I'm glad Origi is coming to be honest. Let's be honest, he's not scored many goals but he is definitely an upgrade on our current strikers and this means Sterling doesn't have to play upfront and be wasted.
1.) The poor bloke hasn't scored a goal since October in a league nowhere near the Premier League. i'm not too sure how you think he will help us much. Remember he is only 19?
2.) 04 Jan 2015 22:05:23
He is new signing Irish , so he must be brilliant . give them 2 months and soon they change their tune.
3.) I don't Think he will come ununtil the summer.
4.) It's too early for him and a ridiculously poor decision by the club if true, he needs nurturing, not being thrown in at the deep end when things are going badly.
5.) Hes going to be very ordinary trust me.
6.) Maybe ordinary is what we need. were performing far below what Liverpool should ordinarily be. ha.
7.) Roy. Who is they?

Listen, I love Gerrard to absolute bits. He was one of the best players in the world from 2004-2009 no matter where he played in the midfield. The truth is. Gerrard's days ended when he had to play under Roy Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish and Brendan Rodgers. Rafa Benitez knew how to get the best out of him. He took the passion out of his game by playing him on the right wing where he would be only involved in attacking and setting up chances. Then moved him to attacking midfield to assist Torres. Worked like a treat. As soon as Hodgson came in? "Stick him in CM and tell him to be a box to box". Rubbish.
Same with Kenny.
Rodgers did the same in his first season but the 2 seasons before under; quite frankly poor managers ruined him and he would never get back to his best.
Nowadays his legs are gone. He's nothing like he was. When Roy Hodgson came in, he was only 30, still had the legs. Just not used correctly. Instead was shoved to CM to accommodate Joe Cole.
Unfortunately, from 2009-2015, Gerrard's career has been a failure and I wouldn't blame it on him. He was used incorrectly and had to play under bad managers and with even worse players than the Houllier days.
This is why I think Frank Lampard has had a better career and will be deemed as the better player. Frank has been able to manage his deterioration and hasn't looked lost. It's also helped him that he hasn't had to play under managers with no clue whatsoever and players who have rocks for brains.
Don't get me wrong, Steven from 2004-2009 was the best midfielder in the world in my opinion but unfortunately his career will be defined by the things he hasn't won and the things he has slipped up on.
1.) I think you are forgetting all the injuries he picked up from around 28 till now. The last few years have been better but i think that is what killed his legs.
2.) On who is better b/w he and Lampard, it is a pointless argument IMO. As for his detioration, the way he plays was mainly the reason he got burnt out as well as managers not knowing what or how to use him effectively. According to Ed01, SG had very little confidence in his teamates and always felt he had to do everything and sometimes it worked. However, I do believe that we had relied upon him for way too long and the best thing to have happened was to show that we play better without him and some of our better games and results in the past 18 months have been w/o him in the team. The system we play is a system that requires EVERYONE to b on their game and ONLY SG is the passenger. No passengers are allowed at LFC anymore and the quicker we shed them (GJ, Skrtel and the like), the better. All in all, SG will always be in our hearts and based on evidence, we will be better off w/o him and that is a victory in itself.
Stupid idea. We don't have to retire a great squad number to show our appreciation for him. I'm pretty sure 150k a week and voted 1st or 2nd best player ever to play for us is appreciation enough. I'd quite like to save it for a youngster who is coming through like Rossiter, if he proves he is worthy of a valuable squad number.
