 2 centre forwards.

He might be ok with someone else, but with Brendan ****ing Rodgers, I don't think so.

Oh yeah. He's not a winger by any stretch.

You can sort of see what his mind wants to do though. He's just not up to speed yet. I think he'll end up okay.

I 'kin hope so anyway.

[G]

Klopp will get the best from him.

[Exiled_red]

He has looked badly off the pace so far, but it takes time to settle in a new league and he is trying to do that in a team / system that doesn't work

[tanner]

I'm yet to see one single, tiny bit of evidence that this guy is a top player. Its early, and believe me I thought he was going to be a great signing, but nothing, absolutely nothing to give me hope.

I'm not expecting him to be the best player on the pitch this early on, but I was expecting to at least see the odd bit of brilliance.

[marksared]

Hes class and it will come...but the least of our problems at the moment.

[Fredo]

Way too early to judge him. He's not being played where he should be played and I'm not even sure he'll be played to his strengths with Rodgers. Our strategy in recruiting players at the moment seems to be completely wrong.

[danperkins]

If Rodgers stopped playing him in a work horse role out wide.... We might actually see the best of him.

This is what's particularly concerning - spending big money on a player and not knowing how to play him. It's embarrassing.

[danperkins]

It's absolutely ridiculous.

[BootRoom]

It's £50m between the two of them. Surely one of them must be good enough to improve us.

We can argue about which player is the better prospect but with an idiot like Rogers in charge we'll get the same outcome regardless of the personnel involved.

[baitman]

i know, lets spend 28m on an attacking midfielder/second stiker who can run at people, dribble and score from around the edge of the box and also play as a nifty poacher.

then we will stick him out on the wing to ensure he is marginalised as much as possible.

tactical genius. masterful tactician.
