Liverpool striker Divock Origi has welcomed the “change in tactics” under Jurgen Klopp and says he will play anywhere for the German coach. “I can learn as much as I can and hopefully put that back into my game, as a team [member] and as an individual and improve”.
Since Klopp’s arrival, Liverpool have lost both Joe Gomez and Danny Ings to anterior cruciate ligament injuries and, earlier this week, vice-captain James Milner withdrew from global duty after picking up a hamstring problem.
Last season, Jordon Ibe racked up five goals before Christmas at Derby County, and was duly brought back to Anfield where he immediately established himself as an important member of the first-team squad.
Brazilian pair Coutinho and Roberto Firmino were on target for the Reds, as a number of first-team stars got a run-out during the worldwide break.
“I would like him to do business in the January window because there is everything to play for”.
Liverpool have confirmed Mamadou Sakho will be sidelined for six to eight weeks following his consultation with a knee specialist.
Klopp experienced his first defeat over the weekend against Crystal Palace after seven matches in charge, but Rush has seen enough to suggest that the ex-Borussia Dortmund tactician is the right choice for the long haul.
“Everybody at the club believes in me so I have to work hard and try to maximise every moment of playing time I get”.
“Of course, those youngsters at Dortmund didn’t just become a little bit better either – a few of them, like Robert Lewandowski, have become players who are operating at the highest level in the Champions League”.

“I hadn’t seen those stats [covered 11km] but it is nice to know that I was able to contribute in this way”.
