We played the ball to Origo in the bottom left corner and you could hear the West Ham players saying "take it off him"
Brilliant pass from Thiago. Was just too in front of front post to get the angle from origi. Better though
I know it's often said, but it's pretty accurate. Origi is just a waste of space here. Stands still half the time and does nothing when he does get it. You can see the players have no faith in his ability. Shaq's been great, probing and trying to create some space and Phillips has been very solid. Ox for Origi at half time please...won't happen though
Phillips had a good half, although WH did not attack much he does give us decent height for crosses and is good in the air. Origi just does not look interested and why does he keep running towards our midfield when we have the ball instead of trying to run into space. He is basically hiding from the ball. Thiago still has this rash challenge in him usually just outside our box when there is no real danger, but has completed some great passes to try and spread the game. If Salah could hold onto the ball when challenged we might achieve more. Minimoa and Bobby to come on for Shaq and Origi might improve matters, but we will probably get Ox and Bobby.
This is straight back to how we lost to Southampton, Burnley, how we drew with Fulham. Absolutely straight back to no movement, no urgency Trent made one run early and wijnaldum mplay the back back instead. Trents not made a run since. Origi should be wearing a West ham kit he is doing that much for them. Shaqiri is trying but having zero impact. I see no drive, no game plan. Salah has got to be put central and told to run off the shoulder. We are headed for straight back to the season scrap heap here with this level of performance
Trouble with that is one of them would have to go left and they're both **** out there (still better than Origi though)
Origi is only playing because he is tall. That is the only reason I can think off. His lack of effort is shocking which brings me to why does Klopp persist with him? You can be **** but put in effort. I made a point to watch him and he is just strolling. Youd think he needs a rest
