Ngumoha did fade out of the game during the second-half, but he still showed plenty before that to demonstrate why there is such excitement about his future at Anfield.The 18-year-old was not the only youngster to impress for Liverpool, however, with Trey Nyoni arguably putting in an even better display. Andoni Iraola praised Nyoni after the game, and Ngumoha also hailed his fellow teenager, claiming that the 19-year-old still has levels to go up.

Is that the way to treat a club legend? 🤔 Ngumoha expecting big things from Nyoni Nyoni’s top performance will not have come as a surprise to anybody who has been watching him since his breakthrough at Liverpool, with the midfielder long seen as a youngster who could become a first-team regular. You guys haven’t even seen him at his top, top level,” the winger told Sporty TV.“He still has definitely another level to go and he’s only 19.

He does not look like a creative midfielder, and did not set up any chances for Liverpool on Wednesday, but his defensive stats were good. There is a feeling at Liverpool that Nyoni could be a long-term starter, and with his stats beginning to back that up, Ngumoha is confident that he will only continue to go from strength to strength.
