Roberto Firmino - signed the silky swine

[localny]

Shit loads:

12, 12, 15, 15, 22, 28, 49(!), 12

111 goals in 159 apps.

Torres numbers were low as well. But he had Stevie G supplying..

 

[dantes]

Isn't that literally every footballer in 2015

You mean with the exception of Emre Can.

The swarthy sultan (no racist) doesn't need Ryan's style tips to impress.

Yeah, if you look at Suarez first 4 years, bearing mind that's in all comps, it was fairly modest. Then he just went from strength to strength, in a notoriously high scoring league. Over all though his career stats read 245 in 406, that's fucking amazing.

 

[mark1975]

Shamelessly nicked from Binny's post:

His tally of 21 assists over the past two seasons is more than any other Brazilian in the top five European leagues. Only Wolfsburg’s Kevin De Bruyne (74), exceeded Firmino’s tally of 69 key passes from open play in the Bundesliga last term.

To this day I don't know what a key pass is.

Or a "clear cut chance."

[article=http://optasports.com/news-area/blog-optas-event-definitions.aspx#sthash.SnHQpWLV.dpuf]Key Pass
The final pass or pass-cum-shot leading to the recipient of the ball having an attempt at goal without scoring.

Big Chances
A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score usually in a one-on-one scenario or from very close range.[/article]

So a key pass is a cum shot. 69 during a season isnt great... Thats just twice a weekish..

No, I'm serious. Most successful take ons involve some element of shoulder to shoulder contact, or similar.

I never understood this.

Isn't the ability to push your opponent out of the way with your shoulder ..really dependent on your lower body strength??

[Judge Jules]

Thanks, Your Madge, duly noted. Who'd have thought it?

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Moreno the leading defender on that list...odd.

 

[leftpeg]

He's pictured in the shirt! Shame I don't know how to post it!

 

[Woland]

It's from Liverpool's twitter feed and it looks like a photoshop

Have we been done here? He looks like a 14 year old school kid.

 

[Athens]

Hmmm... interesting Greek tattoo. Possibly it says "God is a believer". Need to see the rest to work out what he's trying to say. Unless he's telling us that god believes in him.

 

[Woland]

He looks like a massive STD.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I don't think god believes in me. That's ok though, the feeling's mutual.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Music on load, fuck me.

Yep.. awful too..

 

[Woland]

I just had a look and the distance from Brazil to Greece is about the same as the distance from UK to China, so he's just one of them cocksuckers who gets pinyin tattoos but shifted over south west a bit.
