Afternoon lads

Origi has been worrying me our last few games. I love his enthusiasm but i really don't know has he the awareness to be a success. I hope I'm proved wrong but not looking likely

What do ye make of him, I also do understand he is young

Cheers.

Erm its difficult. The last few games none of Liverpool's players (apart from Coutinho really) have been playing particularly well. It would of been interesting to see him earlier on in the season when we was playing better football to judge him. Yet when Coutinho, Firmino and Mane are in the team, I don't see him getting in.

Give him Time, I am very confident about him I think he will kick on in time and be our next number 9 I think.

He has very poor football intelligence- always appears to run into trouble and needs to simplify his game rather than just running the ball into blind alleys.

Everyone plays better when Mane is on the pitch. He seems to stretch teams at the back which gives Origi more room to play in.

Origi like most of our players seems to do well against the bigger teams I think, his advantages don't lie with the quick passing we get with Firmino and Coutinho and he's pretty much our only striker that is good in the air.

He is still young, he'd be a great option off the bench the fact we have to rely on him so heavily because of injuries puts his limitations in the spotlight. Give him some more time 22 is still really young. I'd be more inclined to have a go if he didn't put a shift in but he clearly does.

I get the impression with Origi that he was easily able to bully and outrun people at youth level and never really had to learn to be a bit more savvy than that.

Still he's only just gone 22, has only had two stop-start seasons at this level, showed at the end of last season that he can be a good player. It'd be nice (and possibly good for him too) if we had Sturridge or Mane available and didn't have to depend on him under these high pressure circumstances, but it is what it is.

Origi is talented with all the tools needed to be the modern day CF. He just needs time and game time to put it all together. He's young and still learning the game so he needs time and experience to become effective and more savvy.
