Nice piece on Bobby...https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2020/jan/11/roberto-firmino-liverpool-tottenham-jose-mourinho"Firmino is a relentless presence on days such as these, a monster of the decisive away goal. This was his ninth goal this season, all of them away from Anfield. Five have been winners, a big-game, daddy-goal, title-driving level of efficiency.It is so easy to pick at the things Firmino is not. With 72 minutes gone Andy Robertson made an extraordinary run and somehow nodded a deep diagonal pass back across goal. Firmino wasn’t there, he was instead 30 yards away thinking about some other battle, and shrugging apologetically as the ball trickled away.He has never been a poacher. There was some talk last summer that Liverpool might even buy a new star centre-forward, someone to pump up those numbers. But Firmino’s lack of starriness disguises the fact he is the perfect part in this team, with the ability to pressor, to hold possession, to drop deep and sweep the ball either way, a player who has proved almost as revolutionary to the front line in this Liverpool era as Virgil van Dijk has to the back.What is he anyway? Firmino has been described as a false 9, but this doesn’t really do justice to it. If you want to go down the numberwang route he’s a bit of everything: nine, 10, 8, 11, even 4; a post-modern kind of striker for a disruptive age. Twice here he produced that swooping Capoeira‑style trap, pulling a long pass out of the air. Nobody else does this. It’s his move, the Firmino Sweep, his own cross-cultural take on the long-ball flick-on."
That first touch on the goal was ridiculous.
Couldn't believe the scrambling for him to be dropped earlier in the season. He's a fucking phenom. Probably my favourite player to watch of all time. Could watch the man do his taxes.
And that's not something you can say about Messi!
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks
How much was Bobby signed for?
Me.Given his talent I think he should score far more goals. He has only just turned 28 so there is still time for him to become calmer if front of goal. The talent is there he just has a habit of snatching at chances at time.
25 million. The base fee was 21M plus 4M for every time we made into the CL in the two seasons after the transfer (we only managed once) .
Just been baptised by Alisson.
Crosby Nick never fails.
You saw his Instagram story too then [emoji23]Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Felt a bit bad laughing at the video, but Alisson looking like he was crying at the end finished me off! Sorry lads.
If he stops scoring goals now I’m going to be mad. Very mad. On the other hand If he starts scoring like crazy - I may get baptized too.
Hang on, I've already promised to convert to Islam for Mo, this is gonna get complicated if we have to follow Bobby as well!
Its not illegal to have multiple religions right? Maybe frowned upon, but why not? And why is it called conversion, and not addition. You can have dual-citizenship, so it should be fine to have dual-godships.
Bobby was rubbing his eyes too as they lifted him up out of the water, didn't occur to me that it was anything other than chlorine but maybe it wasnt.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Because both Islam and Christianity believe in the same God. Try a religion that has multiple God's.
I attended a Roman Catholic School in the morning and Madrasa in the afternoon until the age of 18 - Hail Mary in the morning; Allahu Akbar in the afternoon. Haven't been struck down or immolated yet so I reckon you'll be ok
