Conte and the Chelsea family do not worry about what Liverpool do because Chelsea will win the league by winning matches themselves, not by praying that other teams will do worse than them.
However (no offense for Liverpool fans here) I feel Origi is not the right man to play upfront. He drifts a lot to the sides and deep, which mean Firmino ended up going forward. Sturridge for the last goal was at the right place at the right time, but would Origi have done the same?
But, at Dortmund, with players like Lewandowski, you wouldn't see him run as deep and shift to one side as Origi did in the last two games. Same with Aubameyang, even though he is fast. Also, at times his passing was a bit off. Same with dribbling.
I will say one thing though. I haven't actually seen Origi play much, due to him not being picked when I do watch Liverpool.
Amazing performance from Liverpool. Hope we can win the league

But, if it makes you happy, I hear those voodoo dolls are making a come back. But you probably already have a bunch.

Firmino,Lallana and Mane power with out Coutinho YNWA.
However, to win the league they will have to sort out their defence. This january transfer window will be the time to do it, and who they buy now could be crucial to their title hopes.

To me, I look at Lovren and see him as the weak link. That's probably where they need replacing.
But you guys have man City to come...So..Be careful with your hopes just yet bud. Man City could be the ones Chelsea need to worry for instead.
