He is beginning to look a really good signing now. I love how calm he is when taking a shot, I still don't know how he got that first goal in the net.

Pretty sure I read that his finishing ability and his shooting is the best part of his game.

[FlashGordon]

No matter how much you repeat it, no one is buying that he was poor before his goal 

[MonsLibpool]

ahh see you already revised 'very poor' to just 'poor'

Ok. What's your argument?

[In the Name of Klopp]

I thought he was very poor before his first goal. Hopefully, this helps his confidence.

Both finishes were exceptional.  He made them look routine.

Both finishes were exceptional.  He made them look routine.

Our finishing in general was very good. Mo's volley, Gakpo's dink and Bobby's weren't easy chances.

[RedBec1993]

He’s so cool infront of goal, superb finishes today!

[A-Bomb]

Reminds me of Van Persie, in the sense he's got great footwork - and clearly has a very strong right foot (as Van Persie did a left) - not the quickest, but quick enough.

Loving the development of exploring the spaces between the lines and the addition of the pressing game....he has every opportunity to become a massive player for us.

Should have signed for the Mancs, not for us, said Van Horseface

It was only a few weeks ago the Mancs said they'd dodged a bullet by not signing him. That bullet has hit them all in the arse today.

Chipping/dinking a ball that’s running from behind you is a pretty tricky skill. Made it look so easy.

Then add the tight angle, with the goalkeeper closing, to the mix

[Lynndenberries]

Two incredible finishes. There’s a good balance with him, Nuñez, and Salah in attack.

Didn’t think we’d see a finish similar to Coutinho’s, but he managed to replicate it.

[RedMan89]

He had a great second half. The bar set for for him is just inexplicably high. He needs build on this and have similar performances for the rest of the season. It's unfortunate for him he still has the weight of expectations from fans.. It's just era of the *trio* were just so damn good.

[shank94]

Forget the goals, this lad got stuck in at every instant. I did not understand the transfer at the start but we have signed the best Firmino replacement we could.

[Asam]

Our finishing in general was very good. Mo's volley, Gakpo's dink and Bobby's weren't easy chances.

The team had a mental block, the first two goals released the tension in the side and the rest comes natural

[Fiasco]

I don't know why we signed him, I don't know what he does.

[afc tukrish]

Quite good in the air, also, nodding balls down to runners all game.

[plura]

I don't know why we signed him, I don't know what he does.

Yep, it seems he’s in a lucky streak atm. Besides the goals, good finishing, good shooting, great technique, good link up play and passing, fairly quick and agile, can play wide, false nine, target player,  what is he actually good at?

[classycarra]

That chip was fucking delightful.

That was a special finish. Was mad that Shreeves thought the first was the better finish in the interview post match.

Reminded me a bit of Coutinho chipping it past de Gea on his line at an angle too (at OT in the Europa league), although this one was first time with a ball coming at a tough angle.

His technique has been consistently great since arriving.

[RyanBabel19]

Mad given time a player looks class

Superb

[robertobaggio37]

We made him look better than he is. Too slow to ever be an elite wide player like Antony and Sancho.

[johnathank]

If I tell my missus I bought a watch because it was on discount instead of paying the heating bill, she’d have some concerns. It doesn’t matter if he was a bargain, we needed other things.

Cracking watch, to be fair. A proper Submariner with no date. Couldn’t say no.

[DelTrotter]

4 in 8 in the league, can't remember many 90mins in there either. Very good start. Nice movement for both goals too, hopefully many more of those to come.

[Bread]

Really getting into the groove now. Only going to get better.

[Lynndenberries]

Good thing he’s not playing wide then.

[Samie]

Sancho and pace should never be in the same sentence. 

[LifelongRed, Sussex]

He’s a confident f@cker when cutting in.

[MonsLibpool]

He struck it really well.

[richmiller1]

You can see why his finishing might have piqued the interest of our analytics guys. Absolutely sensational touches today. Looks like he as a lot of goals in him

[Zlen]

Damn boy.

[KirkVanHouten]

I've watched that second goal so many times. The finish is outrageous. The first was great too, cutting in and driving that ball into the bottom corner. I thought his whole game today was excellent, he was constantly involved in the build up.

Similar to this

[Clint Eastwood]

He’s getting better and better each game. I can see what he’s bringing in that role. That goal really lit a fire under him and he was everywhere after that.

[Bergersrightwingviews]

Superb today. Brilliant at stitching things together and finishing things off as well. Showed his pace today too.

The finish for his second was scarcely believable. World class goal that. 

[Fiasco]

In case you didn't know, I was being incredible sarcastic and I'll post the same thing every time he scores. Because I was lectured about him being a pointless signing and not fitting in etc

[I've been a good boy]

Some posts from a few pages back are embarassing, if you're not banging them in in your first 2/3 games then you're considered a flop. Saw him at the World Cup, he was quality.

Reminds me of Dele Alli.

Absolutely ridiculous use of vital funds when we needed a midfielder or two.

Should be 6th choice when everyone was fit.

If Origi started 6 games I'd expect 2 goals.

We could've just kept Origi and 40 mil.

Wonder where this guy is now.
