Former Liverpool super-sub David Fairclough has praised Divock Origi for his resilience last season.
The Belgian made the most of his short playing time last season with crucial goals in the Premier League and Champions League.
"Credit to Origi, he was virtually in the wilderness," said Fairclough. "He worked his way back into the squad and certainly the goal against Everton gave him a massive boost.
"I was in that position myself some years ago when I thought my Liverpool career was over, but then I came back in and scored, and that one goal can be an amazing lift. I'd been out for over a year. I'd been out on loan and I then scored against Norwich in a League Cup tie (after coming on as sub for Mark Lawrenson) and it got me back into the group.
"I had come back from Canada and it looked like I was finished at Liverpool, but I came on against Norwich and scored and that got me back into the squad. That shows that you can do it and that things can change."
