Roberto Firmino

[Liverpool]

Didn't he play right wing back once?

At Old Trafford

I thought he was absolutely **** when he first came.

was there a particular moment from today why everyone is raving about?

That little chip to Robbo when he put him through was a thing of beauty. And there were loads of other little vignettes.

I said in the match thread that he was playing like a Harlem Globetrotter.

To think that Salah is our third best forward atm is insane.

That Globetrotter comment, IMO he is easily the most watchable footballer in the league.

It's absolutely wild

I'd argue we have the best front three in world football right now.

Can't really see anyone arguing against that. It's pretty much a fact.

Honestly think he's a unique footballer. Can't think of a centre forward like him. Parm said something to me on Twitter today that I thought was absolutely spot on - he said when he's retired they'll name that role after him.

Saw someone compare him to Cantona - good shout I thought

[Norbs]

Except Cantona is a massive bellend

So unique what he does.

And without the tricks it's very subtle hence the under appreciation in the wider world. That ability to find space with players approaching. The sublime skill, strength and awareness to move in the right directions at the right times, with players on him, and then the vision and the ability to create.

Someone said what would we do if he left - we'd have to change our attacking strategy, bring in a traditional centre forward. You'd have to teach someone else to do what he does and I don't think that's possible. Not least because of his unselfishness.

Looks average but I won't judge him in this totally dysfunctional set up. There's no discernible plan, everyone looks lost.

I don't think you need to go that far back.
