I'd say he is a couple of years of physical development away from being a top striker. But I imagine when Origi is back next season we will play with 3 forwards Origi, Sterling and Sturridge all interchanging positions. It will be a thing of beauty.
From a physical development standpoint, he's not much different from Owen, altho owens holdup play was good for a man his size.
Even if he's not an accomplished finisher yet. I feel like his movement, pace and trickery will scare defenses and keep them preoccupied opening it up for other players.
Also remember the killer passes Stevie used to thread through and over the top for Owen? OH MAN
But seriously, its just a thought. Wondered if anyone else thought the same.
I think that finish against City got me thinking. He made that goal out of nothing really.
