Roberto Firmino

[Chris]

I think he'll come good. As has been said, the basics seem to be there. He runs, he works, he can handle the physical stuff. He's choking a lot of shots in a similar way to Suarez did to begin with...that's trying to hard IMO, bit of tension under pressure etc. When he gets into a flow of goals and assists he'll relax and really improve I reckon.

Thats a great shout, was trying to think of a way to sum him up but that does perfectly. Still think he'll be a god here.

And how the **** did Shawcross not get booked for smacking his elbow straight in to his face?!

Deffo got some magic in his boots at times but also lead as well in the same game, gloriously inconsistent at the moment.

Fingers crossed that he scores one soon and goes on a run because we need someone to.

Those two words sum him up perfectly (so far)

and Gloriously injured (thigh allegedly) I have no ketchup to prove this just an sms from Liverpool.

Well that just sums up our luck then, back to Benteke for the next game

Any truth in the Firmino injury? Considering what's gone on it would be ****ing ridiculous.

Heard no mention anywhere. Twitter has nothing as far as I can see

Dan, I haven't seen it written anywhere, just the rumour mill in Liverpool, unfortunately the lad has often been right before.

Cheers Kev, hopefully it's not true but the way things are going... you really wouldn't be surprised.

Exactly. He clearly has all the tools and he's already starting to play quite well. The finishing will come with time and we'll have a hell of a player on our hands.

Seems to be a lot of difference of opinion of his performance against Stoke.

A few on here say he played really well bar his striking. For me he looked like he gave the ball away too much and under-hit passes.

79% pass accuracy, created 3 chances, only dispossesed 3 times.

[fidget]

He certainly grafted hard and really set an example with his pressing.

[Slinky Skills]

Played really well against Stoke, good movement and looked a threat and stronger on the ball.

Has lovely feet but he looked a bit knackered at times.

Wasn't it you that said we can't rely on stats?
