Surely he can’t be serious?

He absolutely changed the game, and he needs more of an opportunity; he does, he needs to start starting games.”Then, following the Wolves game, Gerrard also questioned Gakpo while demanding Ngumoha play more.He said: “For 65 minutes [before Rio was brought on], Liverpool were desperate tonight.

Didn’t create enough, they didn’t play at the right speed or tempo, they didn’t have enough quality.“He [Slot] has to start Ngumoha now, he has to start him because he’s coming on and he’s doing more in a short cameo, in a short space of time than Gakpo’s doing in 65-70 minutes. He deserves a start now.
