Roberto Firmino

[Zapater]

Definitely wouldn't sell. Would really like a good option at 9 though. Preferably one with some aerial presence too. Origi has proved he isn't suitable. I also like the idea of having Bobby as an option as a 10 in a 4-2-3-1 (which would suit Fab and Thiago in a double Pivot really well too). Alternating between positions depending how we line up. I don't think it would be a terrible idea to be more versatile with formations to give make things less predictable tactically too. We've switched around a few times, but always revert back to the same way of playing eventually. It isn't a bad thing, but keeping opponents guessing a bit can help.

Not holding my breathe for that type of player coming in though.

He's been much better in the past 10 games.

Ideally I'd still bring in another striker, but they're expensive and to be honest with our limited budget it's probably best spent elsewhere.

[Maxiedge]

He was absolutely out of this world yesterday. Wtf where were you for 3/4 of the season?

Yesterday’s Bobby I wouldn’t swap for anyone

[frank the tank]

if we did have one more option, then an attacking force of Salah, Mane, Jota, Firmino and one other would be pretty good. Martinez as somebody mentioned but surely he'd be mega-bucks. Minamino is possibly more likely unfortunately.

It will also be interesting to see what happens going forward with Elliot. And that Polish lad could be trying to elbow his way into the reckoning too in the next 12 to 18 months.

Priority signings are probably a new defender and a new central midfielder. And possibly a back up goalie.

[Fosterbloke]

No way would I sell Firmino, that guy isn't going until his legs give out.

[Mark79]

I think he’s past starting every game every 3 or 4 days all season long, if we want to get the best out of him.

If we could start him in even 10 fewer games next season I think his performances would benefit. The last 5 or so games have shown the sharpness is still there.

I would bring in another striker but I don't think we need to (or will) sell Firmino.

Play bobby as the advance midfielder (10) to feed the front 3 and lead the pressing, with fab and thiago behind him.
Then a front three from salah, mane, jota and a new striker (martinez)

he has played there very successfully for Hoff too.

hendo???

Rotates with thiago, or comes on for firmino when closing out games.

[SB]

As Shaggy said , buy another striker, not a winger, and keep Bobby

[Buzzo]

Looks as if it is only a couple of weeks out. One of which is the international break.
