Roberto Firmino

Alberto and Markovic, do Liverpool waste talent?

Why have a Ferrari, a Porsche and a Lamborghini if you're just going to lock them away, rarely use them yet continuously talk about having them. "Yeah, look at the videos of how quick they can go. Imagine how good it'll be when I finally use them, right?!" Is this scenario not what happens when Liverpool...

It’s time to get dirty – Liverpool need some bite!

Cast your mind back to the last time Liverpool played at Stoke. Yes, that game. 'The 6-1', as it's become known.

Roberto Firmino – The Bundesliga Perspective

Outstanding technique, mature tactical understanding and quick feet, Roberto Firmino is everything Liverpool wanted. Off the back of his 22-goal, 12-assist season, the hefty fee of €41m might have been more justified.
