I swear there was a handball too

[Chakan]

It's been taken down. Too filthy.

Haha touche’

Really deserved a better finish

[Silverbird]

Haha touche’

Really deserved a better finish

Deserved a "happy ending".

[Zlen]

Mane needed to score there.

[killer-heels]

I am not someone who has favourite players but Firmino has definitely changed my mind on that concept. He is my favourite player and thats because of his joy in getting drunk and partying, a passion I share.

Also helps that he is good at football.

I hope you don't share his passion for outrageous attire when partying, some of the stuff he wore in Brazil in the Off Season was definitely outrageous.

That pass for Mane's chance was ridiculous, such a pity the United game came after the International Break, he was so sharper last night.

[Rush 82]

Honestly cannot recall a footballer as outrageous as he is on the field.

Certainly no one in this decade.

[Dr_Evil]

I swear there was a handball too

Agee...and forearm smash to the back of Sadio‘s head

[Fiasco]

He's got the touch of the Ronaldinho about him. His touches, his vision, the actual ability to pull the outrageous off.


Ronaldinho was on another level, but I'm talking about the creativity and ingenuity.

Lovely piece about Bobby's early years in the Guardian today.

If he maintains this season's ridiculous form for a few years and combining it with his hard working tendency and he may even hit Ronaldinho's level in terms of importance to the team. He's that good.

Just read this, it's brill! Must read. I like him MORE! HOW

Didn't even complain when he had nothing to eat. A hero.

How could anyone not love the crazy lifestyle he's got now as well, he knows what it's like to have nothing and he appreciates what he's got now.

Reading that Guardian piece on Bobby it's clear that he is a quiet and sensitive guy. Given this I noticed near the end of the game on Sunday Hendo was really bollocking him for losing the ball on the halfway line. Interestingly Bobby didn't return to the pitch at the end of the game (I couldn't spot him anyway). I know he's a grown man so he shouldn't be too bothered but I wonder if it affected him?

Great stuff

[kcbworth]

I thought at the time and still now, I have no idea how he physically did that!!

[jets red 44]

Amazing but rarely gets credit other than red supporters.

[redgriffin73]

I thought at the time and still now, I have no idea how he physically did that!!

It was pretty much in front of me in the ground and we were all just open mouthed like WTF!

[Barneylfc∗]

Don't think it was noticed at the time, but his pass to Salah on Sunday when Salah had the effort from outside the box was very similar to this. The guy is pure class.

Yep - and the fantastic thing about it is that it's not showboating for the sake of it, both are done to delay the pass that fraction of a second that allows Mo to get into the optimal space for receiving. Another example that springs to mind is the dragback flick one two he pulled off away at Southampton in the 17/18 season. Had to be a lifted flick to avoid the centrehalf and was pulled off to perfection.

[RedMichelFerri]

That Ceballos gif should be there. Just pure filth. What an incredible footballer.

That's the amazing thing about him, we see him do this stuff routinely yet he barely ever tries anything flashy that doesn't come off. He chooses his moments very well, and most of the time sees that the best thing for the team is to keep it simple.

[Longwood NY]

Is he a Liverpool front-line great? If not, what more will he have to do to become one?

For me unquestionably. Creativity, composure, finishing, the doggedness of Suarez without the nastiness. His 'lack' of goals being at the expense of the other work he does around the pitch linking play and tracking down is a trade-off I'd take any day.

He's like a combination of Bergkamp and Kuyt.

Get on bobby's Instagram story.

Love to but I don't know what that is.

FIFA 21 should try to implement his no look skill.

I was. Loved that he seems to be doing an accent on the word 'lad' and also that he starts cheering before anyone else!

[afc tukrish]

...and also that he starts cheering before anyone else!

Bobby knows...

[exiledintheUSA]

Bobby knows...

….give the ball to Curtis and he will score.

Hope that one pushes Bobby on a bit, he’s looked a bit out of sorts lately. Pleased to see him back among the goals.

Thought he was one of the best players on the pitch along with Mane and Van Dijk.

Definitely was in the second half.

Goals aside he has been magic this year.

The elastico for the 5th. Fucking hell Bobby, those defenders have families.
