Nice little cameo for the lad yesterday although was hoping he'd get more minutes; guess he's a little behind the rest in terms of fitness

Played one through ball that was class - here's hoping to big things from the lad




Roberto Firmino scored a hat-trick as a number of Liverpool first-team players clocked up minutes in a behind-closed-doors victory over Welsh outfit TNS at Melwood on Monday.

Those who had not featured from the start in the season opener against Stoke City were involved in the practice match today as they continue to build up fitness and sharpness.

The Reds line-up claimed a 5-1 win, with summer signing Firmino bagging a treble and Danny Ings – from the penalty spot – and Lazar Markovic also on target.

There were starts for Adam Bogdan, Emre Can, Lucas Leiva, Alberto Moreno, Divock Origi, Jordan Rossiter, Mamadou Sakho and Kolo Toure at the training base too.

We'll be hearing about him scoring a worldie in training next

I thought he looked good for the few minutes he was on, with him being a little behind in terms of preseason, training and not having played with the lads much he was never going to start yesterday. Maybe if we had got the goal a little earlier he might have come on sooner. Hopefully he will get longer against Bournmouth next week.

That coverage was better than the **** ITV usually come up with

He's got it. Has to start v Bournemouth.

I wonder if these closed door friendlies will be a feature this season until the cups get going. Rodgers has said he can play two different teams so he'll probably want the 'cup' team to build its sharpness before September. First league cup game is 6 weeks away with the Europa starting the week after.

Big fat Kolo

He's got it. Has to start v Bournemouth.

Whatever 'it' is, he's got it.

Seen a few people saying he reminds them of Suarez and I can defo see that. He somehow ends up with the ball after it ricochets of his/the defenders legs 17 times. Great balance and technique on him.

Firmino is an attacking version of Coutinho if that makes sense. Not an outright striker, somewhere between Phil & Suarez. I think he will be sensational. He will score & assist more than Phil.

Big fat Kolo

The size of that Ass he should change his name to Kolo Kardashian

Suarez-lite is how I think of him - same sort of street football mentality. Not as talented obviously but with comparable work ethic, quick feet and brain.
