Divock Origi

I've long been a fan of Origi and have often been mocked and jeered for having such an opinion. Happy to be proven right. Again. No need to apologise, it comes with having controversial stand points.

I don't think he ever showed anything to be in a cult 11. Did he have any funny moments? Any crucial moments? Apart from being called the welsh xavi and missing a sitter at Goodison his time here is an absolute blank space to me.

Litmanen wasn't a cult hero Shirley? Genuine world class player who was slightly over the hill when we got him. Loved him though. 

 

Origi for me is more than a cult hero due to the importance of some of the goals he scored. Genuine legend in my eyes

European Cup semi and final goals. Six goals against Everton. Other late, crucial winners against Wolves and Newcastle. 
 

A bit too much end product there for Origi to be a cult hero. He took the David Fairclough template and exploded it into something unimaginable.

And to think the David Fairclough template was something quite imaginable, goes to show how incredibly spoilt we once were.  And yes, are now.

I’ve included him purely on the basis that he never lived up to his reputation with us. It was the one player I debated over for the reasons you mention but he was just injured too often for us.

Heskey was unplayable in that first season for us. He was excellent then he seemingly became timid and was happy to be the supporting player to enable owen. He was more integral to that set up.

I always thought Heskey should have had the balls to tell Houlier he wasn't a winger. As you said that first season he was brilliant.
