Divock Origi

[Kevin D]

I would like to express my fondness for this particular player.

[Mathewbet1]

His goals are worth 15m alone.

He looks like he's had to improvise after someone superglued some binoculars to his face while he slept.

Shocking this hasn't been repped.

He’s an okay striker with an erratic first touch, but knows his way around the box. One of Klopp’s most baffling calls was to insist on playing him on the left. I’m guessing part of it would’ve been due to him being quite shit in the air for a big guy.

When someone pens Klopps time here they are going to have to devote a whole chapter to Big Divock and his extraordinary finishes

Klopp:

 

"He's a positive person. Talented, shoots left and right, really quick, in the air a monster. An interesting package."

Well he's not going to say "I think he's fucking shite which is why I only play him when I'm desperate or the game means fuck all", when he's trying to flog him is he?

No, but he did say that he wasn't always in the best shape, and that how he is back to how he was in the early years

He is trying to sell him though and if he had any option, he wouldn't let him near the pitch.

You mean no CL win?

No Everton derby for the ages?

 

 

WHY??!!!

The reason he's played on the left I assume, is that often our forwards move around anyway. That's our main tactic, to have an interchangeable front line and most times, the player playing in the centre plays deeper, especially when that's Firmino. So that wouldn't suit Divock. The times when he's played up front are probably the times when Klopp has gone plan B and just told him to be a regular focal point.

Not necessarily. He clearly has trusted him at points to be a threat off the bench. I assume he's an awesome finisher in training and has kept a good attitude but his overall game obviously isn't good enough to play regularly.

[TheHowieLama]

Origi is fine as the fifth option upfront. He scores big golas without really playing at all - pretty much what you want from that spot. 

I think where we need to make a decision is on the fourth spot - right now that is Firmino. That is a spot that needs to be able to play fairly regularly and not have any drop in quality.

He's already said he tried to sell him in the summer, but nobody came in. He's said just on Saturday he hopes Div moves and gets a manager who will play him more than he does. If any decent offer comes in January, we'll snatch their hands off.

That's fine. Doesn't mean he doesn't want to use him at times while he's here.

If Bobby was fit, he wouldn't get minute in a game that matters unless it was to run the clock out. He uses him because there is nobody else. Just how little game.time he gets shows you that.

He is not though. Jota is better than him in the air IMO,

He scored my favorite header of all time.

Love me some big Div. 
 

Then again, he was shit hot right before his last contract ran out and earned himself a new one - rode that out, and right at the end - shit hot. 
 

Love ya for the memories Div, but time to move on.
