Roberto Firmino

[Caramac]

[Elite]

His strike rate has definitely improved this season.

[KMD7]

If he's good enough for Jürgen Klopp and Carvalho Diablo then he'll do for me.

[scudger99]

His strike rate has definitely improved this season.

His all round performance today was brilliant.  He must be a fucking nightmare to play against with his hyperactivity, defences can't relax for a second. 

Two well taken goals is icing on the cake.

[Grinch]

Plays his role superbly more often than not.  Shame he has to hit the back of the net every game to get the credit for it.

[INTORRESTING]

Shouldn't he be hitting the back of the net?

[TheHowieLama]

No - proper strikers kiss it in off the posts.

[Jay86]

Love his fake shirt ripping off celebration.

[Philbert]

Hmm

[Jennings]

Love his fake shirt ripping off celebration.

 

I didn'r get that. Was it a gag at the expense of the officials?

I think it was a gag at himself mate. he has picked up a few silly booking for removing it in the past. 

[Jay86]

He’s celebrated like that a few times now, he’s the most carded player in Europe for it, it’s like 7/8 times he’s been booked for it and now he runs and pretends to do it, giving everyone a heart attack in the process!

[Kevin D]

Pissed up cunt.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

He's going to be crucial to us getting a win in the derby. Fat Sham will go with a flat back ten, so we'll need the relentless workrate, mental & physical strength, inventiveness and guile that Bobby brings to his A-game.

[Aventus]

When I think about Firmino I can't help but smile. I don't think I can say that about many of our players these days.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Bob's workrate, physicality and ball winning are crucial to how potent we are as an attacking force and those qualities of his should not be underestimated.

 

But they are.

Just look at where he starts and finishes for the third goal yesterday.

I don't think that is true.

 

In my view, he's a really good player who should be in the team 80% of the time, but having Icardi as our number 9 is advisable.

Is Icardi Italian? If so,no more Italians please.

Agreed. Firmino should play behind a natural striker. I actually really liked the look of the team when we went 4-4-2 against West Ham and Stoke away. He would then play with a proper striker and could continue doing all the things he’s good at e.g. pressuring defenders, creating chances.. without having the responsibility of being the team’s main source of goals.

I agree with the first part of that.  The second part doesn't make sense given Salah's antics in front of goal.  Klopp knows what he's got in Firmino, that's why he plays him where and how he does.

That’ll be Ashley Williams.

Welcome back to my fantasy football team, BOBBY

[Bobby Hundreds]

Caramac should make a goals gif thread.
