Firmino is underrated as a forward because he wasn't the sharpest finisher. He had great technique, brilliant in tight spaces, creative passer, versatile and a workhorse. He's arguably the best false 9 the Premier League has seen.

[@paulw8579]

I miss Bobby already 😢

[@mianriyaan2647]

And the fact he was scouted through Football Manager.....

[@adhnaanahmed5029]

This shows how important firmino is to the team,he anchors the buildup and also starts the high counter press for liverpool.truly underrated attacker who didn't get the credit he deserved

[@christopherkane370]

I've been watching this channel since 2019 and I have to say, it's really amazing seeing how far this channel has come. This is my number one channel for anything football related. You're doing a great job

[@FootballMadeSimple]

Wow, thank you! Always trying to improve for you and I have some exciting videos coming for you soon!

[@nicolasnicolas3889]

Firminho, Mane and Salah have the same initials as Football Made Simple, did you notice? 🥰

[@nayeemurrashid5073]

This trio is literally underrated. If they played in other League, they could have won more trophies.

[@FootballMadeSimple]

Or any other era in this league

[@joebarnes100]

Or if everyone adhered to ffp rules.

[@ken.9320]

Or if FSG had ambition

[@mananagnihotri]

They literally won every trophy available.

[@Stephen-kf8um]

Yes, imagine how many farmer's leagues they could have won.

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

The Fab 3. One of the most iconic front 3 attackers in football and the most iconic in Liverpool. What makes it work so well is Firmino before joining Liverpool is actually a #10 for Hoffenheim. However after joining Liverpool and Klopp arrived later, due to Benteke not fitting for Liverpool Firmino was forced to play as a false 9 and he thrived because he had the technical ability and intelligence to play in that position unlike Kai Havertz. Salah and Mane are inside forwards tearing up the football world before joining Liverpool and they become icons. Salah was a Chelsea reject sold to Roma and done well while Mane at Southampton was their best player, still holds the record for the fastest Premier League hat trick ever. To sum things up, all three of them took Liverpool to new heights and won everything at the club albeit losing two Champions League finals to Madrid and on both occasions missed out on the Premier League title to Manchester City. If I have to rank the Fab 3, I would rank them up there with the BBC(Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo) and the MSN(Messi, Suarez and Neymar). Sure the Fab 3 scored far less goals than the other front 3 I mentioned but like the other front 3 they won silverware including the Champions League.

[@surpriserakins9067]

The other noteworthy things is that none of them was brought in as a superstar unlike the Madrid and Barca comparators

[@LivFC]

I am a Liverpool fan and seeing our iconic front 3 finally getting some appreciation feels great. They truly were amazing. It's so sad that this partnership is over. Btw, love ur content. Ur channel is currently the best on Yt when it comes to football insights! ❤

[@CWZimba]

A front line that was all under 6 foot tall being that good at headed goals was actually insane

[@nigelbhebhe2805]

Great breakdown of what made these guys so lethal. In 21/22 they were phenomenal, and probably should have done the quadruple. Hopefully Salah can keep up his performances in the coming years before he retires. But I think this trio's successors are Gakpo, Nuñez and Luis Díaz

[@iganpparamarta8813]

In my country they were called Firmansah (acronym of FIRmino, MANe, SalAH) by some. It's funny because it is a rather common name albeit not the most popular.

[@abhishekmishra7897]

These front three is self made unlike others who were signed for blockbuster money like MSN & BBC……And together they won it all in the most competitive league ❤……As a Liverpool fan I surely miss this legendary partnership 🙌🏻😢

[@hellfrost9516]

and they were all worth that money

[@ishteerashid5458]

Firmino was, for me, the special one. Trickiest and more importantly, unselfish.

[@kgomotsolucas1988]

That gegenpressing made them monsters

[@FootballMadeSimple]

💯

[@ito-sanBrent]

Man I like this genre of best trios, would like to see more

[@Deadlok391]

Nice video!

[@FootballMadeSimple]

Thanks!

[@wandel51]

I am not a Liverpool fan. My favourite team in Europe depends more on the players and on how they play than the club itself. Man, this Liverpool was one my favourites ever. I loved how they play.

[@u2emotional4yt]

'my favorite team is whoever is winning v

[@shaheemjackson283]

Another amazing video mate!

[@alexanderkenway]

Firmino had everything except the speed. Provide him two speedy options on the wings and the rest is history

[@Do27gg]

Third best front 3 of all time.

[@mohamedabdelkader8665]

Awesomeness is watching your Channel. You Know With cooking recipes Oum Walid from North Africa from Algeria made 4 four million dollars out of KZbin.Oum Walid launched her channel in 2015 and so far she has managed to gather more than 11 million followers. My best best wishes for you to achieve same success that The ALGERIAN Oum Walid’s channel achieved.

[@u2emotional4yt]

I feel like truly special should be reserved for a. Trio with more than 3 major trophies.

[@VargasAtlanta]

Good video topic!

[@m2coy]

just watch a firmino assist video. how many times has he done an unexpected backheel pass to unlock the defense. his passing was the key. you could put any other top wingers on to replace mane and salah but without firmino it would not be the same.

[@lordtea]

But still someone blamed salah for this trio downfall 😐😌

[@Ryuma616]

Do a video why MNM didn't work at psg like everyone was expecting

[@grayarystorjz6685]

Simple team with good forward, decent centre back and one man centre mid.

[@apollo-9725]

messi went to paris to chill. neymar was being neymar

[@AH_44.]

Obviously no one expected it to work.

[@taiteakopyte1286]

This channel is arguably one of the best on analysis of tactics in world football.

[@thegametaka]

The three of them dominate premier league

[@Ridefmi]

They were wrong to underestimate Mane. They'll be suffering that loss for several more years

[@alexanderkenway]

Mané was recently voted the biggest disappointment of the Bundesliga season so if you mean Bayern is suffering then I agree with you

[@CWZimba]

​@@alexanderkenwayhe said "several more years" like it wasn't the midfield that was in shambles

[@zs5002]

I’m biased but they are arguably the best front 3 of all time. Obviously MSN at Barcelona are #1 on most lists but they didn’t play together that long

[@MakolaTL]

As a citizen I hated facing this Liverpool.

[@ZevFei]

during that era only Bayern, Real Madrid, Man City can beat Liverpool. 4 giants of modern football.. Basically 80% win rate, but now look what happen to Liverpool.... can't even win against small club, not EPL contender anymore even lose to Atalanta in Europa League.

[@Trouble_90210]

Mane is the best player out of the trio

[@STEFINHO02]

They go to Al Ahli

[@MarkLaw13]

Mane is the most important of the 3. Why? Mane brought the dog out of the team. When he left every player on opposing teams said Liverpool will struggle and sure they did. If we had Mane instead of Salah we make top 4 easily. We don't lose to Forest, Bournemouth, Leeds. You can't call yourself great and not show up against those teams. That's where the league is won or lost. Liverpool drew to the top 6 in Mané's last season and we finished 2nd one point behind Mane never gets credit for his defense running back to help ROBBO then going back to score goals. The stats are all there.

[@jimmyconstantine3075]

This 3 didn't win an epl sorry

[@Sam1jere]

What do you mean? Liverpool won every trophy available, including the PL.
