We're in trouble then! Salah may have many qualities, but clinical finishing doesn't seem to be one of them!

I disagree. Thought the chance he missed last night was harder than it looked. He may take a while to get going, but he will bang them for us eventually.

He's scored 1 in 2. Calm down.

Bobby, meanwhile, is also doing splendidly.

the only player with a head above his shoulder in the squad. never ever take him off during the game.

Bobby's thread on page 2, can't be having that.

One of the treats about going to the game is watching him - a bit like observing Masch all of those years ago. Seeing an opposite player making confident progress with the ball and you just know Bobby's nothing having it, he'll battle and disrupt all over the fucking park with unrivalled endeavour. His own tenacity is only matched by his own skill with the ball at his feet. Indeed, the ball doesn't even have to be at his feet to make it useful, as a ball travels in a straight line he'll move his body to perplex the inferior opponent.

He truly is a wonderful footballer.

3 games 3 1v1s created. It's a routine for him these days.

You can't even afford to rest him now because he's practically our only source of creativity. In the absence of Phil and Adam it was a huge mistake imo to play him wide. He has to be central whether it's 8 or 10 but he needs options around him and not be trapped by a sideline.

Not one for a quiet celebration after his first goal against his old team, is he?

Some of his footwork is just gorgeous

Seen some amazing individual displays at Anfield in the last 10 years, that wasn't far off em! Brilliant.

Wool · « **Reply #4773 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:37:43 pm »

Fantastic performance. I just wish he was better at taking chances, but it doesn't really matter when the rest of the team is scoring for fun thanks to his intelligence! He's an absolute monster when he's on it.

Tactical player with brilliant technique. I fucking love him.

BazC · « **Reply #4776 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:39:51 pm »

Loving his confidence on the ball. Can't wait for Lallana and Coutinho to be playing behind him, Mane and Salah. We're going to have a lot of fun watching that set of attackers...

Agree. Incredible performance he causes absolute havoc in defences

SerbianScouser · « **Reply #4778 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:42:07 pm »

On a totally different level this year.

Getting another quick option around him was a stroke of a genius, it elevated his game surrounding him with tons of pace. He's now consistent and experience of playing as false 9 previous years makes him understand his role that much better. Since Bayern game he's on a Suarez level of genius in the final third.

Trump's tiny tiny hands · « **Reply #4779 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:42:57 pm »

He absolutely roasted their defence with actual fire. I saw flames from this kids feet tonight.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #4780 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:43:15 pm »

Reads the game exceptionally well

His vision is second to none and tonight was a display of why Klopp is so insistent on the false 9. Look how many times he dropped deep or wide and picked a perfect pass, regardless of whether it was a pass that needed to be played quickly or he had time to look up and analyse the field before playing it he knew what he needed to do and executed a sublime pass. He draws players in then plays it into the space for the onrushing attackers

I said it before and i'll say it again, my favourite liverpool player

Fiasco · « **Reply #4781 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:43:46 pm »

His best game for us? Outstanding tonight, a level above the rest.

United fans will start singing about him more than they about Paul Scholes in no time.

What the hell was that celebration about Bobby lad?

Such a good player, can't wait to see him, Mane, Salah and Coldinho start together.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #4786 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:48:24 pm »

Haha stevie loves him

Good to see him getting credit from a pundit, probably the first time i've seen someone talk him up really

JD. · « **Reply #4787 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:49:03 pm »

What a footballer.

Delighted he capped it with a goal.

Dench57 · « **Reply #4788 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:49:59 pm »

That assist was such a touch of class

L.Suarez · « **Reply #4789 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:51:51 pm »

Henderson showing his maturity giving his striker a chance to net in a goal for confidence. And all that on top of a brilliant performance by Bobby, he went a gear up so far this season.

Szemerényi · « **Reply #4790 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:53:40 pm »

Firmino deserves as much respect as Mane and Coutinho. He'll be one of the best players in the world, if he continues to develop.

PoetryInMotion · « **Reply #4791 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:53:54 pm »

Wow! What a player! Absolutely indescribable at times today and tore Hoffenheim a new one. When other players are able to read his game, he seems several notches even better, as was the case today. The way he links up with others and his touches are sheer class.

Arsenal aren't new to his talents as well and should be feeling vary of him this weekend.

Lone Star Red · « **Reply #4792 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:54:25 pm »

A goal and an assist to go along with relentless pressing and some incredible footwork in the final third.

He wears the number 9 quite well.

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #4793 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:55:01 pm »

Probably his best game in that position (for a long time anyway), needs to start tucking away those chances in the six yard box though. Missed one in both games.

Some of the times
He goes down the line with extreme speed
Some of the times
He takes the ball on his toe and makes eyes bleed
His mind clicks to Homocide
Goals fly
Ladies cry
A lot of Mancs die
G-style

If I see a Liverpool fan doubt him again I’m going to tear their head off. He’s fucking brilliant!

There was a point in the second half where I decided Barcelona had tapped up the wrong Brazilian. Imagine him with Suarez and Messi. But they can fuck off.

slaphead · « **Reply #4797 on:** August 23, 2017, 09:56:04 pm »

Thought Firmnio's performance tonight was just beautiful, beautiful. I love how he has the ability to just gently play the ball rather than put his foot through everything. Absolutely fantastic. You appreciate him so much more when you have wide forwards who seem to enjoy scoring as much as ours
