"For 65 minutes, Liverpool were desperate tonight, really poor. They didn't play with the right tempo, the right quality. He's doing more in a short cameo than (Cody) Gakpo in 65 minutes. So he deserves a start. (Slot) has to start the kid on Friday night."
"Wolves were very comfortable, they contained Liverpool really well. The opening goal for Wolves particularly frustrated the former Rangers and Aston Villa boss, who cited a lack of basic defensive awareness from Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk."
Liverpool suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat to Wolves, prompting strong criticism from legend Steven Gerrard. He condemned the team's performance as "desperate" and "very poor," highlighting their lack of attacking spark and tempo. Gerrard praised 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha's brief cameo, noting he outperformed Cody Gakpo during his limited time on the pitch. The former Rangers and Aston Villa manager called for manager Arne Slot to start Ngumoha in the upcoming FA Cup rematch. Beyond attacking deficiencies, Gerrard criticized defensive lapses, particularly errors from Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk on Wolves' opening goal, and noted an Alisson Becker mistake that led to the second goal.
