He's not been frozen out..
He's getting the odd start and the odd sub appearance.
But, given the way the front 3 are playing and given they do what Klopp wants, and, more damning, the fact that we were more potent in the 20mins Lallana came on for him against Utd sums up it really, on current form, we're a better team without him.
At 27, nearly 28, does he have the ability to change and become the Gegenpressing focal point Klopp wants (Do what Firmino does..), I think not.
On form is he the best finisher we have, yes..
Do we want to sell, unlikely
Does he want to go, maybe
I think he will leave but he'll go in the Summer..
Only way he goes in Jan is if we have someone lined up that's just as good as him, if not better to replace him and that type of quality doesn't come cheap!

He's not been frozen out.. Not frozen out because he's rubbish but as you point out, you look far more effective without him. Doesn't seem suited to geggenpressen and also the movement of the front 3
He's getting the odd start and the odd sub appearance. - Agreed
But, given the way the front 3 are playing and given they do what Klopp wants, and, more damning, the fact that we were more potent in the 20mins Lallana came on for him against Utd sums up it really, on current form, we're a better team without him. Hence surplus to requirement (i believe). Also all the rumours, no smoke without fire and all that
At 27, nearly 28, does he have the ability to change and become the Gegenpressing focal point Klopp wants (Do what Firmino does..), I think not. Hence selling to generate funds, his valuation will only go down
On form is he the best finisher we have, yes.. Debateable, he was a wicked finisher last year and year before but 0 goals from 9 games tells its own story (teams love buying on reps though). See Torres who was fantastic and turned to **** at chelsea, milan
Do we want to sell, unlikely Not sure, you have origi and firmino who fit the style in that position
Does he want to go, maybe Again not sure
I think he will leave but he'll go in the Summer.. Agree with this
Only way he goes in Jan is if we have someone lined up that's just as good as him, if not better to replace him and that type of quality doesn't come cheap!
 
In the end (and Klopp's most likely 5 steps ahead of us all, well he better be, what are we paying him for if not!!). he doesn't fit Klopp's system, he'll be kept to play the backup roll until Summer and then we'll mutually agree to move on.
Only way he goes in Jan is..
- If someone offers silly money for him.
- We can get a replacement in.

In previous discussions with MITO, we both think that Origi may get the nod ahead of Studge to play the Mane role when he's on ACoN duty, ticks more of the boxes for Klopp..
 
How long will Origi stay with his current involvement?

One criticism of Klopp is the lateness of substitutions sometimes
Origi is young at a title contending team, and I believe Klopp invests a lot into him. So I reckon he will be happy here.

Remember we have no Europe this season, so less games to go around.

Aye I know that. Thinking for the summer.

He's 21 (22 by summer). Needs to be playing regular if he wants to be a top player. Certainly has potential.

Think we should be giving him more time rather than injury time 0-0 away to Saints etc...
 
Liverpool are reportedly considering using Daniel Sturridge as bait in a deal to sign two Southampton stars.

The striker is out of favour at Anfield and Jurgen Klopp could sanction his departure in a bid to land a pair of key transfer targets.

Liverpool want to sign defender Virgil van Dijk, 25, and winger Sam Mcqueen, 21, from the South Coast club.
