And you know he is going to do it again and again this season.
January is Divock’s month.

From James Milner's book:
What would your life be like if you had never met Divock Origi?
What would my life be like if I’d never met him? Probably a lot less fun. Seeing him can only help me chill out – relatively speaking. How can I be stressed if this guy is just floating around on Planet Origi, super-chilled, smiling, leaving a trail of his possessions behind him?
Sometimes when you speak to him in the dressing room, you’re not sure if he’s listening. ‘Does he remember what the manager has been telling us all week? Does he even know who we’re playing today?’ And then he’ll come on in a big game and he’ll produce the perfect performance as a sub – and you think, ‘Yes, he was listening after all.’

Thing is, he's done so much more than him.
It was Me
can you just be content with winning by 3 or 4 from now on
Not yet, that was a late 1-0, I want my team to show me they can get to 1-0 in the first 20 mins and hang onto it. Then I want them to go back to scoring 2 or more goals
i think you should support athletico if this is the sort of thing you enjoy
I thought Fabinho was the worst player on the pitch
Nah, that’ll be Jota, Mane or Salah
I though Hendo was quite poor. Not sure if it was him or the tactics he was asked to play. Either way ineffective.
What's Matip doing 😛
Not easy to quantify Origi's value to the squad. Used as a sub or a cup player most of the time. Does have a knack of scoring the odd vital goal. Not many were supprised when he struck at the death today. Curious player in that he has no great pace, not that aggressive in the air, doesn't appear to have any sort of thunderbolt strike on him. Yet he is becoming a bit of talisman due to his almost mystical late late goals.
Fairclough hated the supersub tag and I think Divock doesn't want that tag either. Reality is most fans and probably the Boss has no plans to give Divock any more game time than he already gets. The Boss is far less emotional than people think. Beneath that bohemian cool exterior lurks a ruthless stubborn core.

I don’t think he minds being supersub. According to Milner, nothing really bothers him.
And, he does have things in his locker. He’s not slow, he’s strong, and plays well with his back to the goal.
True.
I had a busy and somewhat crap day today, but every time I thought of Origi scoring a 94th minute winner I couldn’t help but have a huge grin on my face.
In a way, there is nothing sweeter than this. If Origi didn’t exist, someone should have surely invented him, the happy-go-lucky, Rasta deity of last-minute glory.

Looks like that would be a great read thanks for sharing that. I'll have to put that on wish list for Cheatham
