I understood you and my point was on players similar to Firmino. But I don't get the sentiment that non goal scoring strikers can't be amongst the best in their leagues. All strikers are different, and just ranking them based on goals scored is very fickle. I don't know where Firmino would rank but strikers can have other traits that make them stand out. As I said, I think ideally between 10-15 goals is the minimum you should aim for to be amongst the elite.

No but you're comparing completely different players. Firmino might appear as a central number 9 on the line ups that they show before the game on Sky or whatever but he's nothing like that 2 minutes ago, Mel81x said: If we win every single game in the league for the next four we'll win it when we play Palace? Palace is FA Cup quarter final weekend so if we go through v Chelsea we can win it at City. If we keep winning of course

It's called being careful with words. If I said "But I don't get the sentiment that non goal scoring strikers can't be the best in their leagues" you would still find a way to twist it. I try not to be direct. God you're boring. I just think you're in need of being petty and try to devalue my arguments which I'm just trying to get involved towards something I know. And don't even give me the argument that I'm making myself a victim, that's what you say when you don't want the others a chance to win. Don't be such a dipshit.
Dave Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 You're arguing with yourself now. As I said, nobody has suggested otherwise that non goal scoring strikers can't be amongst the best in their leagues.

Dr. Gonzo Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Calling him a "non goal scoring striker" implies that he never, ever, ever scores goals.

Dave Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 26 minutes ago, Rick said: I wouldn’t swap Firmino for anybody. Not Aubameyang, not Vardy or even Aguero. He is crucial for the way we play. Scores a fair few, but creates so many opportunities for everybody else. I think it depends on systems. I dont think their is another forward in the Prenier League who would accommodate Salah and Mane as well as Firmino. At the same time, I was surprised to see him linked with Bayern as hes not a Lewandowski type forward and I could see fans turning on him if they're expecting a similar player.
Lucas Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 How can you play like that and be in the relegation zone? West Ham, really?? To be fair, I expected a classic Hammers rollover tonight and they defied those expectations. On that showing, they should stay up but watch them struggle in the winnable games.

I'm still waiting for you to answer my question. Do you just not want to admit you were being petty? I was wrong about something clearly irrelevant that shouldn't have even been brought up.

You know what I meant though if you looked at my previous arguments. Look mate... I agree with your general argument about Firmino overall on the thread. Clearly you don't need to be a prolific goalscorer to be considered a very very good striker. But you also can't say things like: 14 minutes ago, Inti Brian said: It's called being careful with words. And then also not be careful with words at the same time. 7 minutes ago, Inti Brian said: And give me a few reasons why it was necessary to say that? Other than to be a complete dipshit.

Mpache Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Anyways enough of that. I've had my say on Firmino like strikers and I wanted to congratulate Liverpool fans for getting so close. After all those years of suffering it's finally time you got back on your rightful throne. I've been through similar. Hope you do it in the next 12 points!

If you don't want drama, a good start would be to tell @The Palace Fan to not make incredibly nitpicky and unnecessary comments. I'm already in a bad enough place on here. I can't make jokes nor chat football without it being picked at.

It's just gotten a bit tiring though so it's an easy way to wind me up. Not going to explain myself any further. Some people in the staff would rather shut this forum down than admit they are wrong.

God is Haaland Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Don't really understand how people can get so petty and angry about who's the best striker in BPL when Haaland is 6 times better anyway. Please keep it civil, guys.
