A number of Liverpool fans have hit out at the first-half performance of Divock Origi on social media during Wednesday’s meeting with Preston North End.
Jurgen Klopp rang the changes from the 5-0 Premier League win over Manchester United on the weekend, naming a completely different XI which included a senior debut for Harvey Blair and a full debut for Tyler Morton.
However, it was Origi’s display that had a number of supporters talking online, and not for the right reasons either. The 26-year-old was making his fifth appearance of the campaign, playing in a front three alongside Blair and Takumi Minamino.
