Saw that yesterday. My thought was 'he'll fit in perfectly over there'.
Divock Origi
- Thread starter Rozay
- Start date
RAWKnuts are absolutely going to love him
It's probably going to take 1 goal in pre season for them to proclaim him better than Sterling.
He's average tbh.
Difock is he on about.
This lad, Balotelli and perma-crock Sturridge as their forward line. Surely they'll try for more?

The OTT praise each time a player joins a new team never gets old.
His first statement surely negates his second? If they have the quality to be at the top then Rodgers can't be World Class.
His name sounds like an old British insult.
"My mate Calum is a complete and utter divock."
Just me?

I know people don't like mega threads but some players don't deserve a new topic created for them. Plus it's interesting to contrast the positivity prior to his signing vs. now.
He looks absolutely rubbish. Another Ngog and the like. Is it just me or is Liverpool's record with strikers in the past decade particularly bad?

I seem to recall loads of dippers desperate to recall him early from Lille last season.
Doubly funny, as at the time French press were putting him in their "worst Ligue 1 11's".
That was his crap team though, he'd clearly have lit it up at Liverpool....
Martial is a poor man's Origi. (RAWK)
He's shite. I thought that watching him at the WC yet it somehow convinced Liverpool to sign him. I miss Brendan.
Their record with transfers overall in the last years seems like a right piece of dung. You look at their midfield today which is Can, Milner and Leiva and come to a conclusion that James fecking Milner is their best 'central midfielder'.
Because we had no fit strikers at the time apart from Balotelli and Lambert. Call me up over them pair
I find it hard to be tough on Origi. He's our 4th choice striker and could really do with a loan move, but injuries to the three ahead of him have thrust him straight into a starting position. Doesn't look like he's ready - Maybe he never will be, but I'm still not unhappy with the punt given his age and the players (when fit) ahead of him.
He's pretty shit, isn't he?
God he's useless, I thought there might be something but no.
Better than Lukaku, they said.
Well at least we've got another Belgian better than Lukaku.
Reminds me of Martial, except without the talent.
Benteke isn't better than Lukaku.
Benteke? Agree that he's a good player but i think he and Lukaku are at a similar level and Lukaku is 2 years younger.
Take another bow Brendan
Who? Can't be benteke you're talking about?
Another example of why you do not sign a player entirely because of their performance in an international tournament.
Martial is a poor man's Origi don't you know.
He did score 8 in 32 games, surely that doesn't warrant a 'worst French XI across all four leagues'? I call sensationalist bullshit that is worthy of rags. I now have my own opinion of what I think of l'Equipe.
Dortmund just couldn't cope with him.
Your opinion is correct, their sources are solid but they do act like a rag.
Edit: But Origi was shite too, he seems to have improved though.
To be fair, he had an awful bottom level for Liverpool before his turnaround in confidence and form for Klopp.
He was poor earlier in the season but bulked up and now looks much better for it.
I didn't see him lose any battles with centrebacks or fullbacks. That skilful shimmy past a few defenders before shooting over the near post wasn't a one off, he was taking the piss out of them all night. Admittedly, Dortmund aren't a great defensive team but they're still a top team with top players.
@JPRouve I also almost lost confidence in him earlier this season but he still scored 8 goals for Lille in a very defensive side. There would have been other average strikers in more progressive teams that would have scored less.
Turning into a bit of a cracker.
I didn't have any hope that he'd be a success here but he's been sensational over the last couple of months. The boy looks a talent, really has been a huge difference in his performances recently.
Quick, strong, good on the ball. Hope he keeps going.

Very impressive today.... Hummels was hugging him all the time just to get hold of him. On top of it he seems to be more intelligent than the average footballer, he comes across as a very modest guy with a good attitude.
Hummels clearly didn't fancy it against Origi.
Not even 21 yet. Glad to see he's improving & long may it continue.
