“It's the last thing we want. Black and white now, we need Champions League football, that’s the objective.”Gomez, who came on for the closing stages on Saturday, said he could see why supporters did not want Ngumoha to go off, but also why Slot had to remove the 17-year-old winger.

He added: “To give a perspective, from the bench, Rio he's young and he played in the high-intense game. But it was the later stages of the game and he’s tired.

But I get it: he's flying, he looks good for us, he’s a big threat and if he comes off it’s like ‘Oh’ and the fans are entitled to that opinion.” (Getty)Gomez feels Liverpool are in a Catch-22 situation with their style of play when the crowd want to see more urgency and intensity but Slot’s more controlled tactics helped them win the title.He explained: “I think we have to remember that tactically we made a step last year which was very effective and one of the strengths of our coaching staff is to adapt every game and try and expose and overload in certain areas and that that is a different style to the faster pace.“We get that sometimes it's not as fluid or as high intensity on the ball as always. It does get frustrating when it gets fragmented but there’s also been times when it’s controlled the game, not as much this year.
