    I only said if as not arsed about arguing about it. He isnt one of ours now so just moving on
    Totally agree we developed him
    Could not say honestly whether a 1 in 5 or what. So many variables, take Salah as an example, get the right system and everything changes
    That was why i put if in :)

    If he turns up at Utd...... sterling will think he's loved in comparison to the welcome that guy gets.

    I think in his last year he really became a much more consistent performer. You’re right he was a 1 in 3 or 4 player but by the end (not including his last 3/4 months where was ‘injured’) he became a 1 in 2 and was much more influential.

    With how we're now setting up in a 4231 system, he'd be brilliant as the no.10

    Yep, for his last season when playing for a move. At the same time I said that about couts I said Firmino was a 1 in 8 player, if you asked me today I would say he is a 4 in 5 minimum.Things change according to playing style and effort, Firmino never lacked effort but the set up didn't bring the best out of him, now he is back to his German days best.

    So, in short, you were proved wrong about Coutinho so your attacking Firmino as a deflection? ;)

    Up front, put Salah back on the right, Mane left and Shaqiri on the bench where he belongs

    He also thinks Firmino is a good option on the left and midfield trio of Milner, Hendo and Wijnaldum is great

    Thing with Bobby is, he can be poor on the ball and still be a very important key player because no matter what his firm is, he's always great defensively.

    The fact that he's great offensively too when on form is brilliant (maybe not for you :1980_boogie_down:).

    His scoring figures aren't too shabby either, not one of the most prolific but he holds his own.

    Easily my favourite player, we're just not the same when he's not playing.

    I agree, when I judge a player it's on his contribution to the team, not his individual talent.
