Now Arne Slot has addressed calls for Ngumoha to play more, with the Dutchman explaining that Ngumoha can expect more minutes if he continues to develop on this trajectory and stays fit: “Yeah, another great example how you can manipulate data, not talking about cup and CL games, Rio has only played 89 mins PL, to be more realistic – or to tell the truth! – then you see his playing time has improved massively over the last few weeks and that is because he has developed,” Slot said in his pre-West Ham conference. “People are talking about him because he is doing really well, we like that.

It’s all due to the fact he does well when he comes in.” “The highlight v Forest was his 1v1 action and how important that is in football but he had a few other moments he did as well which we talk about. If he stays fit more minutes will come in the future.” Want to get the latest Liverpool news direct to your phone?
