Roberto Firmino Player Thread (F)

he is the nerve centre of the team when it is really buzzing when he pulls the strings the opposition may as well give up he is just on a different level he is the Einstein in the team

He’s an incredible player and it’s no coincidence we have won so many games with him in the team. Fabulous footballer

Unfortunately it's a serious injury. Would be lucky to have him back for the busy December period.

Ah no. I was hopeful when he walked down the tunnel it wasnt too bad

More than 4 weeks according to Klopp

Yea, it really sucks. Hope he's back for the busy period around xmas and into January when we lose Mane and Salah for a few weeks.

Fucks sake.

4 Weeks from his hammy is just about up. Anyone have any info on his progress ? Hoping it won't be long before he's back in contention.

6 weeks more likely timeframe would imagine Leicester game in Qtr final a good run out

Need him back asap mate

In fairness, his injury might end up being 'good' for us (all things considered). We managed to cope without him, and it means he'll be fresh for when Mo and Sadio go off to the AFCON.

Seems to have lost a bit of pace to me.

Was never be quickest bit seems to have slowed a little more.

Agree.

Likely this summer I feel.

Supposedly Barca are after him, and we would sell for ~£20m. Far too low for me.

I know he's not been playing as much recently but i still think he has plenty to offer. Unless we are going go after somebody a bit special as a replacement, no way we should sell him (unless a really big bid comes in).

Meh, the story was written by a Catalan pro-Barcelona newspaper. And they said Barca would be interested IF they can get him for €20m (~16.5m). Chances of that happening are basically nil.

Personally, I think Bobby has actually been very good this season. A lot better than the 2 previous campaigns.

Agree.

I think we are at the point where the squad needs a refresh. Not just one or two players, but multiple. Not just in terms of legs, but I also think a bit of hunger has gone.

Firmino is one I move on, he’s not really a bench player to bring on to change the game and our front 3 definitely needs freshening up - he’s the one to make way.

Plus the midfield needs work, so quite a few changes I’d be making come summer. I’d start this month personally but that won’t happen.

Bobby’s not going anywhere, hate to burst peoples bubble.

It will be Mane if anyone. If Mo does get a big new deal, there won’t be enough to go around to freshen up Sadio’s deal. I could see him being sold or wanting to leave.

One of them will be gone this summer. And given the choice, I’d be looking to move Bobby on but I think they’ve both lost a step.

Love Firmino, my fav player in the Klopp era.

Hope he stays and ends his career at Liverpool.

There was a play in the second half where he got past 2 players in the middle of the park with fancy foot work but after the turn he had no breakaway speed to get away from them and got caught up to almost instantly. That play stuck with me with how slow he looked.

Given how good Jota has been centrally i also see Bobby being the one to go in what is a needed front 3 refresh anyway.

Linked to real and barce, spanish source not sure how reliable....16 million the price mentoned, laughable

That's the one.

Exactly what put it in my head.
