Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesRio NgumohaThomas Tuchel and England are desperate to end the country's long wait for silverware, but throwing Liverpool talent Rio Ngumoha in at the deep end is not the answerThere's a lot of pressure on Rio Ngumoha to become a superstar(Image: Getty Images)In 1996, English comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner — accompanied by Liverpool rock band the Lightning Seeds — released their iconic 'Three Lions' song.That tune is best known for introducing the phrase "football's coming home," which England fans optimistically sing at every major tournament. Yet there's another lyric that's hard to ignore — "30 years of hurt" — referencing the country's last tournament triumph at the 1966 World Cup.

It's easy to see why Tuchel is keen on the 17-year-old.Ngumoha was called up to England's pre-World Cup training camp and even made his senior international debut in a friendly against New Zealand. But he should give the youngster time to find his feet at Liverpool before making him an England regular.Ngumoha made his England debut last month(Image: Getty Images)Let's not forget that Ngumoha is yet to break into Liverpool's starting XI.

He gave the winger time to develop rather than asking too much of him."Let’s be clear, he is a special player that will have more playing time and already has more playing time recently," Slot told a reporter in February when asked about Ngumoha's lack of minutes."If everyone thinks he is so good, then he should be in something to talk about again. If he is already good enough to play for us, then he should definitely be, in your opinion."It's clear Liverpool's strategy is to slowly but surely introduce Ngumoha into the starting XI without rushing his development.
