    No idea how we’re contriving to somehow lose this game tbh. Deeneys only goal from open play all season ffs.

    Meh, time to go out.

    Firmino is a ****.

    Good underrated player, but still a **** <ok>

    Bit like Herrera tbh.

    Don’t rate him that highly myself. He’s a good striker, but nothing more than that about him, imo.

    Can't believe I'm making the effort to go to the match today, just to see Jose line up his 0-0 masterclass and fail cos Hazard has his best trunks on.

    The striker part is his least best attribute. But if you don't watch us week in week out you won't understand that comment.

    He's our most important player and first name on the team sheet.

    Fair enough.

    I don’t watch all your games obviously. But from what I’ve seen of him, he’s an ok to good player. He was nothing special against us, and watching the highlights from yesterday does nothing to change my view either.

    It's his movement and the ability to stop teams counter attacking that he does better than any other striker in the league. He's a defensive striker if there was such a thing. It just so happens this season he's scoring for fun too.

    He has that Brazilian magic in him also. Some of his lays offs and flicks are insane. Brilliant link up play. He's the reason Salah gets so much space and so many goals.

    But you have to watch him week in week out. Not just twice a year and every week on MOTD.

    He's a class act.

    I do kind of understand why he doesn't get the credit he deserves. I'm fine with that as it keeps the gossip pages away from him!

    I reckon it’ll surprise and end up being a decent game mate, where you sat?

    I wasn’t really having him until this season tbh, but he’s won me over, as his work rate is superb for a supposed central striker and his overall contribution in terms of goals and assists has improved this season. He’s been excellent.

    Good player Firmino, you can't knock a side who are free-scoring. It's impressive and deserves credit when it's working well. It's just important that while your team are playing like this they have to put something in the trophy cabinet for all their efforts.

    I'm not as confident mate, might be a decent game for the Chelsea fans though. Stretford End for me.
