"Watching him today, there were times when he was making the runs and not getting the pass. I'm not saying he was frustrated, but you could tell that he was wanting the pass and didn't have that. Exciting player, I like the hunger. The only warning I would give is don't get too frustrated with being frustrated, because that can be detrimental."
"As a young talent who could get a lot better with more game time, more exposure, with quality players around him like we've seen this season, don't get frustrated by it and just understand that you'll get better in time and in time you'll be looking back at this."
Hugo Ekitike has voiced frustration over his goal-scoring record at Liverpool, netting 16 times in 37 appearances since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt. Despite this solid return, the French striker believes he should have scored more. Following his goal against West Ham United, Ekitike's admission prompted reaction from former Liverpool goalkeeper David James. James acknowledged Ekitike's hunger and electric playing style but cautioned against becoming overly frustrated with missed chances. James emphasized that excessive frustration could be detrimental to the young talent's development and advised Ekitike to appreciate his current form while understanding that improvement will come with continued game time and exposure to quality teammates.
