Why all the "my player is better than your player" bullshit? Grow up.

Code started it Miss!

This is the main problem with Firmino, the amount of games with no goal contributions. 

He has contributed with a goal or an assists in just 5 of his 19 games so far this season.

He hasn't been consistently good enough since we won #6. Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves.

He was excellent first half yesterday and can play important cameo roles in future.

Not in the World Cup squad.

Good news for us. Awful shame we’re not in the title race, as we’ll have less players at that shitshow than most other ‘big’ clubs. Hopefully it will benefit us in Europe in spring.

Brazil's coach has introduced younger elements into his midfield and attack, so Casemiro and Neymar at 30-odd are the old men. They make up for it in defence, where 35-year-old Thiago Silva is a mainstay and 80-year-old Dani Alves is still going. Bobby will be disappointed to miss out, but he was only ever likely to be squad filler. In any case, you always get one or two dropping out late in the day so Bobby could yet be the beneficiary.

What in Gods name was that?

 

I struggle to think about a worse penalty at this level.

What about that Italian lad with the stuttering run up?

He never remotely looked like scoring

The trouble is, no-one was in the least bit surprised he fucked that up.  You only have to watch his recent games.  And this one.  But it's alright, because he's you know, Bobby, and he's a great character.  He was the glue in 2018.

You must be delighted.

well, we got through, so I am rather pleased.  If you mean delighted by Firmino's piss poor performance, I really am not.  

[Torvald Utne]

He was pretty good when he came on, shit penalty though.

[Bjornebye]

That penalty was a fucking disgrace. 

[Tarwater]

Played well, though.

Henderson was appalling, too, I'm sure you'll agree.

Thiago was boss again, not his best but won more tackles and played more passes forward

no, he didn't play.  Firmino did.  What did you think of his performance?
