I was fuming when he missed that chance because the keeper was basically already on the floor and all he had to do was lift it, then he goes and does that a few minutes later

All forgiven Bobby

I think the goal wouldn’t have been given by VAR. Bobby was offside

I don't think he was. There's a replay from behind the goal that shows he was behind at least one defender.

Two bits of play last night that showcased how hard he works and how sublime his skill is.

The first was his role in our second goal. Not just the fact that he avoided a collision with Salah in the build-up but that he then bust a gut to get in front of Rice and made sure he was there for a pass or a rebound. The second was his astonishing take after Trent had hit his own post.

Yup, was a moment of madness at the back and we scramble the ball away with Bobby just, I don't even know, Cruyff-turning on a ball in the air(?) to bring it under control and calm everything down.

You forgot his role in the penalty. his sublime pass to Origi in the box

Amazing

Incredible game today from Bobby.
Relentless, creative, sharp, unselfish, hardworking and oh so slick.

Some absolute filth again today. Starting to think he’ll wait for the day we wrap up the title to score at Anfield

That pass back to Henderson for the second goal... the awareness, the accuracy, the strength, the technique, the vision... no wonder he was pleased with it.

rebel23 · « **Reply #10539 on:** February 1, 2020, 05:23:00 pm »

Was he MOTM? There were a few contenders today...

AmanShah21 · « **Reply #10540 on:** February 1, 2020, 05:24:45 pm »

Hattrick of Assists now gets him to the 2nd highest assist maker spot in the team. His link up with Salah was mesmerising today. Its a shame not more teams will have the cojones that Soton showed because they really had a go and could have gotten something if they'd finished better in the first half. Much better than sitting with 10 behind the ball and drowning the game out hoping for a dodgy counter. Good luck to them too!

liverbloke · « **Reply #10541 on:** February 1, 2020, 05:26:41 pm »

Absolutely class player.

Y'know, you never see him diving or play acting or wasting time with false injuries - he's too good for that.

Natural talent. A touch most players dream of having.

Fuckin Fantastic Firmino!

There's very little he can't do. He is astonishing at times.

Hoenheim · « **Reply #10548 on:** February 1, 2020, 05:52:19 pm »

Absolutely brilliant today, he seems to have even more tricks up his sleeve this season.
Is that 10 assists in the premier league this season ?

slotmachine · « **Reply #10549 on:** February 1, 2020, 05:57:37 pm »

A manager's dream. A good stat i heard today in 10 games we have won by the odd goal Bobby has scored the winner in 5 of them.

He started the season with some of his best football for a couple of months, faded a bit for a while and then got back to his best in December and has stayed there since. Great game bringing everyone into play. His touches and game intelligence are out of the world and it irks me when opposition fans and pundits call him a striker, No. 9 or center forward (even though he wears No. 9). When will people realize that he is not a striker. He needs to be assessed like how the likes of Rivaldo, Bergkamp and the likes were. Not a striker, but not a pure attacking midfielder as well. Kind of like a Deep Lying Forward.

Linudden · « **Reply #10552 on:** February 1, 2020, 07:07:43 pm »

Three assists is a top yield This anomaly that he hasn't scored at Anfield all season but banged them in away from home is also rather curious!

Watching him play fulfils me inside.

He really moves like a Ronaldinho-9onaldo hybrid.

I wonder what effect all this fucking brilliance is having in Brazil?

As I understand it Firmino never had the weight behind him that most other Euro-exiles had. He left Brazil too early for that. Coutinho left his home country early too, but not without making a big impression at Vasco da Gama. Lucas Leiva came to us as Brazilian player of the year and an icon of Gremio. But Bobby left as an unknown. No one was rooting for him to do well in Europe and hold up the prestige of the parent team. No one was lobbying for him to make the Brazil national squad.

Yet here is. Not just the greatest Brazilian forward, but a contender for the greatest footballer in the world.

And Liverpool has made him. Not Real (sic) Madrid or Barcelona or Benfica. There must be a lot of confused and bewildered people in Brazil at the moment. But what an education for them.
