for Origi, he must take his chances against the vulnerable Rorigo Funes Mori at the heart of the Everton defence if he wants to put himself ahead of his serious competition in the race for starts at Liverpool.
With Origi on the wings Liverpool would have a rapid and interchangeable front three who, if they couldn't hoodwink their markers with their immense skills, would almost certainly be too quick to stop.
Did well to clear from under his own crossbar after Moreno's drilled cross with the score at 2 - 0, and didn't misplace a single pass in the opening half, but did lose the run

Origi most of the time.
