Other than some quite clearly sarcastic posts I haven’t seen anyone suggesting he is shit.

Craig it is a general undercurrent of any player threads i was talking about.

Jokes aside, we still haven’t found a suitable understudy for him.

Ox, Shaq and Origi has all had a taste of playing as a false 9 with varied success. Against Barcelona was the only game where I feel we didn’t miss Firmino. Most other times I just sense we were that one idea short when he is not playing or not playing well.

I guess if we couldn’t find a successor then then we just don’t play 4-3-3

I agree.
There is no player close to Firmino, as he's basically 2 for the price of 1.

When he's not playing,  I d rather we always go 4 2 3 1 as it suits the strengths of his current replacements (Origi, Shaq combo) with the reshuffle...

Unless...Minamino!

Minamino could well be a useful understudy. Certainly looks like one of the roles where he might thrive.

Easily the happiest for Bobby after the final. He had to put up with years of disrepect from the Brazilian establishment for not coming up through the traditional big clubs, it must have been incredible for him to score the winner against one of those clubs in the Club World cup final. This only months after winning the Copa America by leading the line for his country, what an amazing year for our Bobby. Nobody deserves it more than him.

I think winning that meant a lot to him that, scoring the winner(s) possibly more and I am utterly delighted for him it has to be said.  If I could have picked someone to score the winner today it would have been him.

Yep definitely. Makes it perfect that he's scored the winners in the semi and the final. And with two classy finishes.
