Roberto Firmino

Goodbye, Bobby: The poster boy of the Jurgen Klopp era

So, the Roberto Firmino era at Liverpool is coming to an end. Yep, I'm in floods of tears, too. Last week, the Reds' brilliant Brazilian announced that he wouldn't be signing a new deal at Anfield this summer, with the news met with much sadness by many. Firmino's world-class talents may have waned since the title-winning...

Cody Gakpo – Our Diamond Player to Replace Bobby

In a recent article from a few weeks back, I stated that I saw Cody Gakpo as a return to the false nine. I get the feeling that the ultra-attacking system (that was in mind last summer), is now making way for a more trusted and positional savvy system. As I have said before,...

Lessons Learned in the Demolishing of Manchester United

What a time to be alive. No-one, whatever they actually claim could have predicted what was to come on a Sunday afternoon that left us with sore heads on a Monday morning.

Firmino: The Long Goodbye Before The Painful Farwell

“If you watch the game, you don’t see Firmino. If you watch Firmino, you see the whole game.” Many Reds' favourite player of the Jurgen Klopp-era and a true Liverpool Legend, it’s been confirmed our number nine will finally depart at the end of the season. There’ll not be a dry eye in the...

If Joyce is Right, Change Needed to Keep It Tight

For all the questions that Jurgen Klopp answers at the press conferences from reporters or articles from patch journalists, there appears no way of stopping some Reds reacting to every word written or uttered. None more than the ever reliable Paul Joyce of The Times, whose most recent report stated that Liverpool’s business is...

With one game won and two to go, the Christmas Premier League fixture list has started very well for the Reds. After a successful Boxing Day trip to Villa Park, Jurgen Klopp will now be hoping to heap further misery on former Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, as Friday will see his Leicester side travel...

Tony Evans: Henderson Haters Could Put Bellingham Off Signing For Liverpool

The love-in between Jordan Henderson and Jude Bellingham is sending exciting signals to Liverpool fans. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder would clearly fit into the Anfield dressing room with ease. Bellingham is good. If Liverpool can bring the 19-year-old to Merseyside next summer it will be a coup. All the noises coming from Qatar and Germany...

Contract Rebel Central Midfielders To Target In the Summer Of 2023

We haven’t even gotten into the January transfer window yet, but with any elite and proactive sporting group, forward thinking is vital for future success. Though FSG haven’t backed the big midfield redevelopment, I think we can be hopeful that the next few windows will produce more positive results. This coming summer will see...

Key Points That Klopp Needs To Address In The World Cup Break

With the remaining Reds that won’t be heading to the World Cup in Qatar, it represents an opportunity to realign what has veered off course this year. Jurgen Klopp and Pep Lijnders will undoubtedly be laying out a route back to consistent success, and I think we would all like to see that old...

The Long Term Bobby Replacement

Roberto Firmino is perhaps the most loved player at Liverpool Football Club. His outlandish style, sublime moments of skill, and ability to work relentlessly, have seen him become a cult hero for the fanbase.
