Roberto Firmino

[DannyMan2006]

Played quite well. Getting involved a lot more.

He's got quality, might just take him a while to bed in. Deserved a goal tonight.

Agreed.

Hit the post, in a good position for the header & also put Benteke clean through. In past games he was invisible. Things are clearly starting to tick for this lad.

Ozil was **** last season. Form is temporary, class is permanent

This .. as was Pires also to a lesser extent Henry who went 8 games without scoring as a striker when he first arrived

And Gareth Bale.

its normal for flair players to take time to bed in .. and the time in between they look totally like **** on the pitch ... its the nature of their game

As I said Tee, get with the program

Ozil was absolute dog**** last season. He has loads of time.

In fact he was dog**** for two seasons before he got his **** together this Season.

I thought he did better yesterday. I watched him a lot off the ball and he was working hard at least. For a Brazilian he is infuriatingly wasteful at times.
I'm prepared to be patient with him. There is definitely a talent in there.

i thought he was quite good last night,had some chances and was quite attack minded last night,linked up well with lallana and phil,one of his better performances and didn't wane too much.

He's got talent but he needs to be more consistent, like the gerbils. He's one of the reasons we've been on and off this season. Last night he was good and one of our better players.

[RichC]

His play is good, he makes intelligent moves and is full of running what's missing is the end product at the moment but I think that will come, we're also missing a genuine striker at the moment and I think once we get someone in and playing up top that moves we'll see him improve.

I didn't bite my lips at all yesterday so there's something there.

He runs and runs. Suarez like almost. Good close control, confident in his dribbling ability, seems to have good shooting technique from distance though working on accuracy.

I'd rather him starting as our striker from now on until Origi/Studge come back.

[Shaggy]

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 too 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.

[Havors]

For me he looks like a player playing with a bunch of strangers. Particularly when coutinho isnt playing. You can see he has the talent just needs to confidence and to settle in and become part of the team.

[gratziani]

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.
