God-Like

[Snail]

One of the best players we’ve ever had.

[redgriffin73]

Absolute genius.

[dudleyred]

Incredible today

Genuine question is there anyone in world football with similar attributes as he’s by far and away our biggest miss when he’s out the side

[FlashingBlade]

First post modernist footballer.

[jepovic]

Fucking Fifas rating right off. Passing 80

He’s perfect for our system, he has the perfect foils in Mane and Salah in our front line- i think they are as close as you can get to a complete attacking trio, the sum is stronger than the individual parts

[Ghost Town]

Get your money on him winning PFA and FW Player of the Season this season. He's really on it

[deFacto please, you bastards]

The closest Brazilian player to Ronaldinho since he's retired in terms of audacity,vision,creativity,cheekyness and playing like he would on the street. No one like Bobby he's irreplaceable.

[him_15]

World class performance.

[RedForeverTT]

Shame that Neymar and him played in almost similar position and Brazil will always go with Neynar.

On a separate note, I feel Ox will be a good understudy for Bobby. Have the same kind of game intelligence plus the explosiveness that FIrmino do not have.

I don't know why, when I think of a Brazilian player similar to Firmino, I think of Rivaldo.

[RedForeverTT]

That's a lot of similarities in that both operates deep. I think Rivaldo has a better scoring record but rarely played out wide.

[rebel23]

Neymar can play on the left with Firmino central in a 4-3-3.  Does anyone know if Brazil do this?

[tornado]

Passes the eye test! The one about team play level without him and with him. There's gazillions of statistics out there to study this but this is the easiest case study.
And just to be clear, there are no other players who pass this test, in terms of impact of with him/without him, just Messj I think

[d.arn]

Came here for a gif of his assist... and nothing! 

Need to watch it on repeat! 

[jepovic]

Which one? He had about half a dozen brilliant passes

[Bolrick]

Has the be the best playmaking false 9 in the world today.

[d.arn]

Which one? He had about half a dozen brilliant passes

 But only two assists. One of which was ridiculous!

A guy from Brazil was my Uber driver in USA a month or so ago and I started talking football to him. I said that Firmino was one of the best players that I have seen.....he hadn't heard of him.

Just watch this and wait for somebody to post what you want.

Nobody more explosive than Bobby when he's hunting the opposition during a gegenpress...

Nobody...

[Kopenhagen]

He's just so good; an outrageous natural talent.

Going to have his best season yet for us, something tells me.

Looking good so far!

[princeoftherocks]

First post modernist footballer.

The 'no look' is definitely post-modern.

[soxfan]

 

[RyanBabel19]

On a complete other level this season so far. Looks like creating huge chances each and every game

[duvva 💅]

There should be some sort of parental advisory warning on his play this season. This was brilliant but there’s at least one moment like this in every game so far. Don’t all end in goals but it’s an absolute pleasure to watch.

Agreed. Looking forward to «every single skillmoves from Firmino 19/20», here’s to hoping.

[CHOPPER]

I'd shag the bastard, he's that ace.

[So… Howard Philips]

I can see him moving full time into midfield when he's in his early thirties.

What a player.

[Ycuzz]

As mentioned earlier, Shelvey just gives up

[Ycuzz]

I'd shag the bastard, he's that ace.

but maybe... he won't shag you..

[Shaved Crossbar]

As mentioned earlier, Shelvey just gives up

Bobby has dazzled greater players than Jonjo, but Jonjo isn’t known to be the most active

[lgvkarlos]

 Probably be the most skilful player in the prem, who also tackles like a top defender.
Also a joy to watch a player who clearly enjoys football.

[Waka]

Absolute joy to watch. Dinks, through balls, vision and movement.

Everybody needs to see this man in the flesh

[Chakan]

Uploaded to pornhub

[Floydy]

Marvellous. So pleased he is ours

[Alan B'Stard]

That is sex!!

[Illmatic]

Just a world class player nothing more needs to said.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

33/1 to be PFA player of the season - consider it an investment!
