Roberto Firmino loves a no-look skill.

No-look goals, no-look headers and he even signed his Liverpool contract extension without looking.

And, last month, the Brazilian forward took his trademark technique to an all-new level with a barely believable no-look, backheel nutmeg during the Reds' 4-1 win against Cardiff City.

And that got us thinking about other Liverpool players, both past and present, who have, or had, their own particular speciality. 

So, with tongue somewhat in cheek, here are five of our favourites...

Adam Lallana - Cruyff Turn 2.0

The Liverpool No.20 adores a Cruyff turn. So much so that he often uses it as his first touch when taking possession of the ball.

And that initial touch makes it more of a nimble receiving technique than a traditional Cruyff turn, says Lallana.

"I find it can get you out of tight areas," he explained in an LFC International Academy coaching clinic.

"If you take a touch and then do the Cruyff turn, you might not be able to get away from your man. 

"But you are doing this in one motion, it's that much quicker. You're using the Cruyff, but more efficiently."

Kenny Dalglish - Scottish rump

Ask any of King Kenny's former Liverpool teammates about his quality and the first thing they will say is how he was one the best footballers they ever played with and one of the most skilful too; a unique talent who thought quicker than anybody else on the pitch and could do almost anything with the ball at his feet.

The second thing they will tell you is how he was unparalleled in the art of sticking his backside out to shield the ball. He was famed for it. 

Combined with his low centre of gravity and excellent balance, the LFC No.7 could stick out his rump when receiving possession with his back to goal and roll his defender this way and that - even using the shadow cast by the sun or floodlights to identify from which side his unfortunate assailant was advancing on him.

Arsenal centre-half David O'Leary once admitted it was almost 'impossible' to win possession from Dalglish. "He crouches over the ball, legs spread and elbows poking out," said the two-time title winner. "Whatever angle you come in from, you're liable to find his backside in your face."

As a true Liverpool legend it feels somewhat unfitting to end praise of Dalglish on such a bum note. So, it's only fair to also highlight the Scot's brilliance at the chipped finish from an acute angle.

It was, of course, one such dinked effort over Club Brugge goalkeeper Birger Jensen that secured the 1978 European Cup for the Reds at Wembley.

Bruce Grobbelaar - Spaghetti legs

Those old enough to remember goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar's wobbly legs routine in the 1984 European Cup final will never forget it.

As Liverpool and AS Roma prepared for a high-stakes penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes in the Italian capital, one man remained calm amid a cauldron of noise.

With the Reds 3-2 ahead, up stepped Italian legend Francesco Graziani. As the forward placed the ball on the spot, Grobbelaar began his 'spaghetti legs' number in a bid to put him off.

It worked. Graziani blazed his shot over the bar and Alan Kennedy then scored from the spot to secure a fourth European Cup for the Reds.

"The law was you had to keep your feet on the ground before they kicked the ball. That's what I did," the Zimbabwean told Liverpoolfc.com.

"The spaghetti legs came about when I went to the back of the net and bit it! The net looked to me like spaghetti, so I went and did the spaghetti legs. That's where it comes from."

The ploy would be recreated 21 years later, when - instructed by Jamie Carragher - his moves were used by Jerzy Dudek to unsettle AC Milan and help Liverpool lift the trophy for a fifth time.

Luis Suarez - The nutmeg

The seam of Luis Suarez's bag of tricks is fit to burst and during his three-and-a-half years at Anfield the forward could pull out something different seemingly at will, but boy did he love a nutmeg.

Of course, it's not only the Uruguayan who can produce the skill, but he could knock the ball through an opponent's legs in a multitude of thrilling ways.

He could do it at speed, stop you dead and then knock it through, on the cut-back, in the middle of a zig-zagging run, on the turn, while bringing an aerial pass under control, and could even set himself up for goals by doing one, sometimes two, to create space.

Maybe the Liverpool fans who unfurled this Anfield banner put it best: "Luis Suarez could nutmeg a mermaid."

Xabi Alonso - Goals from the halfway line

Xabi Alonso is a man synonymous with stunning strikes but his audacious 60-yard effort to beat stumbling Newcastle United goalkeeper Steve Harper is one of the most iconic moments of his Anfield career.

He'd scored another goal from inside his own half just a few months earlier, during an FA Cup third-round tie against Luton Town, and after the second it had become a trademark skill.

At Kenilworth Road, Alonso swept a 70-yard shot into an open net with Luton goalkeeper Marlon Beresford up the pitch contesting a late corner.

Against Newcastle, the supremely talented Spaniard tracked and tackled Charles N'Zogbia to win back possession deep within his own half before moving forward into the centre-circle and spotting Harper off his line.

A powerful swing of his right boot launched the ball goalward and by the time the goalkeeper realised what was happening he slipped in panic and the ball dropped beyond his outstretched arm and nestled in the back of the net.

"I was waiting for Alonso to pass and I would have spoken to him about it," said Reds boss Rafael Benitez following the 2-0 Premier League win. "But after he scored I said to him, 'Good, fantastic goal'."
