Anyway, we're blessed to have the three of them. We suffered along the way...

 

Fucking hell that's a grim front 3.

[Kevin D]

This has been settled. 

 

Sadio is the indispensable man.

[SlugTrail]

I think they all have their moments. Mane seems to be stepping ahead at the moment.

I agree with this but Firmino is often sublime,particularly in last night's cameo and our fifth goal.

[El Rojo]

Great stat that shows the quality of the fourth of our front three.

 

Goals in derby games:

 

Firmino + Mane + Salah = 4

Divock Origi = 5

[moof]

Yep, have to say Mane right now. He is absolutely incredible. Like, incomprehensibly good

[Guest Pistonbroke]

The best thing is, all three are capable of being World class. If one of them isn't firing then the other two step in to shine, it's a great position to be in. Salah is class, it'll be great when he starts firing on all cylinders, could be just what our run in needs.

Yeah agree with that mate. He's gone up another level at the moment. 

[Daisy]

I like him a lot

This. It’s quite easy to forget how fucking devastating Mo is when he’s on top of his game. If we had Mo from 2 seasons ago we’d be top of the league now.

[Chip Butty]

Sometimes I think it's Mary, then sometimes I think it's Mungo and then sometimes I think it's Midge. 

 

 

I doooooon't really know

[Bob]

Right now, the best of them is Sadio. He’s been incredible this season.

 

but I still think bobby is the most important. When he plays well - which is nearly always - we play well - which is also nearly always

[3 Stacks]

It's prisoner of the moment stuff. I still think Firmino is the one whose role is the least replicable, making him the most important. That said, they pretty much all take turns in being the main man and right now it's Mane. Mane is also the most consistent I would say which is not something you would've ever thought about him if you watched him a lot at Southampton. Credit to him. 

[KMD7]

Bump. 

 

How times change. I never envisaged Bobby's form would ever drop off like it has when this thread was started.

[Funkasy]

I would change my vote to Origi now

[El Rojo]

Ha! Proof that each has been magnificent for long spells. I doubt any has been quite as important to us as Mo is right now. 

[Code]

Oh dear. What a shambles

[coachpotato]

Since that poll started, you have to say Mo has been the most consistent, I thought Firmino was the most important to the team at the time, Mane has matched Mo but fell away particularly last season, but appears to be gaining some momentum recently and his “spat” with Mo looks over.

Be great if Bobby could recapture some form, but now Jota is here I doubt he’ll get a run to do that.

[Jairzinho]

The poll was correct two years ago. Salah has since improved, the other two have declined. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Arguably Jota at the moment given the other options behind Salah and Mane. 

[joe_fishfish]

Bobby still does a lot of the stuff that made him so effective, but the basics of controlling a football and passing it to a player in a red shirt seem to have been lost along the way.

[Em City]

I love Bobby but he's finished. Just turned 30 and hasn't put together a a string of decent performances since 2018.

 

Mane mostly plays like he has brain worms these days.

[Pidge]

Mane's not been so bad this season, but it's clear that the days of him consistently carrying the ball out and launching a counter on his own are over. Needs to take on a few longer shots as he has that in his locker but never looks confident in backing himself these days. Got to force sides to come out to him as it will open things up for him and Robbo. Not being able to get a free kick doesn't help (but he doesn't help himself in that respect).

 

Hard to tell with Bobby while he's not playing. He's gotten some goals, but needs a chance to find his rhythm. Hard while Jota is playing well.

Hahaha delusional. 
 

Its a bit like those complaining about journalists pointing out Salah has not really been appreciated the way he should have been by our fans. 
 

I was accused of hating Mane, simply because I pointed out Sala was a superior player.

Yeah Salah has always been the best of the 3 imo. Mane was getting very close to him but imo Salah always had more to his game. And he only looks stronger now while the other 2 are declining ( rapidly in Firmino's case)
