In this day and age of stats, making such claims makes one to look at the person making it with one kind eye.... I love Firminho, yes he is a beast when he decides, but he is nowhere near Kane as a striker, abeg e rora! Let us not allow our disdain for everything british to becloud our senses....by the way , by what stats are strikers measured again? Their beast mode? Kane was not a hype, you wil only call him a hype when it is not backed up by solid stats! Which begs the question what is the definition of 'Hype'?

The "hype" is they kept saying Kane should be in the same debate with Messi & CR7...

Firmino makes Liverpool 12 players (instead of 11)...a Claude Makelele in the final third (but with pace, skill & vision)

Firmino is the glue the glue that makes Liverpool's front 3 click...if not for wasteful Mane last night, Firmino might have had 2 more assists...

Ok, Oga Oloye, you were a defender, who'd you prefer to defend against: Firmino or Kane?

You make solid points but Firmino isn't a typical #9 like Kane is so the comparison is a bit unfair. When he signed from Hoffenheim, I remember you and I were very high on him. He isn't a #9 though, not even at Hoffenheim, his game is about more than that.
Kane is one of the few true 9s around and he is an absolute terror in his own right. Firmino is more of an allrounder, and will drop deep to orchestrate play...Firmino is Benzema. Kane is Shearer.

Fair points...but maybe I'm being a bit picky, but I'm debating about which No 9 is more dangerous... the "True 9" (the traditional No 9...designed to feed off "the final ball" from supporting players)

I believe that species of No 9 is becoming extinct in the modern game, because you can restrict a Kane by limiting supplies of "the final ball"...

What the heck do you do about a Firmino..?

EPL fan boys coming out now.

well you can look at it that way. but i can assure you i rather a Roma 3-0 at home again, the prospect of Liverpool in the final terrifies me

Why?
Because you are not a fan of football or because you placed an 'anything-but-EPL' bet at your local bookmaker?

Ok boy, I no wan respond because pipul go talk say I dey back Kane because of Spurs.
If Dem say choose a pure 9 for Nigeria in the mold of either Harry Kane or Firminio, na Harry Kane I go choose all year long. The bobo can strike with both feet, he can head, he has good work ethics and can bring others into the game. Above all, he knows where the goal is.

As for number 9, Harry Scores goals for fun and firminio hasn't even come close to him in the past 3 seasons

which Africans? weren't you at Salah's neck for claiming to be Arab?

FATHER TIKO wrote:Some coaches don't know how to use certain players...
It also depends on the philosophy of the coach...
It takes a Klopp to see a Firmino...Afterall Brendan Rodgers was wasting Firmino at the wings before Klopp...

Brazil Coach Tite should "plagiarise" Klopp before the WCup...and if he employs Firmino & Coutinho in any Brazil formation; and is able to welcome back a healthy Neymar, Brazil go be wahala...
