Isn’t Firmino’s best attribute arguably his work rate though? He works tirelessly to bring other into the game and is incredibly selfless. Jesus isn’t bad but I’ve never considered his workrate on a par with Firmino’s. Aren’t they also both best centrally, so I’m not too sure how well they’d be as a central pair unless you’re move one of them wide?

That’s exactly what Brazil have been doing though.

Not compared to Jesus, no, that’s why Tito prefers him. He had the most tackles and interceptions, as well as covered the most distance, of any forward in the World Cup.

That’s exactly why Guardiola likes him too, he runs himself into the ground every game.

He was sheite the whole tournament as were the rest of the forward line bar Coutinho. You can give us as many stats as you like. You just need to watch the games to know he was rubbish

I know he was, I was just saying why Tite plays him. Coutinho wasn’t good yesterday either.
