    If Firmino could grab a goal or 2 along with Ings it would only be a great thing for us.

    Spending £29m on a player should get you a player who does not need goals against Carlisle to boost his confidence.

    It's hardly unreasonable to not expect a player from a different league with a different footballing background to be an instant success. Some players need a while to settle, regardless of how much they were bought for.

    Well it wouldnt do him any harm to get off the mark.

    We're awful at buying players who are good off the mark, so anything that will help him out before we inevitably send him off on loan, never to be seen again, would be good.

    Firmino is crap and will be gone in the next transfer window.

    You think Firmino will be sold in January? Please place a wager on that with me, a very substantial one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 736 ✭✭✭Doff


    To be fair, he'll probably end up on loan somewhere.

    I said gone not sold. He will be loaned out and sold next summer or soon after, he's pure muck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,592 ✭✭✭brevity


    I dunno how you've come to that conclusion (that he is crap) considering he's played maybe 4 or 5 games, in a new team and in the wrong position. And by a manger who probably didn't want him signed...

    So he's fully settled in England, played in the correct position and we've a decent sample size to make that call, yeah?!

    If we didn't play a full strength team away to Bordeaux, I can't see us playign a full strength team at home to Carlisle.

    Carlisle are 10th in league 2, but are actually top scorers in the division. We will field a weaker team, but aside from maybe 2 or 3 players (Rossiter, Chirivella, Branagan) should only be selecting from senior players.

    Bogdan, Lovren, Toure, Allen, Origi, Ibe should all feature from the start I reckon. Sturridge might even get a run out to improve fitness. Enrique should probably start too.

    I'll bet €100 that Firmino won't be in Liverpool on June 20th next summer.

    Yes, it is only a guide. Shot on goal also includes 30yard dribblers when people are getting desperate. I would rather go with what I saw actually watching the game live, than the stats afterwards. Stats can be construed into whatever you want them to be. Arsenal got done just like we got done. End of.

    From experience bank transfers are very easy, unless he wants to travel to collect it. Don't worry, I'm not expecting him to take me up on the offer that he is so sure of happening.

    You see how can you expect anyone to take your posts seriously if you write a player off after 6 games? Pure muck? FFS

    No but in my experience most successful players settle quickly and get off to a good start such as Torres and Suarez etc.

    I'd be worried about him not being round long enough to pay up although that is probably a win win.

    Put your money where your mouth is?

    The guy a Brazilian international adapting to a new league and country. He's hardly been shocking while playing in a position he's not accustomed to. You may end out being right but it's nothing but foolish to make a call lkie that 6 games into a season.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,363 ✭✭✭JohnDaniels

    No you weren't. He actually looked really good in the highlights on loan at the weekend. I'm not sure how you can't see the contradiction in thinking the manager is completely clueless but then blaming the players and writing them off rather than removing the route of the problem before we judge them.

    I don't mind someone giving their opinion of a player, manager etc.
    But to make such a idiotic statement on a player after 6 games is just mindblowing.
    Did you actually watch the game on Saturday ?
    When Firmino came on he was very bright and you could see the class he has. IF he is played in his CORRECT position he will excel for us.
    I will wager any bet you want on this, someone on here can escrow it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,983 ✭✭✭✭NukaCola


    Firmino written off after 237 minutes of football. There are no words.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,119 ✭✭✭Colemania


    Coutinho is occupying Firminos best position currently. If benteke's injury keeps him out for a couple of weeks, I wouldn't mind seeing Firmino playing off the striker, be it Sturridge or Ings.

    Ings has really played himself into the team now and I wouldn't be surprised to see him either not play against Carlisle on Wednesday or just be introduced as a sub in order to rest him for the weekend. Hopefully sinclair gets another chance and i wouldn't mind seeing Chirevella get some more minutes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,930 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I think we learned our lesson of not replacing Suarez before he left and Firmino was bought knowing we could and probably will lose Coutinho next summer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,564 ✭✭✭✭OwaynOTT


    Here's a little comparison between our best player,nth at touted as being wanted by Barca and our new signing that's played less minutes than 3 games in total and is being written off by McSawgger

    While Roberto hasn't scored or assisted yet, there's little difference between the two really stat wise. Obviously The Count had contributed more but to write off the Count-Duke at this stage is madness.

    I'd really like to see Coutinho pulled deeper. I think we could get Firmino into his best position and add badly needed creatively to midfield.

    Lucas

    Milner
    Coutinho

    Firmino

    Ings----Sturridge

    Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish is auctioning off his 1984 European Cup winner’s medal to raise money for charity.

    The prized piece of memorabilia from the final triumph against Roma in the Stadio Olimpico on May 30, 1984 will go under the hammer after the remarkable gesture from the 64-year-old Scot, who has served the Reds with such distinction as player, manager and now club ambassador.

    The sale of the medal will generate a significant sum of cash for the Marina Dalglish Appeal, which helps to raise funds for cancer sufferers and their family.

    Liverpool won their fourth European Cup 5-3 on penalties after the final in Italy had finished 1-1 after extra-time.

    ROME - His name is Carlo Ancelotti last sensational idea of Liverpool for the bench. The 'Reds' are in black crisis and the position of Brendan Rodgers is now really in the balance: Liverpool is even thirteenth in the Premier League and in the last four races of the championship has taken just two points. Very little for a team that, at the beginning of the championship, was indicated by many as the possible surprise of this season: according to some indiscretions gathered by our staff, the leadership of Anfield would be ready to change technical and have already started contacts with the ' entourage Ancelotti. An operation that is a difficult, but not impossible: the former Real may surprise everyone and say yes to the team, which in 2005 surpassed his Milan in the Champions League final at the end of an incredible comeback.

    Great, lets write off every player that comes in and doesn't make an impact after 6 games because Markovic didn't. :rolleyes:

    He was voted as one of the top 30 players in Europe last season, 38 goals in 140 app for Hoffenheim as an AM. He is a whole different calibre to Markovic.

    Give him time and a run in his proper position he will make you eat your words.

    An offer of 30 / 40 is easy to turn down and they won't bid more than that, not at his current level.

    Lovren - Put a scarecrow in his position and it will play better

    Can - Slows down the play so much I thought my Telly had froze

    Migs is certainly someone who needs replacing. Apparently one of the times at the weekend when he did his patended pretend to throw it quickly then hold onto it for as long as possible he turned and berated Moreno for not giving him an option. Huge parts of the Kop erupted at him and told him to stop blaming Moreno, you are the ****ing problem.

    He's a backup keeper and should have been replaced during the summer. The issue is, who would you replace him with?
