Really don’t rate Ings at all. We’d be better getting rid.

Origi is young and would have been a good option on the bench - he at least has some pace and hold up the ball. He’s scored 10 goals in consecutive seasons for us so there is the goal threat. Such a shame he hasn’t kicked on.
I'm not convinced about Origi's attitude, and anything less than full commitment just won't suit Klopp.
 
So many rumours going around that another Monday transfer is likely...

Now this one will get me excited. Looks absolute quality. Strong player so should suit the PL perfectly....
 
Liverpool are NOT on the brink of concluding a deal for Nabil Fekir – but remain determined to snap up the £60million-rated Lyon midfielder. (@LivEchoLFC)

No specific examples, I don't keep notes. :)
It's an overall impression I have. It just seems that he's too much of a mood player.
I could be wrong.

Ok. The reason I ask is because it reminds me of the criticism that Sturridge receives, in that he’s lazy, arrogant, bad attitude. Also similar to the horrible criticism that sterling receives from the media.

No mate, I always supported Sturridge. I think he's a talented footballer whose career has been blighted by his body's fragility.
Tbh, I'm not even saying I think Origi is unwilling as such - just that he's one of those who needs to be in the right frame of mind.
I'd be happy with him staying, but he's a long way off our current front 3.

We will have Keita, Fekir and Ox who all do what Lallana supposedly does and more.

And I don’t buy into this Lallana is a key player myth. He’s been missing for the whole season and we’ve had no tail off in terms of performance.

I actually don’t mind him as a squad player but he’s physically unreliable.

He's not a key player now but he was not too long ago.

I can't make my mind up on Lallana TBH. It's a squad game and he offers something most of our midfielders don't, however he also lacks a end product too. He can also play up top at times although I think he's poor out wide too.

I'm 50:50 on whether he stays or goes.
 
The summer is always brimming with possibilities. It can be quite exciting thinking of your possible new line ups.

To be a bit more realistic, iIdont think we should be looking for replacements. More for quality additions if we sign belly and fekir, we still need to keep lala and one of ings or origi. If this season showed us one thing , a few injuries and we where in the ****.

Yep, sign quality players that improve the first team and let the squad sort itself. Theoretically, the squad gets better as a result.

Origi suffers because he's not as energetic or willing to run as our other forwards. Nor does he get enough goals to warrant that effort level (unlike Studge).

As a backup, I don't mind him but it wouldn't fill me with confidence seeing him come off the bench when chasing a game.

Ings is the better player in my opinion but origi is young and not so injury prone and hopefully can improve more.

They're both young but past the age where youth can be blamed for mistakes. I like Ings, remove the injuries and I think he could/would be a decent forward. If we kept one over the other I'd keep Ings.
 
so imo any story that says fekir is just nuts as most say he is going to turn up at.melwood.


it's June. the world cup camps are in full swing.... ino theres no chance of a deal.

international.managers dont want it

Wouldnt say they all donwhat Lallana does. Keita is box to box apparently. Fekir is most similar and Ox is more a runner and drive.

Lallana actually links up between the midfield and forwards.

Id much rather have Lallana on the bench to bring on than not.

Does make me laigh everyone saying how weve been short of options this year especially in midfield but is happy for us to get rid of players who have been first team players
 
Lallana’s role in the team is the attacking mid in the midfield trio. If we get Fekir, it would mean we have Fekir and Ox who play that role. Does Lallana get in?

I don’t mind keep Lallana as a squad option - just don’t see how he fits into our strongest XI and maybe our second strongest.

Thata the point. No ones saying he gets into strongest squad but he is definitely a good option to have.

May I ask for examples of where you felt Origi’s attitude and commitment are not at the level required?

you can Google klopp saying the guy has no rhythm at one stage and given klopp ****ed him out on loan I think you only need then see what his manager's in France and Germany have said about his ethic as well

there's lots and lots of evidence of this if you care to look
