Just wait till he plants one into the top corner in the 96th minute of the Milan Derby. Bonnie Tyler will be buying a new yacht

Il calcio senza Origi non è nulla

Good goal. That Diaz is some player.

You know he would have scored against Nottingham

Happy Birthday Divock still kind of miss him.

Many happy returns to a great player and an even greater man!

The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

He's three games away from the Champions League final.

Three wins away from holding it aloft again.

Any coincidence that we're midtable after he leaves and Milan are on for their first European Cup success in a generation?

Football without Origi is nothing.

Rumours Gerrard wants him at whatever blood soaked club he joined.

I'm beginning to dread every time I see a "Former LFC Player" thread return to the top of the page....

He hasn’t been a success anywhere away from Liverpool. He’s just not a good player. He had a couple of huge moments here that he hasn’t had to paper over cracks elsewhere.

Bit harsh considering what Funes Mori did to him.

Origi had to reinvent himself as a player after his injury. Worked great for us - he was invaluable as a bit part player and super sub, but it's a very niche role. Other fan bases are less patient.

We had such a powerful attack we could afford to indulge ourselves, but even with that, to say he wasn't a good player is wide of the mark for me.

Welcome back to the Premier League Big Div...

I hadn't seen him on the pitch in months for Forest, but he had a typical cheeky backheel flick into space for Neco to run onto that resulted in their second goal against the Hammers. Worth a look if anyone can track down a highlight.

Think he scored his first goal for them in the FA Cup a few weeks ago. A teammate's shot deflected off him into the net.

Can we borrow him for the final?

Didn't know he was at Forest. Bloody lovely assist today.

Red Beret · « **Reply #5578 on:** March 2, 2024, 06:32:26 pm »

Was out Divocked today. That's what Forest gets for not using him as a sub.

Fromola · « **Reply #5579 on:** March 3, 2024, 10:20:32 am »

Thought he was their main threat at least in the first half and looked up for it. Glad to see him go off.

Weird how few goals he's scored outside of Liverpool though and other than Forest (where's he's only got one goal in the cup against a lower league team) he's playing at a weaker standard. Only scored 29 goals for club and country outside of Liverpool in over 200 games. Scored 41 for Liverpool in fewer games.

He has obviously had moments in his career that a lot of players could only dream of, but he will always be an enigma.

Clearly there is a hell of a player in there but he could never show it on a regular basis. Was never the same after that injury either.

Spanish Al · « **Reply #5581 on:** March 3, 2024, 09:11:39 pm »

The very definition of a cult hero is Div, or maybe a cult-legend.

That injury came at a time when he was flying and it never seemed to fall for him again after that but he really did have all the tools to be top class.

Part of what made him great, and perhaps part of what stopped him becoming great consistently, is his nonchalance.
