# Liverpool: Fans blast Divock Origi during Midtjylland clash

**Many Liverpool fans have flocked to Twitter to slam Divock Origi, who [started](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1508884/Live/Europe-Champions-League-2020-2021-FC-Midtjylland-Liverpool) the Reds’ final UEFA Champions League group stage game of the 2020/21 campaign versus Midtjylland this evening.**

Origi had [played in just five games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdaten/spieler/148368) for the Reds in all competitions this term before this game at MCH Arena, with the Belgium international not even making the squad for Liverpool’s [4-0 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/leistungsdaten/spieler/148368) this past weekend and Reds boss Jurgen Klopp confirming his absence was not due to fitness, [per James Pearce](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1336264176185057280).

Now, his return to the starting XI for this Champions League fixture has got many fans of the Merseyside club talking.

## **So, what did these Liverpool fans have to say about Origi?**

Some Reds supporters indicated that they were far from excited to see the [£14.4m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/divock-origi/marktwertverlauf/spieler/148368) attacker’s name in their starting XI for this fixture while others were quick to criticise Origi’s performance versus Midtjylland**.**
