Idk everyone else’s opinion but I really think we look weaker off the bench since Origi left. The lad had his share of poor performances and dodgy misses but he had the movement and turn of pace to leave defendersnfor dead and scored a few as well. Think the last few league games have really shown that. Solanke still too raw and needs to learn his own game as a slower striker before being relied on to replace Bobby in games.

Origi was certainly a better bench option last season than Solanke and Ings have been this season.

Agree with BennyP, Divock offered much more than Solanke.

Origi left coz we bought Solanke and that reduced his game time! Mistake was buying Solanke and not loaning Origi! Origi has pace and strength very much a Welbeck / Iwobi kind of a player. Doesn’t score enough like them! He isn’t having a very poor season in Germany!

That is not true, Harry. Ed01 had said at the time that Origi left cos Studge could not be sold so he would be third on the pecking order, in Klopp's mind (Ed01, please correct me if I'm wrong) . A guy like that will not be hanging around here for that reason and why should he? That is why he left to get game time cos unlike Solanke, he has a WC to go to. Solanke has nothing to do with Origi leaving. Solanke is not and has NEVER been his equal (comparing him to Welbeck or Iwobi is just ludicrous cos they are not his equals either, IMO), that much is fact and the numbers bear that out. If you wanna moan about what made Origi leave, look to the no. 15 shirted guy at WBA. Not Studge's fault BUT there you go.

Yes definitely. Hope he comes in, in the summer, with a hunger to regain his place in the team.
