“What he does with the ball at his feet, that is God-given ability, and his hard work on the training pitch, doing things day in and day out, and being ruthless, is what he said in his interview, and I like that. He wants to be decisive, and I love that about him.” Robbie Fowler echoed that sentiment alongside Sturridge, saying: “It wasn’t a statement performance from Liverpool but it was a statement performance from [Ngumoha].

He was a big, big difference.” The sky is the limit for Rio Ngumoha at Liverpool Some displays really do make you sit up and take notice, and Ngumoha’s against Villarreal was one of those, with the teenager a joy to watch, and the only Liverpool player who was good throughout. His speed of feet was dazzling, but most importantly, he backed it up with end product, laying on assists for both Araujo and Mac Allister either side of half-time, and being hailed by Andoni Iraola after the game: “I think he was coming from a very good game the other day, a very good second half against Brentford.

He can even go down for a penalty, but he decides to continue and takes a great decision.” Ngumoha has the potential to become one of the best attacking players in world football, and it’s now a case of him finding consistency and ensuring he continues to work hard on improving.
