Had a cracking game tonight, really loving it in this competition. Felt for him with peno miss, would have hated for him to lose the tie.
There is a player in there for sure but I don't think he's as versatile as we maybe thought. He does well when he's playing through the middle but seems to be a bit anonymous otherwise. Wonder would be looking at Bobby in the 10 with Jota & Minamino as a front two during the AFCON. Seems like the most logical system for Origi to slot into too.
Our best player for most of the game today especially when he drifted in centrally. Doing well in the cups against lower level teams probably shows were he is at so can see why not too many teams in for him in January. Could easily move on in the summer you would think if he keeps going well in cup games.
Mad the way he plays so well in the Cup competitions. This time around he had a great game against PL team in Norwich, probably the best player on the night. That was the Taki we thought we were getting for peanuts, if he can ever replicate that a regular level he may be worth holding on to as a squad player. Seems popular with his teammates when you look at he celebrations after the League Cup win, he did as much to get us there in that competition and they made sure he got acknowledged for it.
I don't think there's any argument whether he's worth holding onto as a squad player or not. If he wants to stay its a no brainer at this point.
Goal against Leicester in the league cup with Kelleher in the goals will be my abiding memory of him. That was actually a great win. Great player but impossible to get games with the lads ahead of him.
