Bobby Leaving?

[johnsusername]

It's not that I'm gutted Bobby is leaving, it's the fact that that team is over. It's definitely the end of an era. THAT is absolutely gutting.

Everyone has already said it. Fantastic player and seems popular with the players as well. Love him.

[Red Shift]

The ride has been amazing, and although my heart is heavy, I fully understand that Bobby can’t stay. He’s moving on, and in his way, he’s giving us his best by doing so. 
 

A massive thank you from me, and absolutely all the best to you and yours, Bobby Firmino.

None of us will forget you.

Has there ever been a better front 3 for us? We have had some awesome strikers , Sir Roger, the Saint ,Keegan, The King, Rushie, Torres,Suarez. I don’t think we have had a trio though.

Barnes, Beardsley, Aldridge would be the closest.

I got goosebumps watching that. We really have been fucking spoiled these last few years. Thank you for the days, Bobby.

I fully trust Klopp to build another incredible team, and this time we will celebrate winning the league infront of our fans.

Bobby Firmino - The master of the perfectly-weighted pass.

I don't mind him leaving,BUT yet another free agent? Aren't these owners supposed to be business whizzes? We could easily command around 10 million in today's market for a player with his experience. No wonder we are pleading poverty when we don't recoup fees on saleable assets!

And to be fair, the season Suarez, Sturridge and sterling played together was a pretty tremendous forward line too. We've been blessed with so many over the years.

Wasn't that the season after Suarez, sterling and Sturridge?

Yes I think it was.

 

Suarez left in 2014 and Sterling left for City in 2015.

Sturridge would have been warming the treatment table.

 

We went from an embarrassment of riches up front to, well, an embarrassment really.

That front three of Balotelli, Borini and Lambert was diabolical.

Didn't sterling play a load of games at wing back? Rodgers was losing his mind that season.

Can't remember mate, he may well have done.

 

[Remmie]

Seems like he just wants to get his teeth into a new project

[sir roger]

Yeah, to see if he can shine somewhere else.

Without intent.

Rodgers either not rating Bobby or whether it was a power struggle against the transfer committee was scandalous. Glad he can leave here a legend.

Very, very pleased with Gakpo's Bobby impersonation these last few games. Hopefully we can find another gem in the market (or teach Jones or Carvalho to play that role) that can fill in next season. The false 9 is absolutely pivotal to how we play when we're at our best, and Nunez and Jota simply aren't the required quality in build up-play to master the role. I don't like Salah in there either (not just because the opposition are allowed to manhandle him without consequences, but that too). He's more about the give-and-go's that are more effective on the wing.

 

It makes such a difference to our defenders and midfielders when there's someone coming short with the ability to either flick/pass it 1st time, or turn with it like Gakpo has now on numerous occasions. He's probably even better than Bobby at shielding the ball (if not as silky on it) so really intrigued to see how he keeps developing in the roll.

 

That being said, I'm really, really hoping Bobby goes abroad, and preferably South America/MSL. I fear he'll do a Beardsley on us and continue playing great long after he leaves us. If I was Zerbi (Brighton manager), I'd have him on the phone yesterday, he'd suit them perfectly, as their wingers are turning into their biggest goal threats (much like Sadio/Mo), and they play even more of a possession-game than us.

 

Probably a too big step down club-size-wise, so he'll more likely end up in one of the big city clubs in Europe or back to Brazil. Best of luck to him whichever path he chooses.

[lebron]

....sob....

 

That header (along with the sweet nutmeg and cross from Trent) will probably remain my favourite moment of this season. I might change my mind if we miraculously claim 4th ahead of the Mancs.

 

Still our best forward player (at least not named Salah, even that is debatable imho). He's 3rd in non-penalty goal/assist contributions per minute this season behind Haaland and Rashford, ahead of Salah and de Bruyne...

 

Will be the toughest loss since Fowler left for Leeds for me, and I absolutely hated when both Alonso and Suarez left. One of my all-time favourite Liverpool players. Hopefully he can be convinced to change his mind.

He's still better than Jota.
