I said Bobby was finished😳😳😳😳😳😳. Shows what I know really

That's why Klopp is the manager.
He still brilliant. He starting to pick up more and more Muscle injuries is a concern but he can still do the job. He had a Brilliant goal

Jürgen would never say who his favourite player is, but I'd bet it's Bobby.

Yep. Simply the best. Loved his moment with the fans after the goal

Was really good tonight. Loved his finish.

I know he's had a knock, but he looks like he might have benefitted from the rest.
I think the same, can't stand him, but if you could have a £1million pound cheque or steve bruces head hollowed out and filled with pound coins which would you have?

Comes on, first touch is a block of Ramsdale trying to punt the ball upfield.

I agree. Hopefully, he can stay fit because he is the only one that offers what he does in our team.

Bobby is brilliant, an absolute must in the middle of the attack. Links up with the midfield so well, and brings the four attacking players on the wings in the game.

The finesse of touch for that goal was incredible. I don't whether it was his right or left foot, or what part of his right/left foot it touched (was it a left footed backheel or a right footed toe?) but it was absolutely gorgeous. That more or less settled the game and made the last half hour much less nervy.

Biggest praise i can think off is that the role should be names bobby's role

Not really a no 9 and also neither a traditional playmaker. But when you watch the game, he just makes it "flow" better.  Everything about it is unique to the individual. The moves he makes, the passes and the link up play. Uniquely bobby.

A role that just can't be duplicated.

So glad that he is back fit. Definitely will play a big role in our search for the quadruple.

He really changed that game last night. We looked better in the second half anyway, culminating in the first goal, but after Bobby came on it was like 'Right you've had a fairly easy hour, now you can deal with being pressed' and they just couldn't get out for a good twenty minutes.

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

I know Jota scored just before he came on, but thought Bobby changed the game for us tonight. Fantastic performance.

No point thinking he did, he %100 changed the game. I love Jota and Mane playing the 9 or False 9 but no one does it as good as Bobby, he is so good at it.

I hope he gets a contract extension along with the other 2.

Same here. Firmino has probably moved from being a guaranteed starter to someone who won’t start every week going forward. He still has huge value as last night proved.

It will be interesting to see if Firmino is willing to stay with his role potentially diminished. I really hope he stays and can easily see him getting 25-35 starts next season.

 If he did want to leave for more regular football then he’d be a good fit at Arsenal. The way they play and the players they have in the front 3, would really benefit from Firmino in that No.9 position.
I think Jookie might just be the best fisherman on this thread.

Was so good. He looked straight back to his best. Such a great player, love watching him.

Agree that maybe the rest did him good, but he also looked sharp just before he got injured.
