Hey eds and reds,

Did anyone notice firmino is slightly bulkier and quicker? I mean it could just be my eyes but he seemed to have upped his speed this season. The 1 on 1s he had at west ham and soton for example (or the centre backs were slow, I don't know) .

yes, i have seen that too, I think he has found another gear, only thing was that he was out of gas the last 20 mins against Seville, and should have been subbed, he is one of our best players, and should always be first choice .

Of course he was out of gas Happy. Pretty sure he has played every game bar the League Cup this season. Definitely more minutes than any other No.9 in the BPL this season. At some point, Firmino's going to need a rest and gives Solanke a chance to see if he can have a similar impact.

Agree he was needing a rest after 70mins - we needed a hold up player like Solanke while the lad has run miles every game this season.

Not sure about that he just had 2 weeks off with Brazil. Think he played 5 minutes.
