KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Roberto Firmino

Hopefully I tend to agree he joined a mess and caragher noted on sky Sunday Rodgers / the committee / whatever signed a bunch of people in his position for reasons known only to them with no width the result so hopefully Klopp can organise something

Looking at him so far I'm seeing elements of both Markovich and Lallana in him, he puts a shift in, but little comes of it. But we need to give him time, it's too soon to judge yet, but I've seen better starts.When you pay around 40m for a player you expect and should see a pretty quick return, wonder how he'll perform against Bournemouth tomorrow evening? Surely we'll see a bit more from him against easier opposition, if not then I'll begin to worry a bit.

Wicked! atleast we are on the same page about origi.

Yeah i do understand the peoples reservations with Firmino but i think its agreeable the guy has proved himself in the german league and internationally. I have seen enough to seen once he gets some consistency with his touches and has better runs being made for him, he will flourish.

My biggest concern is brendan the d1ckhead went and bought another 'in the hole' player when we already have coutinho and lallana. Too many in the hole, leaves no hole...obviously

Unfair to judge him yet. He had a few appearances then got injured so lets give him a few games. This guy is supposed to be a similar style to Suarez so hopefully he will shine in the future.

I'm not sure it's such a bad thing as far as Jurgen is concerned. His teams tend to play with 3 men behind the striker but the 'outside' players don't play as wide as wingers; they play narrow, compact and do a lot of quick 1-2s and through balls, so maybe we'll be able to utilise all of our number 10s after all.

His Dortmund team did play with 3 behind one striker but when they were at their best Reus was on the left and Blasczykowski was on the right. Gotze was then in the middle behind Lewandowski.

The big difference between this and our squad is a serious lack of pace, both Reus and Blasczykowski were quick which meant they could play wide if needed. We have nobody who could do their jobs from what I can see, Firmino maybe in time?

Coutinho could play the Gotze role but were short in the other areas for me.

All we have to do then is sign Reus and Blasczykowski! Excellent.

All klopp will/has to do is sign quality ready made players....

I think klopp will sign gotze from bayern in the summer.....

To replace Phil...

I'm hoping this happens in January seen as he isn't starting for Bayern very much. Don't want to see Coutinho leave just yet even though he frustrates the hell out of me.

Not really, just similar players if Klopp wants to adopt his Dortmund style.
