Ex-player: Divock ORIGI

A Liverpool legend. He was principally involved in many of the club’s greatest moments of recent history - the comeback against Dortmund in the Europa League quarterfinal, the bonkers goal in the derby which had Klopp celebrating with Alisson on the pitch, the comeback against Barca in the UCL semifinal, the UCL final against Spurs. No one will ever compare him to his more prominent teammates, let alone the club’s greatest. But that he scored so many vital goals - so many memorable moments - is something that will live forever in the hearts of Reds worldwide.

And while I too wonder what could have happened with his career if Funes Morí didn’t make that awful “tackle,” I don’t think anyone should be disappointed with the outcome. He played for the best club in the world at the peak of its modern era, and cemented himself as a legend in that club’s history. That’s a career worth celebrating.

He was just starting to come into his own with Klopp’s team. I don’t think he would have gotten much better but would have been a very handy substitute for us had it not been for the cunt Funes Mori.

He had a couple of loans before and never really stood out in those loans too.

But he’s given Liverpool fans moments to cheer ,great moments too.

He always looked stoned to the eyeballs to me. Gave us some great memories.

Our lazy legend.

Are we seeing more and more players retire at a younger age like Süle and Origi this summer?

Think it’s better for Origi to retire rather than go into ignomity. His mind was never in football after he moved to Milan.

Feels like that to me too. He lost some love for football after he left Liverpool. Understandable as there was a special atmosphere at the club during Klopp’s tenure. Anyone would miss that.

It’s a reminder of how short athletes career can be.

I can never forgive Roy for breaking sturridge as well.

I probably can excuse his management of Liverpool but the way he broke sturridge was criminal.

Reminded me of how Hicks Gillette and Purslow fucked over Torres.

They told doctors to withhold info about his knee health and Rafa inadvertently played him when he should not have been playing. Permanently robbed him of his previous abilities.

I was really disappointed to find out he had not travelled with the Belgium team to Vancouver, I wore my LFC shirt in hopes of an pic with him.

No one will take the goal that sealed a CL trophy from him. So many players would love to have that to remember in their retirement years.

Did the former players travelled on their own, or were they part of an official legion?

I’m not sure what they did privately. I heard he went to SoFi stadium to watch bracket play but didn’t hear anything about Vancouver.
