TA: 16-year-old Ngumoha performed well and may stay in Liverpool s first-team team in the new season

Hupu August 1st News TheAthleticUK Liverpool team reporter team wrote an op-ed article to analyze the future of 16-year-old Ngumoha.

Last year, when Ngumoha chose to leave Chelsea to join Liverpool, Chelsea's youth training division + management was very angry at the loss of one of England's most dazzling young talents.

Since he joined Liverpool, he has shown why West London fans are so disappointed, and he has impressed Liverpool's first team and youth coaching staff in training and competitions of all ages.

He started unexpectedly in the third round of the FA Cup against Ackerlington in January, which attracted the attention of Liverpool fans in the first team and paid off for his rapid progress.

His 72-minute performance at Anfield that day was full of agile steps and passion. The English League Two team quickly double-teamed him, and the only thing he lacked was the finishing ability - which was normal for a 16-year-old debut.

Nevertheless, improving his finishing ability became his focus as he returned to the U21 echelon and competed in the rest of the season. If he is in his current form, it is that he has contributed two goals and one assist in four games so far in the preseason.

Slott has been able to train with most of the first team players since the preseason. This means there are fewer young players on this tour's roster than usual, so Ngumoha and another young player, Nioni, were taken to the game, which is a testament to the impression they made before.

The youth team continued to impress the first team coaching staff with their attitude and talent during the start of the season and during the tournament, and they took the opportunity in the game.

People think they may become long-term regular members of the first team, which will allow other young players such as Taylor Morton and Ben Dock to leave the team on transfer/loan, and Liverpool don't have to worry about the depth of the team in these positions.

Ngumoha may play a more important role this season, which is even more than anyone’s reasonable expectations a month ago. The team still needs to be managed with caution, and fans’ expectations of him should remain realistic.

But the problem is, Ngumoha is showing why he is one of the hottest new stars in European football, and he cannot be ignored.
