Probably why he wanted Benteke and not the player who'd go on go be the best number nine in the league. 

 

Still, years on under Klopp,  there was at least one daft bastard banging on about a proper number nine, who even wanted the Brazilian dropped for Solanke, comedy gold.   

Haha. You’re obsessed.

I am going to pinch that piano tune for my ringtone.

World class.

[Carvalho Diablo]

That's my boy.

[Aventus]

I still think it's hilarious that he had the record for the most bookings for taking his shirt off, until Klopp told him to pack it in.

And then all the times after that taking the piss where he pretends he's about to take it off before wagging his finger.

 

I love this mad little bastard. 

 

[Saintslfc13]

Most important player in the attack for me and it's not even close. I know we've done big things without him but the man is absolutely sensational at times. If VVD wasn't so good I'd have him as the best in the squad. It's criminal that Brasil find excuses to play others over him but that's their problem.

[El Rojo]

Nice time for this cat to be coming back to his brilliant best. 

[Bjornebye]

Hubba hubba

 

 

 

 

 

[Rushies tash]

He doesn't give a fuck does he? Brilliant!

[Elite]

He's deffo a lesbian.

[Jennings]

Would.

[Lario]

He can look like Luke Chadwick for all I care. 

 

The crazy fucker is ace. 

[Harry Squatter]

He's fucking doomed now that Pete Price has got his photo with him.

[Pidge]

Ran into him at the dentist.

[Iceman]

Hope you had your shades on.

He scored the only goal of the game but the Reds' Brazilian striker was frustrated not to add to his tally
Jurgen Klopp says Roberto Firmino apologised for not adding to his decisive strike in Liverpool's 1-0 win over Tottenham on Saturday.

 

The result means the Reds have now won 20 of their opening 21 Premier League games of the season to sit 16 points ahead of second-placed Leicester City at the summit.

 

That lead could be cut to 14 points if Manchester City overcome Aston Villa on Sunday, but Liverpool are firmly on course to be crowned champions of England for the first time in 30 years.

 

Firmino scored the only goal of the game after 37 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but the Brazil international was in a sheepish mood at the final whistle, according to his boss.

 

"When I went to him and wanted to give him a hug after the game, he wanted to stop and talk first," Klopp said. "He said: 'I know I should have scored more goals'. It was absolutely not what I wanted to say!

 

"It is true probably. He should have scored immediately with the first chance.

 

"He is a super player, super. I don't say this for the first time and will hopefully not say it for the last time. [He's] pretty impressive."

 

Giovani Lo Celso squandered a golden opportunity to snatch a scarcely deserved point for Spurs in the closing stages.

 

It would have been harsh on a Liverpool side who had dominated for long periods, with Klopp keen to highlight his side's impressive "fight" against Jose Mourinho's men.

 

"We had to play for it and in the end we had to fight for it, really hard," he said.

 

"We could have closed this game earlier; we should have I would say. The chances were clear. We had moments when we didn't make chances, but they were ones I would say usually would have to be a 100 per cent chance.

 

"I think we played some exceptional football to bring in Andy Robertson on the touchline but then we didn't find the free player or the defender blocked the last ball. We could have done better in these moments, but then it was only 1-0 and that's normal.

 

"Against a team like Tottenham, it is not decided and in the end we needed luck in one situation and Alisson in two or three other situations.

 

"It was intense, really, but I think we deserved the three points. It was not our best game we played so far, but it was a very good one and, as I said, [we played] really good football in a lot of parts of the game and in the end a proper fight. All good."

 

Liverpool are back in Premier League action next Sunday against bitter rivals Manchester United, who are the only side to have taken points from them this season.

Bobby was nice enough to win us the game:

 

 

 

 

Before getting pissed up with Lloris and frightening every motorist in the big smoke.

[LFC 6 Times]

Great to see him hitting the net with regularity, needs to try hit 20 this season. Klopp said after Watford game he came to him and for the first time in his tenure he told him he was concerned about his goal scoring record. Perhaps they’ve made a tactical tweak or he’s spending more time between the posts, great to see. Keep up Bobby.

The Guardian now employ two of the best football journalists IMO in Barney Ronay and Jonathan Liew.

Poor Bobby looks terrified. ‘Get him away, get him away.’

[dockers_strike]

Love Bobby! I really cannot say it often enough, love Bobby!

[El Rojo]

All his goals have been away from home this season apparently. 
 

He goes through as many image changes as Bowie too.
