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 if you take a player off that's playing well,
00:04that assisted, that people don't expect you to take that player off, which wasn't my intention to do.
00:14But he's a good player, but I don't think he's at the level yet to play at 60 or 50
00:18per cent
00:19to then make the difference.
00:21But maybe the fans have a different opinion, they think that he would have been able to play at this
00:26level,
00:26at 50 per cent, 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, why is he taking him off?
00:41Then I understand that reaction. I 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 and keep a player in the team that tells me
00:51he cannot continue.
00:51So, and after the game, I think it also makes sense because I don't think this club should be happy
00:57with a 1-1 result against Chelsea.
01:00We always aim for a win and if we don't win, then we're disappointed.
01:05And especially in a season where we haven't won a lot or not as much as people expect us to
01:09do,
01:10then it's just building up frustration.
01:13And that came out probably after half-time, but I think the players and myself had the same frustration as
01:19the fans.
01:20.
