‘I’m not having that’: TalkSPORT pundit can’t believe what Jurgen Klopp’s just said about one Liverpool player
TalkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara is just not buying what Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said about Divock Origi after the game against Everton on Sunday.
Liverpool were made to work really hard by their Merseyside neighbours in the derby. Everton really frustrated the Reds, more so than any other side has this season, but Klopp’s men managed to get the job done.
Andy Robertson headed home the opener in the 62nd minute, before Everton’s arch-nemesis Origi came off the bench and killed the game.
Klopp was a happy man post-match and he branded Origi as the . O’Hara, however, is just not ready to accept that statement.
Jamie O’Hara: I will not believe what Jurgen Klopp said about Divock Origi
The ex-Spurs man said on : “I’m not having that. All that is is man-management. A player who is on the bench and you will need, you have to keep him happy. Of course he’s a good finisher and a top-class striker, but you are telling me he’s a better finisher than Salah and Mane?
“I’m going to fizz balls at you on the 18-yard box and who would you want there? Divock Origi is probably bottom of the list. Of course I don’t agree with him [Klopp]. He’s obviously just trying to keep him on board because he’s a player who doesn’t get used very often, but can rely on him when he needs him.
“That’s great man-management. As a manager, the hardest thing to do is to keep the players on the bench happy. Divock Origi spends most of his time at Liverpool on the bench, but [Klopp] keeps praising him when he does come on and scores goals.
“He is a player they need in the squad, but he’s nowhere near the best of the players.”
Origi’s on his way out
Origi may not have been a regular for Liverpool over the years but he sure has come up with a few hugely important goals. Sadly, his time at Anfield is about to come to an end.
The Belgian only has a few months left on his contract. Liverpool haven’t offered him a new one and it’s unlikely he would’ve signed a deal even if they did. He’s set to walk away on a free transfer this summer and it looks like he has found his next club already.
Origi has been heavily linked with a move to Serie A league leaders and Italian giants AC Milan. A deal is now reportedly closer than ever.
reveal that a definitive agreement between Origi and Milan could be struck this week and the deal could become official in a matter of a few days.
