I still think we would be better off having a proper striker in the side and even if we had one Bobby would still be one of the first names on my team sheet. His work rate is phenomenal.  Salah is stealing the show this season and sure to be player of the year but for me he just shades Bobby who is also having his best year for us.

he suits in Klopp's system to be honest, he's great at pressing. He won the ball in Ox's first goal, then pressed again. His link up play is really good and his touch is pretty good.

Sure he doesn't score as much as we want him to, but we got Salah who is doing a fantastic job at it. Let's hope he continues the run of form and hopefully once we have a better midfield we will see some consistency from Bobby.

Just love this guy. Gives up on nothing and is stronger than he looks. His movement is a nightmare for CBs.

Said last year that he was our best player of the 16/17 season, and I repeat I would have been absolutely gutted if it was him and not coutinho who had gone to barca.
He is our best all round player and has been for a good while

Has got more Tackles and interceptions than any forward in the prem, a lot more than Sanchez.

He is immense at this and we shouldn't underestimate the benefit to the team.

Shame Firminho dissapears in some matches, other than that he's very good.

Great finish against city, was the best goal by far.

I've criticized him in the past and I still would be interested to see how the team would do with a natural no.9 but Firmino has been excellent this season. My main issue with him was how often he gave the ball away; he's a lot better in that respect this season and seems to better understand when/where to dribble, pass, and make runs. His pressing and work rate were never in question.

Anyone see the comparison of firminhos goal with Robbie's against man utd? Uncanny.

I've lost count of the times I've had to post to reaffirm my belief in his genius and silence the doubters. Bobby is the most technically gifted player in the Premiership and I once again reiterate I wouldn't swap him with any player in Europe  . World Class !!!!!

Bobby is awesome and is one of our main cogs when we bombard defences. His a work horse a solid player for Klopps system.
