'Dangerous' Liverpool ace proves Arne Slot wrong Liverpool put in another disastrous performance in their Premier League clash against Tottenham on Sunday. The game ended 1-1 with both sides sharing the spoils despite Igor Tudor's men being one of the worst-performing teams in the top flight at the moment. Most fans thought that Sunday's game against Spurs would just be a confidence booster for Arne Slot 's men ahead of their Champions League tie against Galatasaray but, that wasn't the case at all.

However, there was one Liverpool player who's performance stood out among the rest of his teammates and, by doing this, he actually proved his manager wrong. Rio Ngumoha was the star of the show for Liverpool During Sunday's game, Slot decided to give Rio Ngumoha yet another start . The winger offers something completely different to Cody Gakpo and, with how poor the Dutchman has been this season, it's hardly surprising to see Ngumoha being used.

However, even though it's blindingly obvious to fans how talented Ngumoha is, it's taken almost two thirds of the season for Slot to give him his chance. In fact, Slot even questioned that, if Ngumoha was as good as fans thought he was then why wasn't he playing at a higher level for England. "Letโ€™s be clear, heโ€™s a special player that will have more playing time," he said in quotes relayed by The Mail .

"But for a player playing for the Under-19 team of England, if everyone thinks he is so good, then he should be in a higher international team. โ€ Granted, the winger is still fairly young to be a regular starter for Liverpool but, if his performance against Spurs proved anything its that he can hold his own, even though the club are under severe pressure. How Rio Ngumoha proved Arne Slot wrong against Tottenham Slot may have taken Ngumoha off in the 64th minute on Sunday but it's clear that the attacker left his mark.
