Give the ball to Bobby and he will score..
Coming in to form just at the right time..
Scoring goals and assisting a few.
Yes he has not hit the heights of last season, but I think that is more to do with our change in emphasis in our style of play than Bobby himself...
Given what he offers to the team, love the fella.. could we ask for a better number 9?
Incidentally, is he our new 'God'.. si senor, translates as Yes Lord and his Stats suggest he is worthy of the title..
In his last six games, Bobby Firmino has scored four goals and notched three assists, being involved in seven big chances, scoring four, creating two and missing one. On top of that, in the last six games, Bobby’s stats per 90 are all above their season averages. His shots are up from 2.50 to 2.97, his dribbles are up from 1.57 to 1.92, his key passes are up from 1.40 to 1.57 and, his tackles are up from 1.12 to 2.27.
Focusing briefly on the league, over his last four league games, Bobby is averaging 0.71 xG/90 and 0.38 xG/90, compared to his season averages of 0.48 and 0.22 respectively, with his xG Chain/90 (1.58) and xGBuild/90 (0.51) also both above their averages (0.84 and 0.31 respectively).
These stats are all over an incredibly small sample size of course, and shortening them even further, Bobby is averaging 3.33 shots, 2 dribbles, 2.33 key passes and 3 tackles since his return from the international break, with four goal contributions across those three games, either scoring from or creating a big chance in every game.
