Exciting times for Liverpool fans: How lightning quick attackers could fit in to the Reds' team (Carl Robinson, January 16, 2015, Talk Sport)
For those who didn’t witness the striker emerge at the World Cup, Origi is very athletic and uses his explosive acceleration to beat defenders trying to face him down one on one.
Origi has scored five goals for club and country this season – one goal more than Sturridge, Balotelli and Lambert have managed for the Reds so far this campaign.
Along with his two assists for the season, Origi can play either as the main striker or cutting in from either flank.
Rodgers will look to use this versatility in combination with the returning Daniel Sturridge.
Origi will add power and pace to a front line that will leave defenders looking foolish in their wake.

Like Origi, Ibe has been gaining valuable experience on loan, notching up five goals and two assists for Derby County this season with some scintillating performances.
It is these performances that have led to Rodgers recalling the 19-year-old with a first-team role in mind.
Ibe has impressed more than just Rodgers, with Derby manager Steve McClaren saying: ““We wanted to bring players here who can get the crowd on the edge of their seats when they pick the ball up. That is what Jordon has done. He has lit us up when he has played.”
Rodgers may well look to add Ibe to an attacking four that will include Sturridge, Raheem Sterling and Origi.
Raheem Sterling's greatest gift is his unmatchable speed, which is wasted at the point of attack.
