I cant think of another player like him ive ever seen,touch,vision and workwise. He will dog the ball back when nobody else would think to do it. It dosent always come off when he is trying things but he tries again to make that opening. Peter the great had half his game for us,cant think of another in any team who has it all though.

He changed the fucking game.

Not that we should have been loosing to this lot, but Bobby changed the fucking game.

He plays like he owns the field and he does. Created both goals for Sadio and as soon as he came on, the game changed. He plays so well between the lines and is just an overall nuisance to any team. I agree with Klopp, aint nobody like our Bobby in the whole wide world.

Like when Xabi Alonso was here, he is what makes the particular system tick. Even when he has a bad individual game by his standards, he generally makes it work for the team as a whole

Getting a replacement for him is almost impossible. Havertz is possibly the closest type of player

He was like a pro coming on in a sunday league match and not taking it seriously but still  taking the absolute piss.

Normally a player can look great on tubes, but one of the things that's encouraging for me is just the amount of youtube videos on him

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

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

Probably easier to get some more mobile midfielders. Our midfield of Hendo, Fab and Milly are pretty slow.

We have them in Keita and Ox. The issue is getting them fit and on the pitch at the same time.

If we have them playing, Bob will do more damage in the box, rather than having to drop down to midfield to assist.

Incredible player. Will never get the headlines ahead of Mo, Mane, VVD etc. but absolutely the most important player for us in the middle and final thirds. Wouldn't trade him for any player in the world.

Has started this season looking sharper than ever. I think when he gets the first goal (and he’s been unlucky it hasn’t come already) there could be quite a few to follow this season. Won’t do us any harm if there’s a 3 way go for top scorer.

 I think the Copa America tournament might be beneficial for him. He usually comes back from summer break a bit chubby and unfit. But right now he looks like he is in great shape.

I think we realised when he came on and changed the game just how important he is to this team. Possibly the most important player in my opinion

He's amazing. I've always maintained he's our most important attacking player and still do. Someone said the other day, and I thought they were spot on, that this could be the season where the world realise just how good he actually is. I know we all know that like. It's just the little pokes, rolls, dinks, feints that get me. He actually makes me laugh watching him play.

He was so good the instant he came on that we became a bit sloppy (via Henderson and Salah) with finishing chances, because they expected that he could just lay on a good goalscoring opportunity almost every time he had the ball (as he did in his first ten minutes)

Some of his skill just makes me crack up laughing. Always remember his favourite player was Ronaldinho and you can see it in how he plays

Those 2 assists were unreal last night, having the presence of mind to play in Mane for the first was amazing but the execution of the pass for the 2nd was incredible, the fact he nutmegged his man and played the pass into the perfect positon for Mane to just finish first time is crazy

Yeah that was me. Feels like his year doesn’t it? Where the stigma of him being the slightly slower, less prolific attacker is finally put to bed. Could even see Brazil experiment with tweaking their system a bit with Bobby as the fulcrum as opposed to a standard 9.

It really does mate yeah, when you see the impact he has on a game like the other day, a high profile game, everyone will soon see what we all know anyway. He must be an absolute dream to play alongside not just for the forwards but the midfielders and defense too.
