Bobby scored at the weekend with a header, his first of the campaign, in what was an improved performance in the victory over Leicester City.
Firmino hasn’t looked fully fit in every game so far, but he’s still registered two assists and is a vital cog in our frontline.
The truth is that our world-class front-three hasn’t actually clicked yet, but Sadio Mane has got four goals and Mo Salah two!
Once they hit their stride, and Naby Keita reaches his top level as well, we’re quite capable of blowing sides away this season.
