That is the problem. He looks super tidy, that's it. He has no threatening attributes - skill, pace, dribbling ability. Yeah, his crossing is great but that doesn't help when the other two is Nunez and Salah. When the only thing people praise an attacker is for being tidy and the link up play, that is kinda indicates that the rest of the game is not upto the mark.
Before anyone says Firmino had similar periods of non scoring. Firmino at his worst was still a technically excellent footballer. He could dance when he wanted to, take the ball into tight spaces, press like anything, make space for others through intelligent runs.
Super tidy my arse.
He’s just crap. Even Jordan Ibe has one or two tricks. This guy has nothing but that boring Cruyff turn and even then he executes it in slow motion.
His agent’s good though. I’ll tell you that.
