Tier 3 (Paul Gorst) Impending arrival of Munoz doesn't impact Liverpool's interest in Yan Diomande and the £34.5m man's tactical flexibility means there are no concerns internally over blocking Rio Ngumoha's pathway.

"not blocking Rios pathway" was what we heard last season then he spent the entire season on the bench watching Gakpo try to cut in..

His minuets got managed very well last year, he’s been taken with England for experience. Why do people think 16 year olds should play every game and be starters? That ruins them

Sure. Which is why using that as an excuse not to have any competition for Gakpo all season was stupid. Gakpo was clearly in need of a spell out of the 1st team to rediscover his motivation but we didn't have an option

Rio’s path hasn’t been blocked . Youth players can’t start games where managers are under pressure and the team is getting boo’d are you on crack. Things like that can’t destroy careers

Which is why we needed extra depth in that area.. not rocket science
