This is excellent

Just keeping everyone abreast of the situation, no need to get a titty lip about it

[Trumo]

Firmino can still play with one fucked up eye. It just means his no-look goals won't be deliberate.

[TheHowieLama]

Ozil has been doing it for years

[Ne Moe Imya]

Can't wait to see twitter's reaction when Firmino comes out of the tunnel tomorrow night wearing the Edgar Davids red shades.

Me birds mate works as a steward at the ground and her mate is wetting her knickers as she's been asked to steward the ground when PSG are there tonight to train. Apparently she wants to meet Noomar. Told me bird she's going to have a long wait, if she wants to meet a player called Noomar.

Great opportunity for Sturridge. I’m hopeful.

It would be Shaqiri in Firmino's place if he can't make it. I'm the main driver of the #SeasonOfStudge but we can't afford someone who is so immobile against a team like PSG.

I think Sturridge is unfairly treated sometimes, but surely the hope is that Firmino is fit?

You fucking two faced bastard. I hope he comes on and scores a hat-trick just to piss you well off.

In the event that he isn’t, I’m excited to see Sturridge given the opportunity... especially after his sizzling pre-season form.

I very much hope he is, our tactical approach that got us to the CL final last season was majorly enhanced by his inclusion in the team. Counterpressing starts with him. Sturridge offers virtually none of that, which is why he doesn't play. I would play Shaqiri ahead of Sturridge, should Firmino not be ready.

Never knew you were a PSG fan.

Agreed. Against PSG I’d rather have Firmino’s defensive contribution than Sturridge’s superior overall attacking qualities.

Never loses its luster does it....

This wummery got old two or three seasons ago, get some new material.

[Captain]

Sturridge is probably injured. I think Klopp tore him a new arsehole over his 'defending' for Lamela's goal.

[Johnlj]

Neymar to get 9 pelanties. Lie on the ground for 25 minutes and getting send off in overtime.

 

Luckily the front 3 clicks this game and we'll score 10.

Superior in what way? I mean, one of them plays a vital role in a free scoring attack, the other is Sturridge. Sturridge has lost all his pace, so can no longer be direct. I’d say the only thing he’s better at is shooting from distance. Overall he’s less creative, less of a goal threat, and less effective in an attacking capacity.

In 13/14, he was brilliant, one of the best strikers in the leagues. I’m hoping he could get back to that if luck is on his side with injuries. He’s meant to be in his prime now.

2013. Huh. We’re in 2018/2019. That’s half a decade, loads of injuries, and a group of players who have been top quality that are ahead of him. Firmino contributed to more goals than any other player in the Champions League other than Ronaldo, who had one more, including being second top scorer in the entire competition. If Sturridge gets his first start for us in the CL, he has a lot to live up to.

Sturridge isn’t capable of sprinting anymore, let alone be part of an aggressive pressing unit. Playing him in the Bobby role tomorrow night would be akin to starting with ten men  

 

I’d be as happy as anyone to see him get a few goals against the shite teams but if Firmino is out tomorrow the only decision Klopp should be making is which one out of Mane and Salah will be playing down the middle.
