He moves so smooth. Although not his best game, but still, whenever he's on the ball, gives me so much joy.

I just watched all 50/51? goals he's scored for us (https://youtu.be/CXBkDzNhjkU). I absolutely love this man!!!! He is my favourite player anywhere on the planet!! F**ck off Messi and Ronaldo (they both used to be good...) but .... we've got Bobby!!

In today's football, Firmino and Sterling are an epitome of what modern forwards. Although Sterling has a lot more pace, Firmino's vision is just unparalleled.

Was feeling nostalgic and watching some Baggio YouTube videos.

Not quite there yet for Firmino but very close. Closer than Coutinho used to be for us.

I wonder has led to such an improvement this season. Perhaps its the confidence gained from the Copa America win or perhaps his competitive instincts is kicking in after last season where he was clearly the weakest of the 3. What ever it is, he is approaching world class levels at the moment and is reminiscent of Suarez (albeit not as good) in his creativity and link up play
Probably a combination of that, the fact that his skills are creating openings and that the fans and coach know it is worth taking those risks. If he needs 6 goes at it per game to get one goal and the loss of the ball leads to less than a goal against them it's the kind of thing klopp will encourage.
I wonder if the no look is making it into the coaching manuals? I played five a side about ten years back against a lad that did it regularly. A gifted player in his own right, but it was so hard to defend against. It's a form of outrageous dummy I guess.
"All the lads have been talking about is walking out in front of the Kop, with 40,000 singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone'," Collins told BBC Radio Solent. "All the money in the world couldn't buy that feeling," he added.

The ball is glued to his feet but not like other player who has it glued to theirs (like Messi). There's something inherently different about how he carries the ball. No burst of pace or acceleration, just intelligent use of the body and his legs. And eyes behind his head. That's probably why he does the no look goals. We think he's not looking but the eyes behind his head are watching the ball go in.

So, not for Salah's 1st when the keeper could hold on to his header and Salah buried the rebound? I don't know what the logic is in that case.

Because it was a shot on target  and the keeper was the last one to touch the ball before Salah scored.

Think that technically goes down as an assist. Rightly or wrongly.
