I haven't been overly impressed with him on the admitedly few occasions I've seen him but our season might have been different had our strikers ONLY managed 8 goals each.

I think an encouraging sign with Origi is that he seems to step up around the better players when he's picked for Belgium. I still think he looks a potentially brilliant striker.
[article=http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-bound-divock-origi-doesnt-5759789]The French newspaper L’Equipe is infamous for their strict review of the weekly Ligue 1 games, but they don’t always call it down the line.
But Liverpool fans need not despair - there is no way Origi should be anywhere near that list.
Unlike in England, L’Equipe are very reluctant to handout high grades. Since their records began there has been only seven players have ever been awarded a Perfect 10. Even nines are a rarity and a great performance will usually get you no more than an eight.
Origi’s teammate Sofiane Boufal delivered three assists in Lille’s 4-1 win over Metz on Saturday, if it was in England, he would have been awarded a nine or a ten - L’Equipe granted him a 7/10.
It is different to how rankings are awarded in Britain. In L’Equipe you start with a four or a five, if you have an average game, you can expect to stay there. Play well and you can usually make the Team of the Week with a 7/10 – in England you're more likely to start with a seven.
Looking at the small print of L’Equipe’s “Worst Team” it states that this is based only on players that have received more than 21 grades. That rules out forwards like Nicki Bille Nielsen – one goal in 19 games for relegated Evian - or Metz striker Juan Manuel Falcon – four goals in 21 appearances.[/article]
