The Belgian forward played a stalling role in what was a memorable week for the Merseyside reds. All thanks to the heroics from the striker, and all hasn't gone unnoticed by the manager. The German was even quick to tag the week "Divock Origi's week ", after helping Liverpool overcome Newcastle and most recently Fc Barcelona at Anfield to book a place in Champions League final. Absence of regular attacking options due to injuries for Roberto Firminho and Mo Salah have left Jurgen Klopp with no option but to trust the Belgian to lead the line, an opportunity he made good use of. He said "When you think about how much he was not playing, maybe you think that I don't like the player that much or I don't trust him too much. That is actually not right.
"Divock was just so unlucky and I'm very happy that he is really back on the landscape again."
The manager was quick to acknowledge the contributions made by the striker who has 6 goals in as many starts this season.
