Liverpool boss Klopp happy with progress of Divock Origi

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is happy with the progress of Divock Origi.

Klopp, however, admits the striker is out of sorts at the moment.

He said: "Physically, he has made another step, so that's good. He is still a young boy but on the other side, there's no rhythm at the moment, as you can see. He came in in both games but it was a little bit late and, especially at Burnley, it was a hectic game.

"It could have been a game for a striker where you come in and score immediately but it was clear we could play another 20 hours and not score a goal on this day. He made another few steps in the right direction and now it's about gaining the rhythm to find the easy way to play football.

"He's not a very experienced player, even though he has now had a few good games, but he needs still to sort all his skills - because he is so skilled - so that he can use the right skill in the right moment. It's good to work together with him."
