What's up with Divok?

One thing is evident is that we need a proper number 9. Firmino works hard but doesn't score enough and also misses good chances.

Origi is still work in progress and Sturridge retired in 2013.

I'd say that's fair Kash. No idea who we'll get though and not sure where that will leave Firmino. Saying that we're top scorers I think and I reckon a wide forward is just as important a need.

Considering he was a doubt before the match yesterday I've not got a problem with his contribution when he came on. Like others have said he's young and his form will come in fits and starts. Too early to write him off IMO. He got an assist against Burnley and scored a few earlier in the season. He's a good option off the bench at the mo which is an area we are lacking.

Origi seems to lack self belief like Lukaku did a few years ago

If Origi, like Lukaku, starts to use his power and pace then he could be a good player but up until he does then he is not currently good enough.

That's the thing with young players. They go through phases. It's especially hard when you're in and out of the team and out of position. I've already had to admit I was wrong about him as when he's in a good phase you can see the huge potential. I didn't see it before.

IMO origi is a decent finihser i nand around the box and has a nice curler form the left side in his locker.

BUT my god he hasn't got a clue at all about body position or protecting the all or winning possession off a long ball etc. He won't learn that sat on our bench either.

I think personally I would like to see him lent out to prem team next year. theres a few clubs i think who would be grateful to take a striker like him even with a 75% games requirement in contract.

That would be a good idea if we bought a couple of strikers as Ings has had two long injuries and Sturridge has had 5137 short injuries, leaving only Firmino who isn't a natural striker or goalscorer.

We would need to buy two before letting Origi go.

I think it's weird how some of our fans want to loan players out all the time.

You can't have a strong squad with depth if you loan your best U23's out for experience because they don't start all the time.

Origi has played a fair amount of football this season and that's without Europe.

It's very rare a player goes out on loan to another PL club and comes back better. It usually just means they are going to be sold sooner or later.

The best thing for Origi is working with Klopp every day, getting plenty of minutes when needed which he does. He still might not ever make it as a guarantee starter for us but he definitely won't if we loan him out.

I can promise you that we will continue to not challenge for titles with players like Divok - harsh but true
But if you're happy with him then great

How long will this naive idiot stick with this stupid line. You think you are the only Liverpool fan who cares? Fecking fool. You don't even know how football really works so just fack off. You should apply for the managers job seeing as you are already above ja606 levels. We should also sign Messi this summer and replace Origi. Messi will win us the league for sure.

Fool.

Hes a good player certain people are being too harsh on him. I think he be a great asset for the club in the future and with regular games i can see him getting at least 15 goals.
