Bobbys a great footballer but he isn’t a “wonderful technician”, and that right there is the problem.

I thought Rodgers bought him?

No666 · « **Reply #9644 on:** August 9, 2019, 07:02:41 pm »

From the Echo at the time of Rodgers's sacking:

Rodgers was the driving force behind signing the likes of Fabio Borini, Joe Allen, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Rickie Lambert, Danny Ings, James Milner and Christian Benteke, while the other members of the committee championed the suitability of players such as Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho, Sakho, Emre Can, Moreno, Luis Alberto, Iago Aspas, Lazar Markovic, Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino.

Rodgers clearly didnt fancy him, when he played he was just put out on the wing where he is pretty much pointless.

Bobby is so skillful it's ridiculous

Nogg3000 · « **Reply #9647 on:** August 9, 2019, 08:59:26 pm »

Looks razor sharp. Small sample but shoe in for both POTY awards on this form.

I thought he played really well today.

Schmidt · « **Reply #9649 on:** August 10, 2019, 12:54:18 am »

He should skip preseason more often, he's been fantastic since he came back.

The chest turn volley.

The mid air double kick pass.

MotM for me. Fucking brilliant. Unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.

Bobinhood · « **Reply #9652 on:** August 10, 2019, 01:46:50 am »

Ya he was good today think he might go up a level this year, if you think that's possible. Looks like its all natural to his Brazilian self.

For me he was amazing in 17/18 but didn't hit those heights in 18/19. He looked very sharp in the first half, he's such a joy to watch when he's on it.

Is there a compilation of his game anywhere? Some of his touches yesterday were ridiculous. My MOTM easily.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #9655 on:** August 10, 2019, 10:14:57 am »

He did a bit of skill in midfield that was pure filth.... pure filth...

na fir dearg · « **Reply #9656 on:** August 10, 2019, 10:18:07 am »

I don't think these Norwich players would have come up against the likes of Firmino before, at some stages they just couldn't get near him at all, brilliant performance and unlucky not to bag a couple

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #9657 on:** August 10, 2019, 10:19:19 am »

For a second in the move that ended with his volley that Krul saved, he thought about the overhead kick. Damn i wish he did it

The Test · « **Reply #9658 on:** August 10, 2019, 10:51:01 am »

He’s an elite attacking mid and an elite striker in one body. Some of the shit he was doing yesterday was ridiculous. Feels like maybe this year the world is going to realise what a uniquely talented player he is.

ScubaSteve · « **Reply #9659 on:** August 10, 2019, 11:04:33 am »

Bobby was on a another level with his technical ability..he had the work rate to match

Tobelius · « **Reply #9660 on:** August 10, 2019, 11:23:25 am »

Not many can do what he did with that cross from Trent (?) that take was something beautiful.

farawayred · « **Reply #9661 on:** August 10, 2019, 04:09:16 pm »

That chest and turn was brilliant and deserved a goal. It wasn't far from it either, Krul made a great save.

But he stole an almost certain goal when the ball was going to Origi's legs just a yard out of the line...

testies · « **Reply #9662 on:** August 11, 2019, 12:11:27 am »

Stole haha, wtf?

Did Origi even call for it in the first place. Firmino is about the least selfish (good) forward I’ve ever seen play for us

Yeah that was on Origi for not demanding it and putting himself through the ball, not Bobby.

I feel bobby is going to have a corker of a season, i reckon he'll score 15 goals

Jesus. Football porn. Imagine if we were linked with this player and found this video.

I mean he's good... but he's no Calvert-Lewin is he? #combinedXI

jonnypb · « **Reply #9668 on:** August 13, 2019, 12:43:46 pm »

Read a great quote that someone wrote on social media. Watch the game, you don't see Firmino. Watch Firmino, you see the whole game.

He's just pure quality and the most underrated player about.

Incredibly important to this side. No player like him in the world

Been a long time since I've seen a sub alter the course of the match so drastically. The guy remains criminally underrated.

harryc · « **Reply #9674 on:** August 14, 2019, 11:47:06 pm »

So important to our attack it’s frightening to think if he gets injured.

Raid · « **Reply #9675 on:** August 14, 2019, 11:50:12 pm »

He's somehow found another gear from somewhere. Such a wonderful football player and clearly tipped it back in our favour after his introduction.

I wouldn't swap him for anyone. Mo is the superstar and Mane oozes class, but Bobby is our most important player.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #9676 on:** August 14, 2019, 11:52:22 pm »

And that's why he's my favourite player in world football, what a talent

El Lobo · « **Reply #9677 on:** August 14, 2019, 11:53:53 pm »

In hindsight, how lucky were Spurs that he wasn’t fit for the CL Final? It’d have been a massacre if he’d been on it like he has this season

Ravishing Rick Dude · « **Reply #9678 on:** August 15, 2019, 12:00:17 am »

Changed the game when he came on. Well done Bobby

trimore · « **Reply #9679 on:** August 15, 2019, 12:01:02 am »

He absolutely added an extra physical dimension when he came on, I found his contribution to the midfield even more vital than his attacking abilites. We still created well without him in the first half, but were overwhelmed in midfield until he came on. His ability to consistently break down tight defenses AND solidify shaky midfields against strong opposition is, without hyperbole, pushing him into legendary status at this club.
