What should Liverpool do with Divock Origi?
I won’t hear a bad word said against Divock Origi, but the club need to sell him this summer.
He’s a cult hero for what he did during the 2018/19 campaign and there’s absolutely no disputing that. It is still surreal to think back to that season and his involvement in it. He was chucked on late against Everton with Liverpool looking to sneak a win and he was in the right place to nod home after Jordan Pickford’s error. …
Why hasn't Divock Origi kicked on from Madrid - and is Klopp to blame?
Not only did Divock Origi's goal in the Champions League final reaffirm Liverpool's status as European royalty it also provided the impetus for this season's title bid. However, one person the goal seems to have had the least impact on is the man who actually provided that moment of magic in Madrid. There's no doubting Origi will be remembered extremely fondly by Reds' fans having scored a countless number of important goals, but, you can't help but feel he hasn't …
Liverpool 1-1 Manchester City - Observations as City nick Community Shield
It was the stereotypical game of two halves at Wembley Stadium, as Liverpool came out second best after a penalty shootout, that saw 9 out of 10 penalties hit the back of the net. Unfortunately, Gini Wijnaldum was the unlucky one, and the Reds had to be content with what you could possibly call a moral victory, but I'm sure Jurgen Klopp and the players would've rather had the silverware to show for it.
City took the lead after questionable …
Player Ratings as Liverpool Lose Community Shield on Penalties
Liverpool concluded their pre-season preparations with a penalty shootout defeat to reigning Premier League champions Manchester City in the Community Shield. After a poor first-half performance, the Reds looked by far the better team in the second and probably deserved to come away with the “trophy”. Liverpool fans should be optimistic about the season ahead after this one with many players yet to hit full fitness and Sadio Mane still to return.
Alisson: 6
Unlucky with the Sterling goal. Had …
No Need to Sign a Striker This Summer
After enjoying a goal-laden season Liverpool are apparently in the market for a new striker, after losing Daniel Sturridge at the end of his contract with the club.
The club, despite scoring 115 goals in all competitions last season, are believed by some to be short at the front end of the pitch.
With Sadio Mane, Mohammed Salah and Roberto Firmino leading the line it's safe to say goals will not be a problem next season.
In-depth strength is a …
Divock Origi: Does He Have a Liverpool Future?
He's had a bit of a tough time of things over the last two seasons has Divock Origi.
After enjoying a relatively successful start to his Liverpool career under Brendan Rodgers and then perhaps the best time in a Liverpool shirt at the start of Jürgen Klopp's reign saw him being touted as one for the future.
Some of his goals in the 2015/16 season, particularly those crucial ones en route to the Europa League final, made him a real …
Could loaning Divock Origi cost Liverpool the title?
Amid the madness of Deadline Day, Divock Origi's loan move to Wolfsburg went a little un-noticed.
Touted after the striker wasn't included in squad's for either of the last two Premier League games, Jürgen Klopp granted Origi his wish of more first team football by sanctioning a move to the Bundesliga side.
Liverpool have done well financially from the deal, Wolfsburg paying Origi's wages plus a rumoured loan fee of six million pounds.
On the surface, it seems a good …
