LFC Daytrippers contributor Chris Brack has been discussing Divock Origi during a recent edition of the podcast.
The Reds defeated Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night, securing their place in the fourth round of the competition, with the Belgian striker getting his name on the scoresheet late on, netting Liverpool’s seventh of the night (as per BBC Sport).
Origi has scored a number of important goals for Jurgen Klopp’s side in recent years, most notably in the 2019 Champions League final in Madrid. However, according to Brack, when discussing whether it is time for the 25-year-old to move on, he argued that the fans are ‘sick of him’. Here is what he had to say in full:
“He’s just the new [Dejan] Lovren, I think everyone is just sick of him. Whether you like it or not, I think it’s got to that point where, as soon as Lovren was picked everyone [complained]. Divock’s the latest one because he is one of the few left of the old regime, I think people have just had enough of him, plus to be honest, I think we’ve just outgrown him.”
Do you think Divock Origi will leave Anfield during this window?
Yes
No
TIF Thoughts…
The former Lille forward has played 141 times for the Merseyside giants, scoring 35 goals and providing his teammates with 13 assists (as per Transfermarkt).
Origi has been linked with a move away from the club during this transfer window and according to the Daily Mail, Brighton and Hove Albion are the latest side to be considering a move for the £14.4m-rated striker, however, it remains to be seen whether that interest will develop into a concrete bid for the Liverpool man.
