Firmino

[redhorizon2]

Saw some of the highlights of yesterday's game and he looks as though he is coming on leaps and bounds. With the shortage of strikers and his past record surely he should be leading the line whilst Benteke and Sturridge are out?

 

[Oncy]

He had much of the Suarez about him yesterday.

 

[superchimp]

There's a player there.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Once he gets a runs of games, he'll be fine ... The class is there.

 

[Mors]

Looking at what the boss has said, I don't think he's ever likely to be played up top by himself or a partnership. But yeah, he's looking good, and hopefully he can start to add some end product to his game over the next few weeks when the strikers come back.

 

[reuque]

Humble chap too. There's a clip of him looking flattered almost handing back the Man of the Match champagne awarded to him.

 

[Halmeister]

He looked very good from what I saw. Lovely first touch.

 

[localny]

Thank god he's a committee signing?

Nah. He was actually saying " WTF ! Prosecco ? Where the fuck is the Krug ?

He'll be ace. Klopp will get the best out of him. As Andy said, reminded me a bit of Suarez actually.
That nutmeg in the first half aswell. Christ.

 

[tomasjj]

Should have played Ibe in instead of shooting in the first half.
Decent game overall.

Phew! I was worried for a second that we had wasted £29m

Yeah, he's starting to enjoy himself and I think he's gonna love it under Klopp.

AGAIN.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Didn't see the game but good to hear he impressed as he has been very meh so far considering what we paid and that Youtube video 🙂

 

[Judge Jules]

He hasn't had a proper chance till now. Rodgers barely played him, and stuck him out wide on the rare occasions he got a run out.

We only have one central midfielder who looks good wide (Milner), which considering our lack of width & depth of central midfielders, is unfortunate.

Fucking predictable though, & an indictment of how little forward planning has been used when buying players.

I'll be disappointed if Firmino doesn't get the start on Saturday.

 

[Jack D Rips]

I suspect the fact that he played 80 minutes on Wednesday and Coutinho was rested, means that he wont start

I'm fairly sure you're right, but I'd take a slightly tired on form player over a rested out of form one.

The positive is he should get a run out second half against tired legs, of course, but I'd like to think we could get that lot on the ropes starting quickly & scoring early instead.
