Errr, no. If Firmino wants to score a goal, that's cool too. But Jota is next up as a goalscorer after Salah at the club this season. So he should get his finger out and try to look threatening 

Jota has usually been deeper than Firmino to bring a bit of dynamism into the midfield.  Firmino has done nothing apart from nicking a ball back from dozy arsenal player after he'd lost it.  His little back to goal flicks have been shit, just handing back possession.

yea, terrible with 20 seconds left

he shits himself in situations like that.

[TheHowieLama]

Just figured out why Matip never has a go during his slaloms

[Torvald Utne]

That was better, an actual shot

[stringvest]

Robinson's defending has been a joke

[TheHowieLama]

Good stuffing from Big Bird

[J-V]

Played Matip shit from VVD

[dockers_strike]

van Dijk's head is still in the dressing room!

It's not a pissing contest, mate. Everyone could have been better. You'd just expect your top goalscorer on the pitch to threaten the goal a bit, that's all.

Unlucky big Joel, nearly cleared the Kop roof.

He's been shit full stop

[Boss]

That would've been an unbelievable goal by Taki. Unlucky there.

[El Rojo]

Anything less than a two goal lead tonight against ten men would be a poor outcome.

No idea who the Arsenal lad in midfield is, but he's getting away with murder shoving everyone under headers.

He ain't lying

[Carvalho Diablo]

Would like to see Milner replaced by a forward-ish player. Ox? Is young Gordon on the bench?

[magicrat]

We have got worse since HT. Klopp needs changes pdq

The Belgian kid , captained Anderlecht at 20 years old supposed to be a decent player.
