I think he should wear a t shirt underneath with a photo of him taking his shirt off and when he scores just raise his top to show the photo of him removing his top without actually doing it.

He could also just put a picture of the referee brandishing a yellow card on the back and cut out the middle man.

[TheHowieLama]

He's so good he should carry his own yellow card.

[Aventus]

I think he should pull the front up over his head like Ravanelli.

Ha I was at that game. Stig scored early on and I have loved him ever since. Ravanelli was fucking unreal that day.

Absolute dogshit this season. The World Cup failure seems to have fucked with his head.

[ZonkoVille77]

Downed tools because Moreno isn't getting a new contract. 

[aRdja]

Really struggling this season. Sad to see, as he’s not short of effort. Perhaps he needs a bit of protecting at the moment. 

[Einch]

As long as it’s not Sturridge who starts I’m ok with that. 

[Hades]

Alisson

Gomez Lovren Van Dijk Robbo

Milner Wijnaldum

Salah Shaqiri Mane

Sturridge

 

We've got a good enough defence. Klopp needs to trust them a bit more and stop shithousing it against the top 6.

He's been fine, not as good as last season, but fine. His issues lie more with the fact that with our workmanlike midfield, he needs to be the most creative player on the pitch and then also come up with the goal tally of a top team striker which is too difficult to do consistently for anyone not named Leo Messi. Basically, he needs way more help. 

 

Sturridge at this point is only good as an occasional starter who will provide a bit of magic when we need him to, nothing more.

Klopp needs to stop fucking him around, he’s been the biggest victim of the constant formation changes, he’ll do a fucking shift all over the place. He should only play as 9, you can’t get any rhythm perpetually shifting from position to position.

Agree with this , don't think the ' Salah through the middle ' thing works for us at all.

[Hades]

We looked good in the PSG game with Firmino off the bench. 

[Lee909]

He isn't the issue 

He needs more from Salah and Mane running off him so he can link better. Also think he is lacking a 'Coutinho' beglhind that's willing to make runs beyond him. 

[billypilgrimnz]

I think Firmino is probably our most overrated player at the moment. He escapes criticism because he does a lot of work in midfield, but this is only because our midfield is one-dimensional and lacks creativity. If we had better balance there and Firmino was asked to play as a proper forward, his limitations would be more obvious. I would be looking for a world-class starting striker right now. Firmino would be fine off the bench.

I don't see the interest of paying a massive fee for a striker and I don't think Klopp does either. His style of play is tied to Firmino, regardless of his form. We'll probably replace Sturridge with a young striker who has potential but who probably wouldn't compete with Firmino right away. 

 

Instead of true #9's we should keep buying wide forwards and secondary strikers anyways. I'd rather we end up with an Ousmane Dembele or a Fekir than a Werner or Icardi. We could do way more in terms of versatility with the former types. 

[Lee909]

Sadly I don't think we will sign anyone in January and I think we could do with another forward 

 

Reckon Dembele ends up at Arsenal 

[Red Shift]

That flick onto the bar for our first goal was sublime

[Jairzinho]

I would be okay with us signing Icardi.

 

Firmino is ace though, and not the problem. The problem is the midfield offering very little in an attacking sense. It's the difference between us and City, and why they'll probably finish 10/15 points ahead of us.

Agree with the issue with the midfield. We’re missing Ox way more than I thought we would. However we need him to step up IMO, and the difference IMO could very well be the points Aguero’s goals win for City and those Bobby’s win for us.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Bobby is boss. Bossbby.

You seem to think Bobby doesn't score goals. It's really, really, really bizarre.

The mistake you're making is assuming Ardja believes what he posts.  He's not that stupid.

[SlugTrail]

Or maybe teams have figured out how important Bobby is to our style of play and are doing their best to alienate him and nullify his work rate. 

 

Other teams do have gameplans as well, it's not always that our players are doing bad.
