    Tbf Firmino was decently highly rated, but I get your point.

    I doubt someone like e.g. Robbo would be considered possibly the best LB in the world under too many managers.

    Also cool anecdote - hadn't heard that one!

    Yep.

    Austrian League to Premier League.
    New club.
    Language barrier.
    January transfer so arrives mid-season.
    Couple of months into settling in the "normal" bedding-in time is disrupted by a lock-down.

    Minamino has had a trickier Baptism than most players I can think of. So any time he performs well for us he will, in my eyes, deserve that little bit extra credit.

    When's this lad going to get a chance?

    After a good pre season and the way firmino has played...

    He gets 5 minutes max

    3 wins out of 3. No point changing things just for the sake of changing.
    He'll get game time on Thursday night.

    Very true but even if he has a stormer he won't get in the team

    He works as hard as Bobby from what I've seen and would probably score more at the moment

    Not sure what's up with bobby think he could do with a rest and get himself back to his best

    Hes a lot lighter than Bobby to my eye, think Bobby needs the minutes to get upto speed rather than a break.

    Because Mané and Salah score so many (6 already after just 3 games) it’s his press and work rate that keeps him in the team. He is an incredibly talented footballer too so when he runs into form he’s immense for the team.

    There's no denying Bobby needs a goal but he's so important to us especially in the big games.

    Most over-rated player in the team, against popular opinion but you know

    I can't get it out my head how many we'd score with a different striker who's top quality, and mane and salah would still do there shit without him imo they're both amazing running with the ball and both help each other

    Don't know why Minamino joined us if he wanted to play, will never get chance over Firmino even if he plays shit

    I'm just so happy the likes of Barca and PSG seem to share your views on him, Kev.
