OPINION
This section of Liverpool fans are right – Divock Origi has been incredibly poor in this first half against Wolves in the FA Cup. He has provided no sort of threat, and as one fan pointed out, it is puzzling why he does not provide more of an aerial threat when you consider his size. It is easy to see why he is so far down the pecking order at Anfield – and why Liverpool choose to only play him in Cup games. The threat of Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino has been seriously missed here, but one thing is for sure – they are hardly going to be quaking in their boots, especially with the Reds 1-0 down. Another supporter described the Belgian as “atrocious” while another one said he has been “pathetic” – and it is rather easy to agree with them. Origi is just making Klopp’s selection even easier, as there is no doubt he will be dropped after this game – especially if the verdicts of these fans are anything to go by.

What did Liverpool fans do to deserve this? Watching Moreno, Origi and Sturridge at the same. Going to be a long 90 minutes. #lfc

For such a big strapping CF Origi has little to no physical presence or aerial ability. It's puzzling to say the least. #WOLLIV

Anyone that wants to pay over 20m for Origi needs a medical #lfc
