There was a long discussion about Origi and whether he was worth keeping in the squad. I said we're should definitely keep him because he's something different to our other options making him a great impact sub. Seems I'm being outgunned right yet again
Yeah, I was always in favour of keeping him. He will start some games but I'm loving these little cameos recentlyThere was a long discussion about Origi and whether he was worth keeping in the squad.

He's in good form and looks confident, Klopp says he's in 'really good shape' at the moment
He's got good acceleration and quick feet, two perfect attributes for a impact sub once the opposition are getting tired.
He's in his best ever form. Hopefully he's happy with his role, at his age he should be looking to play every week to maximise his development.
The simple fact that he wants to play for Liverpool is the keyword his time will come as a regular.
Seem to remember on many occasions he has said that if a 'striker feels contact they're entitled to go down' what a GOBSHITE.
Mane doesn’t need to go to ground, but it is a foul - don’t go to ground and you don’t get that foul.
He was wiped out last week and didn’t even appeal for one

You've got to give the ref a descion to make, is the old adage.
If your honest in football you get **** all.
What irritated me most about the MOTD crowd was their assertion that Klopp's post-match anger over the Choudhury tackle was a "deflection" because he was embarrassed over the penalty.
We know that they're biased, we all are to differing extents - but I'm pretty damn sure that even though Klopp is too, he was convinced that it was a penalty and a red card offence. No "deflection" there at all - just his take on things.
My own take is that Mané made the most of it (he often does), but there was definite contact that prevented him from playing the ball, so it's a pen.
There may well have been no intent to hurt on Choudhury's part (only he can know that), but it was reckless and ends up injuring someone so a red would not have been excesssive, imo.

On the Choudhary tackle my take was that he would have been booked for
A ) a professional foul
B ) the lunge from behind with no possibility of getting ball but getting the man
and that foul met both the criteria but refs always just give a yellow. Mind you wasn't as bad as Kompays last year also on Salah .

Plus the guy is the definition of "that kind of player" and only just back from suspension for injuring another player
Yeah. I read that but hadn't been aware of it beforehand. In that case he needs a red card to make it clear to him that that type of tackle is unacceptable and he has to rein it in.
