Just scored a cracker for Lille, after getting an assist a few minutes earlier. Showed strength and speed to break away from his man, before curling it in from outside the box, lovely solo goal
Do you genuinely believe he has what it takes Oscar,for example,is he potentially at Nasri or better level?
I do, but I think it's hard to show at Lille, as he genuinely never gets the ball and when he does, no one ahead of him moves. As soon as there is any movement and interplay, he looks excellent, but that's so rare. He has what we don't have, in directness. The goal he scored today epitomised that. He picks the ball up 20 yards outside the box, shrugs off his man, runs at the back four then scores from outside the box. Our attacking options don't have that. He'd offer us a different option that we haven't really had since AJ left. Whether he can get the consistency to do it regularly, only time in our team will tell, but I can't see why not. The more he gets the ball, the better and he'd get plenty of it for us.
For the record, Origi is one of the worst players I've ever seen.
