I didn't notice Origi at all last night.

I was buzzing off Lukaku though. Fecking love him.

One of the lads at work looks like him too.

With or without dreads?

Well hell, he's a player then!

Without. But then, I've never seen him not wearing a hard hat so I could be wrong!

Must have just been me who noticed his excellent work rate on minimal service. When he did get the ball played to him his touch is very good, excellent speed and plays with his head up.

I don't need to see a good team performance to judge a player, you can learn more when someone is in a team being outplayed.

But hey! this is the "let's not worry about spending £28m on Rom because......" Thread. We don't need to worry about a Liverpool player here.

No mate, he was garbage... Not once did he get past a player as I recall, Christ he got outpaced by a 36 ? Year old Distin, not once did he offer any threat at all. I don't care who a player plays for, ifs he's ineffective I wil say it.

Be nice to see him score or even get in scoring positions

Dont you have Super Mario to worry about? or Lambert and Borini? 900 odd premier league minutes between all 3 and zero goals! I love that stat

Lukaku played alot better Thu,

Must be Big Dunc after training sessions

Origi holds keys of weed for Lukaku.

What was your appraisal of Origi from last night @hafnia, now you've seen him for about 3 games like?

haha i'd forgotten i'd had that battle with him. origi was pretty anonymous in both games when he was up against tony hibbert - a man known to evertonians as getting ripped apart by every pacey winger in the world - jefferson montero has had one good game in his swansea career.

origi couldn't even help his team score 1 goal in 180 mins against a weak and understrength defence ... much more of the finished article than lukaku eh @NEC?

The kid is going to be the best all around striker in the world within a few years. He's got every tool in the box, and a great attitude to go with it. He's also got Dunc and Eto'o to mentor him. You're starting to see him put the pieces together. No doubt in my mind, he will be favorably compared to Drogba in his prime in the very near future. I'm not saying he'll score as many as Messi or Ronaldo, but he will do things they won't even think of or can't.

johnny I love your enthusiasm ,the lad did well on Thursday ,he's no drogba and he doesn't have all the tools in the box or he would not be at everton, what he does have is the best coach on the planet to teach him the 2 main tools he has missing ,working with Duncan Ferguson is a master stroke.

Lol, Lukaku's boss.

At the age Origi is now (19) Rom was at West Brom where he slotted 17 Premier League goals.

They are two completely different players. Lukaku will never be able to do what Origi is capable of (his technique is brilliant); but Origi will never slot goals as easily as Lukaku does. It depends what kind of striker you need in your team, I guess.

The kind that scores goals or the kind that gets shackled by Tony Hibbert?

I'd much rather have Rom. Someone who can create a goal from nothing and has a finish that beggars belief when on form. Much rather have that than a guy who can take a ball down and run. Goals win games.

True. I jus meant to say that they are different types of player, so it's no use comparing them. If your team already has a slotter or a scoring midfield, Origi might be your type of striker. Otherwise, Lukaku's the obvious choice. Both are stil exceptionally young for strikers and already show great maturity.

If what Lukaku said is true, and this was the first time all year we've seen him truly fit, I have a feeling he is going to go on a massive run of goalscoring form.
