In his pomp, Bobby was fantastic as a false 9 for us creating space for Salah and Mane.
Ferran and Dembele aren't high scoring wingers/inside forwards like Salah and Mane so the Dembele-Firmino-Ferran trio obviously won't work.
In his pomp, Bobby functioned as the glue between midfield and attack with his insane first touch, close control, skill moves and Football IQ. He was the trigger for pressing from the front and defending as a unit. Was very useful with his head from corners on both the boxes.
In that timeframe, our front trio was deadly and got a lot of love from the media too. Bobby helped us get the best outta Sadio and Mo as the false 9.
He was never rated as one of the best strikers in the world coz he lacks that goalscoring pedigree but as s false 9 in that system he was more than perfect. Infact, for Hoffenheim, he used to play Attacking Midfield.
Every Liverpool fan loves him for his contribution to our club. He's not really a striker. More of a False 9, Attacking Midfield kinda player.
Fantastic assessment of Firmino which just goes to highlight that kittycat knows slightly less than zero about football
