"For 65 minutes Liverpool were desperate tonight, really poor, didn't create enough, didn't play at the right speed or the right tempo, didn't have enough quality. [Slot] has to start Ngumoha. He has to start him because he's coming on, and he's doing more in a short cameo in a short space of time than Gakpo's doing in 65, 70 minutes."
"Ngumoha created more chances (two) and completed more dribbles (two) than both Salah and Gakpo combined, leaving Gerrard dumbfounded as to why he was not starting."
"Liverpool have now lost five Premier League games thanks to 90th minute goals this season, the most ever by a team in a single campaign."
Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to Wolves, with Andre scoring the winner in stoppage time. Rio Ngumoha entered as a substitute in the 65th minute and impressed significantly, creating two chances and completing two dribbles—more than Salah and Gakpo combined. Steven Gerrard criticized Liverpool's first-half performance, describing it as desperate and lacking quality. He argued that Ngumoha deserves a starting position, particularly for the upcoming FA Cup match on Friday. Liverpool's loss represents a missed opportunity to break into the top four and level points with Manchester United and Aston Villa. The defeat adds to Liverpool's concerning trend of losing five Premier League games via 90th-minute goals this season.
