Not if we get the forward we need in early in January - I love Divock for the goals he's scored unexpectedly, against Barca through them not really taking him seriously as a threat in any way shape or form and other players putting both his goals on an absolute plate for him for example, but after 6 years he still hasn't grasped what it is he needs to do to help the team play at its highest levels and he doesn't understand basic triggers he should be responding to with appropriate movement and where he should be moving and never has and I don't think he ever will
The vast majority of all Divocks goals haven't come through any great team play involving him or him reading the play and making great movement to be found to finish, the vast majority of them have just fallen to him or been presented to him by sheer rub of the green and bounce of the ball good fortune of it falling kindly for us and him.
He is an infuriating player to watch, the ball will go to Trent or Robbo, or to a midfielder wide advanced of them that practically everyone watching will know is going to go back to Trent or Robbo in space to cross and Origi will be running back away from goal coming short congesting the area they are looking to receive the ball in space in for a first time cross, instead of understanding and having learned what's about to happen and getting in a great position to attack the ball in that is going to arrive, he just doesn't get it, he really lacks game intelligence, I genuinely, without being offensive think he is a bit simple
