The Liverpool striker has made an impact off the bench in Russia but should he start against Belgium?
By Roberto Firmino’s standards, it was a pretty unremarkable goal – and not least because he actually looked at the ball as he fired it into the Mexican net.
The Liverpool striker boasts something of a back catalogue when it comes to ‘no-look’ finishes, but the strike which sealed Brazil’s progress to the World Cup quarter-finals on Monday was different. It meant more.
It may well have been the moment ‘Bobby’ came from the sidelines to take centre-stage in Russia.
