Rio Ngumoha player thread (F)

Made his Liverpool debut at the weekend. The young lad we whipped from under Chelsea's nose...

Some neat dribbling, nice close control and sharp change of directions. Clearly likes to take players on.

Is he left or right footed? Because if he's right, that first cross on his weaker foot was quality.

Good signs for a lad that just turned 16 a few weeks ago.

Get him on the plane to Milan 

Likes to take on an opponent but bar the cross I thought they defended him quite well to be fair.

Reminded me of Lucho.

All the tricks in the World to get away from a Player.

Now we need him to keep running with it further inside the Box and getting some goals to his name.

Looks exciting.

That's true, although like most key threats in a side...they tried to double up as much as possible on him.

I thought the bit of play from around 46 seconds in was quite mad, rarely see that anywhere in top flight football so I wonder if he has the ability to carry that through to the first team.

Kid’s talented alright….doing this to Madrid u19s having only just turned 16 is very promising.

He's special alright. Not just tricks, but an eye for the killer weighted pass. That's an art in itself...
Will definitely be keeping an eye on this young chap...

Should have had at least two assists there but for wasteful finishing.

Was a very good first start for him , very quick feet and played with no fear

Lots of potential that will just need a polish

Looks a real prospect. Great close control, quick feet, just a case of maturing (maybe even a bit more growth physically) to become the finished article.

Becoming a first team regular looks nailed on.

Wouldn't be sure about that. Long way to go yet. By the second half the lad was just running around looking a bit lost. Not to lose sight lad hasn't turned 17 yet. A long way to go in the lads development.

I just hope we can keep him fit as we have had a lot of young talent but nearly all of them have had a lot of injury problems.   This kid looks a very good prospect but hope he gets better luck with injuries especially in this very early stages of his development.

For his age he's impressive on the ball with his dribbling etc but he is yet to score with the u18/19s since he arrived.....it's not for a lack of shooting but pretty quickly (much like Doak was last season), questions will be asked of his end product.

I would look to get him out on loan as early as the summer, league 1 level maybe (or even SPL - perhaps even half a season in both)....and see what kind of numbers he can put up.

He shouldn’t go on loan until 18

He shouldn’t go on loan until 18

What difference does it make whether it's 17 or 18? He'll no doubt be good enough to play league 1 football from next season, you fast to fast track these kids with huge potential and there's no better way to do that than testing themselves.

A simple case of too soon

He has been at the club for 6 months , he continues he develop with us until next summer and then it’s a call if he is on loaned out or into the first team

He has had 60 minutes for senior football - very much a long way to go yet
