Topic: Roberto Firmino

[Aldo1988]

Considers taking the piss out of the 'he's finished' brigade

Give the man a 3 year contract.  Actually, he can go on for 4-5 more years with his touch, skill and confidence.

[Ghost Town]

Bobby is so boss at football, and as a side job also helps identify people who know fuck all

[Aggro Berlin]

Fantastic revival by Bobby, completely unexpected in terms of scoring given the last few seasons but delighted, hope it continues. If this is his last year, then hopefully he ends it well.

[Funky_Gibbons]

It’s probably no coincidence he played the 14th fewest minutes last season and has started the season looking one of the freshest.

[robertobaggio37]

I find it hard to believe we’ll let him leave on a free, would be utterly stupid that (provided he’s not asking for a 5 year extension)

[Crosby Nick]

The Firmaissance continues.

[James...]

Now tonight was vintage Bobby.

Why have we abandoned this style of #9.

[Ray K]

He was put on this earth to bring us joy.

[Clint Eastwood]

Just love this guy.

[Bend It Like Aurelio]

He’s made it all possible. Really happy for the lad.

[Caligula?]

He's single handedly keeping our season alive isn't he? 

[tubby]

Everything is going in for him, you love to see it.

[rafathegaffa83]

Boss.

[Ghost Town]

I find it hard to believe we’ll let him leave on a free, would be utterly stupid that (provided he’s not asking for a 5 year extension)

Pretty sure he's said he's happy and his family are settled and he doesn't care about a big contract or anything.

[The G in Gerrard]

We should keep him.

[ac]

Brought back the years today. Perhaps playing for a contract is driving him on like it did for Salah last season. I like many have perhaps written him off to early

[Tobelius]

That pass was him taking the piss,oh Bobby 

[Raid]

Majestic.

[tubby]

We should keep him.

Disagree, think he's on one of his scoring hot streaks, but his overall game isn't what it was and he's not the same pressing monster of 5 years ago.  He gave the ball away too much today, simple passes going astray, and he's not going to keep up this scoring form, we've seen it before.

[So… Howard Philips]

A lovely footballer, so cool on the ball.

Someone previously pointed out he didn’t play as many minutes as the others last season and it’s showing.

[4pool]

   Bobby IS Boss 

[Robinred]

Just love him to bits. And I’ve consistently posted that given his game isn’t, nor has ever been, about pace, we should value his contributions and keep him.

[James...]

This is the probably correct but watching him do a very good 17/18 tribute act tonight made me more confused why we decided not to try find someone who could be the next Firmino and instead go after a #9 who’s literally the complete opposite.

 

[RedSince86]

That cheeky assist for Nunez was pure Bobby.

Looks like he wants to be on the plane for Qatar, which is good for us as he's playing brilliantly.

[telekon]

Absolute filth to set up Nunez

Incredible composure.

[redbyrdz]

He's just a fantastic footballer. Love seeing that smile back!





I'll never understand why people write him off all the time. Was wondering how long it'll take, but ah, they're already on him again

[Ghost Town]

He was put on this earth to bring us joy.

Yep. His glorious smile is a metaphor for his life's work

[The G in Gerrard]

Can't see who we can get that'd be a replacement and what he brings to the squad. I wouldn't bemoan it although countless others would.

[NarutoReds]

My man of the match. The architect of tonight, in my opinion. Keep driving the team.

[Too early for flapjacks?]

Fell out of our starting 11 last year and also the Brazil squad and got a proper summer break having been run into the ground for a couple of years. Looks like he's benefiting from all of that and it's very I'd imagine it's going to be very tempting to offer him a 1 year extension.

[PaulF]

The Firmaissance continues.

It's not catching on.

He's a special talent. He's infectious. I think others have pointed out he seems to have lost the ability to put in the workrate of his prime, but he can do things with a ball others can't even dream of .
Definitely one for my legends team.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Bobby is pure sex

[HeartAndSoul]

Seems to be more clinical this season but lost a yard when it comes to pressing. That pass to nunez was filthy.

[Sat1]

Love this guy.

Start him Sunday?

[BobPaisley3]

Love this guy.

Start him Sunday?

First name on the sheet.

[didi shamone]

Makes football look easy.

[4pool]

Bobby has been criticized for not scoring goals. Those that did that wouldn't hear about what Bobby brings to the team.

Bobby is now scoring goals. So, to find the negative, they point to loss of pace, not pressing.

Bobby can't win with some of his critics.

He just impresses Jurgen and his teammates. Those are the ones who count.

[RyanBabel19]

Are people really complaining about an aging forward not being able to press as well as he could years ago while he scores the goals they used to complain he didn't score enough brilliant

[nerdster4]

Really very impressive . I want to look at those performances in the new year thinking that they helped put the brakes on things sliding out of control

[Hedley Lamarr]

I’ve said it before, Firmino smiling his way through a match is the best sight in football. Absolutely adore him.
