Glorious thread. The tears are refreshing.

After yous struggled to a draw and he still looks like a donkey
Aye they all crying la

Klopp’s wrong if he thinks that.Klopp seems to think Firmino is very important?
You’ll definitely miss Mane in my opinion. He’s suddenly become very underrated now he’s left.
Statistically at least Liverpool's main sources of creativity in the league last season were the likes of Salah, TAA, Robertson and Jota. I would imagine that will just continue.One thing people seem to ignore so far is how important Firmino and Mane were for Liverpool, and with Mane gone and Nunez in starting XI, how exactly are they going to replicate their creativity and ball carrying in the final third?
This guy for all his goals obviously won't create much for Salah, and Salah is quite selfish himself, and Diaz is no Mane either, where will the creativity come from?

We’ll miss him. Of course we will. He’s a quality player. His form comes in spells though similar to our other forwards. I think it’s far fetched to say that he’s the key to everything good we do.
Mane does outperform Salah in finals though and was key in that regard.
I still think he’s wrong. Firmino hasn’t been key for us for a while now. At one point last season Salah had played more for Egypt than Firmino had for Liverpool.
That’s fair enough. Just saying your manager thinks he’s ‘crucial’.I still think he’s wrong. Firmino hasn’t been key for us for a while now. At one point last season Salah had played more for Egypt than Firmino had for Liverpool.
Well he celebrated it like it was a 90th minute winner in a final so…Do Community Shield games count?
I don’t think we had much choice with Mane. It was either keep him and lose him for free in a year (with him sulking all season) or cash in now. We’d already made the choice to give Salah the money out of the two of them.That’s fair enough. Just saying your manager thinks he’s ‘crucial’.
I think Firmino should have gone a while ago personally but then I’d also have kept Mane

Salah is selfish, but he has a good eye for a delivery from out right, even just today he put in a couple very good balls for Nunez, and they've only played a few minutes together. With the threat the fullbacks provide and the ability to transition quickly I don't think creativity will be too much of problem.One thing people seem to ignore so far is how important Firmino and Mane were for Liverpool, and with Mane gone and Nunez in starting XI, how exactly are they going to replicate their creativity and ball carrying in the final third?

Firmino started todayIf Klopp really thought Firmino was so important then why does he barely start him?
The forward line for the crucial months of last season was Diaz Mane Salah.
Its obvious from Klopps actions that he doesn't rate Firmino as highly as he suggests, he was also praising Origi all the time and he didn't play either.
Yeah but that obviously down to the fact that Nunez is still settling in and Jota is injured.Firmino started today
Problem with players who are only goal-scorers is that all strikers go through a dry spell from time to time, and if they have nothing else in their toolkit, it becomes very hard to accommodate their runs of bad form. The days of the traditional target man are over. They need to be good at more than just finishing. There's a select in the few modern era who have been so good at it that there was no real reason to worry (Ronaldo, Lewandowski, etc.) but it's unlikely that Nunez will reach those heights.He’s got enough actual technically good players around him he’ll do ok, but it is staggering just how woeful he is on the ball for the price. But he’s been bought to score, and he’ll probably do alright at that.
He missed the flick!I watched only the highlights, that finish for 1st goal was world class. He was running like a mad man applying pressure.
And I came to caf straight for comments, seems he played like an offspring of Crouch and Lukaku.
Which one is true? How was he in the game?
Did you actually see it?I watched only the highlights, that finish for 1st goal was world class. He was running like a mad man applying pressure.

hhaha .. Thought he did a back flick? Let me see it again.Did you actually see it?
He missed it completely, it hit the defender, hit him, then flew in the net.hhaha .. Thought he did a back flick?
OMG! had to rewatch it .. hahah for a sec I thought he did backheel flick! WOW.. mad luck that lad.He missed it completely, it hit the defender, hit him, then flew in the net.
Inzaghi was the furthest thing from lazy. Listen to the episode devoted to him on the Gazzetta Football Italia podcast. His old teammates and oppoonents, one after another, all stated that he was nightmare to play against because he "would simply not stop running". Constantly running off the ball, into channels, diagonals to get in the back of his marker. If you switched off for a single moment of even a training game he'd get his goal, and a second, and a third, etc. Inzaghi achieved what he achieved because he was the exact opposite of lazy. He was relentlessly determined.He reminds me a bit of Mario Gomez. Really clumsy but just constantly making the right runs so eventually he’ll bundle it in. The big difference between him and all of the other poachers is that he works really hard. The likes of Gomez, Inzaghi, etc. all used to be really lazy, I can’t really remember another poacher that’s so useful out of possession?
He actually connected with an earlier attempt at the same thing better than he did on that one.hhaha .. Thought he did a back flick? Let me see it again.
Yeah he was an absolute nuisance. He was one of those players that you’ll come up against in 5 aside. Where you can see he’s pretty shit at football, so you kind of take it easy in trying to mark him or track him. Everyone just turns a bit of a blind eye to that guy and focuses on the skilful ones. But then he keeps ending up in the right places because he’s constantly moving around to just tap it in each time.Inzaghi was the furthest thing from lazy.

You answered your own question.I just watched the game, thought Fulham were very good. Nunez wasn't that bad, he took his goal well and didn't think it was that fluky like his assist. Besides, if his goal was a fluke, how come all the commentators/pundits were saying it was a delightful finish? /s
He's like some kind of footballing Inspector Clouseau, where every mistake he makes ends up working out for him.
