I don't think you have to like it to understand it. I wouldn't want to come off in a big game with the outcome still to be determined either. In fact I'd be pretty pissed off. He clapped the Kop as he left, I don't see that much in it to be honest and I'm usually one to ride players pretty hard for poor behavior.
Probably isn't that much in it but it just pisses me off when I see footballers sulk, especially ones that play for Liverpool.
Yeah anybody with a winners mentality would be annoyed at getting subbed. That's fine. I have no problem with that. But bottle it up and don't express it in the view of millions and give the media something to write about.
If he has the bollocks then go up to Jürgen behind closed doors and ask why he was subbed. I'm sure Jürgen would have the bollocks to say back because you barely touched the ball for 70mins so I wanted to see what Origi could offer instead.
Whether Danny was disappointed, angry or whatever doesn't matter. Respect the manager, respect your colleague and get on with it. He is a
professional footballer. So act professional. Jog off the pitch an give Origi a pat on the back and say go on son go and win it for us. That's what I'd expect from a senior player especially considering a young inexperienced player was taking his place. Not F***ing shaking his head and looking as if Jürgen has shot his mum.
I personally felt we needed pace and strength upfront at that point too, so the decision for me was the right one. And im also glad sturridge had a bit of a rest and hopefully he will be raring to go on Thursday.
