Divock Origi

This is not a serious post. 5 goals in 5 this season and last season's performances put him streets ahead of Ngog. Origi is a cracking player.

 

 

He looks capable of scoring when he's not "playing well".

 

A very precious commodity indeed, especially if he can do it in tight games to make the difference.

 

That elusive out and out scorer.

 

Let's hope.

Fair play to him, he's getting into positions that give him goals. One small criticism though, did anyone see motd last night and hear that fat slug Jonathan Pearce's pronunciation of his surname? Said it like O'rigi like he was frigging Irish or something. Pet hate this when commentators make their own way of saying names. Like when someone started saying Jagielka with starting with a Y instead of J. Dickheads.

Jagielka sounds like an eastern european name so would probably be said with a Y sound if said in its native tongue. Barragan is also being pronounced with a H sound for the G is another where the commentators are trying to sound smarter than they really are. To be fair I suppose its better than destroying the origin of names like the Yanks do.

In respect of Jagielka, I was on about an English commentator (forget who) who started dropping the J for the Y for a guy who is Sheffield born and bread, playing for England and been in the game for a number of years.
