Origi was excellent vs the US, only mistake was not anticipating the defender missing the ball as it rolled across the box. Hold up, pace and intelligence were fully on show. The US were dead on their feet when Lukaku came on.

In fairness though Lukaku impressed me more in a cameo than Origi did in 90 mins against the US. I accept that was against a team dead on their feet though.

In fairness this is the first time a lot of people are seeing Origi in this world cup. They haven't watched him play club football. Its not the best way of seeing how good a player is.

I'm not saying i know a lot about him, just that I'm not judging him on his WC performances and certainly not in 20 mins like another poster.

No harm in the trial anyway. Looked really good in that game when he came on. Would be very cheap and likely make his money back in marketing given the US owners and him being a US international. A HUGE amount of people over there were watching that game and he was the brightest player. No harm I say.

I wasn't belittling him (if thats the implication?, i dont know).

Christ, hark at thee. I mentioned that 20 minutes in he hadn't a touch of the ball. This is down to the system that Wilmots is playing rather than anything on the player's part. Rein it back a bit there eh?

Sorry mate, but the way you left the post earlier made it seem like you weren't impressed by a player watching just 20 mins. Had you followed up the statement with the above i wouldn't have critiqued the post harshly.

Origi the youngest player since the 50's to play a WC QF?

What age was Terry Phelan during USA 94?

We didn't get to the quarters in 94, he was 27

All he was missing was a goal, had a few decent opportunities.

He does look an exciting prospect.

Porrridge. Not exactly a catchy word but should keep us going till half time anyway.

Ok I have been beavering away on the Daniel Sturridge chant.

The tune its to be set against is "Love and Marriage" made famous by Sinatra.

So it goes....

Daniel Sturridge, Daniel Sturidge,
He's even faster than a horse and carriage,
This I tell you brother,
He gets a goal and then another.

Daniel Sturridge, Daniel Sturridge,
He's a striker that you can't disparage,
Ask the local gentry,
They will tell you play em' centrally.

Try, Try, Try to stop him scoring,
Its an illusion,
Try, Try, Try and you will only come,
To this conclusion.

Daniel Sturridge, Daniel Sturidge,
Faster than a horse and carriage,
Dad was told by mother,
He gets a goal and then another.

Raif Severance · 05-07-2014 06:53PM

I didn't know Big Sam was part of Belgium's Coaching Staff.

You need 11 syllables for the 2nd lines.

"He's even faster than a horse and carriage"
"He's a striker that you can't disparage" would work.

Anyone know if there is any truth to Agger's house being up for sale and also one of his restaurants in Lark Lane too?

Are people only realising now that we bought Lambert to play games?

If Sturridge is out Lambert it is. We'll be in for a WF i would think and try and add goals elsewhere in the team. And even though we are in the CL i still dont see us signing top quality just yet, so the likes of Di Maria and Sanchez will probably be out for us unless the club plays a blinder in the transfer market and I'm just not that confident they will.

But then maybe that's why Danny was so high up on BR's shopping list maybe he wanted to get him in while Suarez was here so he could learn a few things off him and then when Suarez was going to leave or be sold Danny would be ready to step in and take over as the main goal threat .
I can see Danny having a damn fine season next year once he is kept fit . It should also give lamber time to settle in so that's a good thing . I think BR might have earmarked Sturrigde because he knows city won't come in for him . Sturrigde won't leave for Chelsea and then that leaves arsenal and man utd . We won't sell him to man utd so that only leaves arsenal as a viable move and I'm sure LFC won't sell them a player too .

Rumour has it Ryan Bertrand is a done deal for £6 million.

Augmerson · 05-07-2014 08:14PM

6 million sterling for Bertrand. S'ok I guess. A season ago a few posters on here would have be glad to have him. His stock seems to have fallen since his loan to Villa where he wasn't very good but then neither were Villa. Good squad player. I would like to see us go back in for Moreno though.

That CL qualification is really drawing in the star players to take us to the next level.:(

If we're selling Suarez to Barca, surely there's enough Money there to get Moreno or somebody just as Good, right? Right?

Otherwise...

Grayditch · 05-07-2014 08:26PM

Rodgers is clearly trying to emulate the legendary England World Cup side of 2014. He needn't look past Danny Welbeck to replace Suarez and we're pretty much good to go.

NukaCola · 05-07-2014 08:32PM

Haven't seen much Bertrand before his Villa loan spell and he wasn't very good, or even showed signs that he could be good but it is a small sample size. Also he was playing in a team that are just awful and especially after January where they were putrid, i mean just terrible. Something like 8 points from a possible 45 points, but thats beside the point.

No.
No, that is just the point, Nuka.

I assume Rodgers has seen something or knows him from his time at chelsea and thinks he can do a job for us.

I hope...

Oh man the memories of Blink 182! Been a long time since I listened to them.

Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over
Honest, let's make this night last forever

Gonna miss you Luis!

Osmosis Jones · 05-07-2014 08:50PM

I'm no more skeptical about this signing than I was with Sturridge. Rodgers has worked with him before so let's just hope he's seen something in him that warrants a place in the team.

And that's the Problem I have with both Bertrand and Richards (Micah).

Even if both are Good, they have played in less Competitive Games, than most of their Peers. So it's definitely going to take them awhile, to settle.

And It's not like we're getting Top Football Prospects, with alot of Upsides.

Bertrand's 24 and Micah is already 26. At those Ages, they should have at least been Challenging for a Starting Berth, in their Respective Clubs.

But Nope! Both are still Wallowing in the Benches. Or in the Case of Richards, in the Treatment Table.

And that's not Good for a Club looking to Challenge for the Title of at least compete for Top 4.

It seems like a Waste of Money to me, unless we're selling Enrique. But why would we sell Enrique, when Bertrand's not even as Good as him?

If we're replacing Enrique, we might as well Spend some more and get someone that's actually better.

Hopefully, this Rumor is just Rubbish.

The Echo are running with the story that Sanchez favours Arsenal over other offers...

In my experience it's best to save your depression credits until it actually happens or you'll have to revert to anger a lot quicker
