#3. Divock Origi fails to impress in his rare start

Scorer of the winner in the reverse fixture, Jurgen Klopp chose Origi alongside Mane and Salah in a three-pronged attack as first-choice striker Roberto Firmino was struggling to attain full fitness after a recent knock. The Belgian had a great chance to impress his manager and make a case for himself. He would, however, be kicking himself for having blown it.

Origi offered little to no threat going forward. He looked like a fish out of water on that left flank, completely devoid of ideas and also some service. He did won three aerial tackles and made one himself, but left a lot to be desired in the job he was supposed to.

Forget scoring, Origi didn't muster even a single shot on target. His only real highlight of the match was a nutmeg he pulled on Seamus Coleman, but the Irish international ensured even that was short-lived as he recovered the ball instantly.

Origi was subbed off just minutes after the hour mark for Firmino, and it isn't a coincidence that Liverpool looked even more threatening after that.
