Bobby Firmino

I like Giroud.

Really stretching what a false nine is though with that I think!

Just put of interest can you tell me a false nine who not only posts better stats than Firmino but is as influential on the team?

I'll wait.

Well Benzema and Giroud would be there (even though they’re not ‘False 9s’ but the difference is so vague).

Fabregas played the ‘False 9’ role well for Barca and Spain and they won big.

OK so you've got Fabregas. How many did he score and assist?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He did it mainly in his first two seasons at Barca:

2011-12: 9 goals & 8 assists in 23 starts (5 sub)
2012-13: 11 goals & 11 assists in 30 starts (2 sub)

*league only

OK so you've got one player who hit close to Firmino numbers but he certainly didn't give as much to the team. I didn't watch him for Barca so can't comment on how much he gave offensively but I know he didn't give anywhere near as much defensively as he's simply not that type of player. Regardless if that's the best you can come up with then you've proved my point.

Stretching? He's ripped it up, had a dump on it, cleaned it up and started all over again. Giroud is not a false 9.

Yeah I was being polite

OMG

I've just read this from earlier on this thread...
