a thread on why patrick bamford is a better player than roberto firmino

firstly, bamford and firmino aren’t strikers known for scoring, rather putting in the hard yards and creating chances for teammates. in that type of role, several abilities are key and for me bamford excels in nearly all of them. stronger, better in the air, more hard working etc

and let’s be honest now, our fans have slated bamford. so much pressure on his shoulders being the 9 at leeds. most players would’ve instantly cracked. firmino in comparison, is basically a god to liverpool fans, forgetting the fact he’s yet to score a goal at anfield this season

it’s evident that bamford is much superior in every sense as a forward, you’d think aside from scoring. well not quite, 36 games 13 goals for bamford whereas firmino has 8 in 29. 8 goals playing alongside two of the best forwards in the world is absolutely woeful

not only is bamford the better goalscorer, but he’s the better forward, in almost every sense. maybe creativity and ball skill i can concede firmino is superior, but you’ll do well to name me one more ability where firmino>bamford.

plus, bamford is a remarkable chap. just look at that beautiful man.
