TBR View: Liverpool should avoid sentiment and offload Divock Origi
Liverpool finished their Champions League campaign with a 1-1 draw against Midtjylland and during the game a problem for Jurgen Klopp became evident.
Reds striker Divock Origi has been a decent signing for Liverpool after initially failing to make an impact.
He was signed from Lille in 2014 and instantly loaned back to the Ligue 1 outfit.
Then, when he returned to Anfield he was sent on loan to Wolfsburg to continue honing his skills.
Following his return to the club at the start of the 2018/19 campaign, he started to be utilised more by Klopp.
The 25-year-old scored eight goals that season with important strikes coming in the Champions League semi-final and final.
He did only manage eight starts though and it was a familiar situation last season.
Although he managed a few more starts, he was largely viewed as a peripheral figure, scoring six times in all competitions.
During 2020/21 he has fallen way off the radar.
He is yet to start a game in the Premier League, making just a single substitute appearance in the last minute against Leicester.
With that in mind, it looks as though the time has come for Klopp to make a tough, but ultimately, correct decision.
Origi only cost and it’s fair to say Liverpool have enjoyed their money’s worth.
His goals in the Champions League win of 2018/19 won’t be forgotten but the Reds are now holding Origi back.
He showed in Denmark on Wednesday night that his form is all over the place and that is down to a lack of game time.
Liverpool need to avoid sentiment and try and offload the striker during the January transfer window.
