Gonalons has a tendency to get caught on the ball at times playing as the 6 compared to Strootman & Rossi who protect their possessions far better. If they put him in from the start with Strootman out I suspect Bobby will terrorise him in particular.

Bobby give em hell lad

More than anything, I want him to turn that capoeira kick celebration into a goal. Imagine that jumping spinning kick to volley in a ball from the edge of the box. Pandemonium

[exiledintheUSA]

He'll score tonight.

Think Salah's output has made Firmino's numbers go under the radar a bit.

For a guy with his ridiculous work ethic, 27 goals and 17 assists are absolutely mental numbers.

44 goals and assists in 46 starts. Absolutely crazy stuff.

Kane for example has 38 goals and 5 assists from 43 starts. Similar output, but nowhere near the link up play and defensive contribution.

Firmino isn't a goal thief either.

So glad we got him on a long term deal. Wouldn't swap him for any number 9 in the world.

Firmino is doing all the dirty work upfield, and for me he's the most talented player currently in the team.

VVD-Keita-Bobby is going to be our strong spine, everything else is to support that spine.

[killer-heels]

Really stepped it up to an astonishing level this year. I would have been expecting/happy with him getting around 15-20 goals but he has surpassed that whilst not sacrificing any of the other facets to his game.

[El Denzel Pepito]

He's just boss.

There'll be strikers 10-15 years from now saying they watched Firmino as a kid and he was their idol

And they always supported Liverpool, until the photos of them in a Messi shirt come out!

Tifo Football on Firmino.

I don't remember the signing of him being questioned by many fans at all? Plus wasn't the fee £22m then the rest in add-ons?

and Kane doesn`t have tackling numbers that compare with the best defenders and defensive midfielders in world football.

Thierry Henry: "Roberto Firmino is the most complete striker in the league."

[BazC]

He’s arguably the most complete player in the league! I’m guessing Pep and Poch would love him as their spearhead, despite the talent they boast themselves. He’s that good.

Unbelievable season. One more game to go, Goal in the CL final and bring home Big Ears big ears.

[BabuYagu]

Ridiculous he is still talked about as the possible back up to Jesus for the world cup. As in, he isn't the favourite choice to be his backup, just one of the options.

I assume the others are the likes of Jo, Diego Tardielli, Fred and other absolute fucking dog shite that Brazil tends to take to the world cup to play as #9 and stink the fucking place out. WHAT THE FUCK BRASIL!

[farawayred]

Meh, keep it that way Brasil! The less Bobby plays in the summer, the more he’d come flying off the blocks come the season start.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

I seriously can't get enough of Bobby. Definitely currently my favorite player.

There's no doubt he deserves to be in the squad. I guess they probably pick others because Firmino isn't the traditional type of striker a la Ronaldo or Romario.

[leroy]

That's it right?  You get the feeling that if you put him anywhere on the pitch or in any role he would be quality.

This is not to say that Jesus isn't a pretty impressive talent, but I look at who they've got and just think - Isn't Bobby the perfect foil for pretty much any of these guys?  Wouldn't he be a better option to make the whole better?  Obviously it's Neymar + others, but I would've thought Bobby would be the best of the rest to maximise Neymar's attacking contribution and minimise any defensive requirements.

[CraigDS]

I just find it bizarre that they've not looked at his Liverpool displays and found a way for him to be in their first 11. Utterly bizzare.

Heard it said before with Firmino but not playing any top level football in Brazil hurts his reputation with fans and media.

I know it shouldn't make any difference to the manager but it seems to. It's not a problem that is unique to Firmino. I've heard the said same about other Brazilians who left for Europe at an early age. They just aren't in the conscious of the media and public in Brazil. Playing in Germany and England may not help as well. I suspect la Liga is more popular in Brazil than the Bundesliga or Premier League. Maybe a winning goal in a Champion's League final could change all this and announce him to the Brazilian public as a truly great player.

Bobby Firmino has been given the radar treatment. Curious to see what it looks like when a forward makes more tackles than most defenders and still has time to outscore the most expensive striker in the Premier League? Click here to see

[Lofty Ambitions]

Time to let go of Lucas and to put a new Brazilian face to my avatar (as my sig stays!).

Bobby Firmino!

 

[PIPA23]

so glad he is ours... incredible season he had, in shadow of Salah he did amazingly well for a player who was considered a winger - attacking mid in Germany...

im happy he signed a new deal!!!

[rscanderlech]

I was hoping we would sign Fabinho so that this huy would have a new buddy after coutinho left.

I think we’re trying to make Coutinho jealous

Fabinho, Allisson, Moreno new contract

[slotmachine]

I love him to bits but watching the final i didnt think he played well and watching the game again it was worse than i thought. He had probably our 2 best chances in the game while we were on top in the first 25 minutes. The first one when Milner and Mane played the great one two down the left and Milner hit a great cut back cross right to Bobby. He miscontrolled with is left foot and the ball goes behind him and he had the shot blocked by the swarm of Madrid defenders. He controls the ball like he usually does he has a good chance but the mis-control allowed the Madrid defenders to block and then TAA had the follow up shot. A minute later Robbo plays a great ball over the top and Bobby with Sadio alongside him are both running through on goal and Bobby just heads it straight through to Navas. It was so dumb and uncharacteristic he had time to control and shoot himself or he could have sucked the recovering Madrid defender in and played Mane in.

I know Babu has mentioned about Bobby's performance in the game thread and about he also didnt play well in the other finals against City and the Europa against Sevilla in 2016. Bobby will be pissed off he never impacted any of the finals. He has played great in a lot of big games so im a bit puzzled why he's struggled on Saturday and the other finals. Do you think the added pressure of the biggest club game in world football and a game were he could really push ahead of Jesus in the Brazil pecking order kind of overwhelmed him? He was doing some unlike Bobby things. He gave the ball away in the 1st half that left us really exposed in the transition and Ronaldo shot just over. I would be interested if anyone else was dissappointed with Bobby.

[red vinyl]

He had set an unbelievable standard this season for himself,in just about every aspect of his game.
I had him and Gini as key to this game but I’m not disappointed in him,Gini did okay but Bobby looked off his game. We all know what changed the dynamics of the game,so if we had the same players on the pitch up to 70 minute mark I think he would have settled down and did what he has done all season.

Thought the chorus to Blue Swede's Hooked on a Feeling would be a good choice for a potential Firmino song
