Southampton legend Le Tissier: Liverpool must send Origi January SOS

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier says Liverpool need to send a January SOS to Lille striker Divock Origi. Origi is on-loan at LOSC from the Reds.

"As far as Origi goes, I'm not sure what the contractual details are, but certainly it seems as if Brendan Rodgers is not happy with Mario [Balotelli] and he doesn't want to give Rickie [Lambert] too many chances," Le Tissier told the Daily Express.

"Fabio Borini has only been a bit part player. Rodgers doesn't seem to have too many options up front, so if it is possible for him to do it then I'm sure he is looking at these options.

"Looking at the frontline, they aren't firing. It was great to see Lambert score against Crystal Palace but it was only his second Premier League start this season."
