Liverpool boss Arne Slot insists Rio Ngumoha is 'not at the level' to play 90 minutes after the Chelsea draw.
Transcript
00:00I said it in the same interview, it makes complete sense
00:03if you take a player off that's playing well, that assisted,
00:06that people don't expect you to take that player off,
00:09which wasn't my intention to do,
00:13but he's a good player,
00:15but I don't think he's at the level yet to play at 60% or 50%
00:19then to make the difference,
00:21but maybe the fans have different opinions,
00:23they think that he would have been able to play at this level,
00:26at 50% or 60%, no matter what the percentage is,
00:31but not being fit enough anymore to sprint and to make your actions.
00:36So, yeah, if you don't know that and you feel like,
00:38why is he taking him off?
00:41Then I understand that reaction.
00:42I knew the moment his number went up, but that would have been the reaction,
00:46but that's not the reason then not to do it
00:47and keep a player in the team that tells me he cannot continue.
00:53And after the game, I think it also makes sense,
00:55because I don't think this club should be happy with a 1-1 result against Chelsea.
01:01We always aim for a win and if we don't win,
01:03then we're disappointed and especially in a season where we haven't won a lot
01:07or not as much as people expect us to do,
01:10then it's just building up frustration and that came out probably after half-time,
01:17but I think the players and myself had the same frustration as the fans.
01:20First half-time.
01:20First half-time is nothing.
