Andy Robertson, Joe Gomez and Caoimhin Kelleher have appeared in front of the cameras for a video on Liverpool’s official Twitter account.

As part of Liverpool’s association with Expedia, the trio sat down to discuss a range of different travel-related questions.

One such question asked the three which teammate of theirs is most likely to make everyone late when travelling – there was only one answer.

What did the Liverpool trio say?

Without a moment of thought, Robertson exclaims: “There’s only one man.”

Kelleher then adds: “Yeah I think we all know who it is.”

Divock Origi. Joe Gomez even describes it as a “universal answer” which says it all.

Robertson continued: “I think the problem with Div is, he’s just that chilled. I wish I could have a bit of Divock in that sense.”

Clearly, the £60,000-a-week striker is not known for his punctuality.

It comes after Roberto Firmino and Alisson Becker also described the 26-year-old as being “too lazy” back in 2020.

Is Divock Origi the only one at Liverpool?

Origi isn’t the only one targeted by Robertson, Kelleher and Gomez.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also mentioned as someone who has the potential to make Jürgen Klopp’s squad late for their travels.

Robertson said: “Ox? Right up there.”

Gomez agreed, saying: “Yeah, very high.”

Clearly, Origi and Oxlade-Chamberlain need to get themselves a bit more organised.

Having said that, the pair can’t be that bad, or they wouldn’t still be at Liverpool.

As we saw with Mamadou Sakho, Klopp doesn’t mess around if his players aren’t behaving themselves.

ESPN reveal that Klopp sent the Frenchman home from Liverpool’s tour of the United States after he nearly missed the outbound flight.

Sakho also skipped a rehabilitation session and was late to a team meal, before Klopp eventually sold him to Crystal Palace.

Clearly, Origi and Oxlade-Chamberlain haven’t been that badly behaved, or they wouldn’t still be at Anfield!
