Rio Ngumoha says he is becoming more comfortable on Liverpool's right wing and wants to make the most of every opportunity in the team.
Speaking to the club's website after the win at Brentford, the teenager discussed positional development and the challenge of contributing from the bench.
Progress on the right
Ngumoha entered in the 52nd minute with Liverpool trailing 1-0 against ten men. Goals from Victor Munoz and Alexander Isak subsequently completed the turnaround.
He said the key to his introduction was arriving with a positive mindset and a determination to influence a difficult away match.
The appearance was his eighth of the season. He again played on the right, a role in which he feels he has improved since the Newcastle game.
Ngumoha also credited time with England's youth setup for helping his understanding. He now enjoys playing on either flank and sees that flexibility as another part of his development.
Making different opportunities count
Earlier in the week, Ngumoha had started the Champions League win at LASK alongside fellow youngsters Trey Nyoni and Lewis Koumas.
All three began the Brentford match as substitutes before eventually taking the field.
Ngumoha pointed to the demanding schedule as a source of different opportunities, whether through starts or appearances during a game. His focus is on responding when head coach Andoni Iraola calls on him.
The interview does not establish a guaranteed starting position. It describes a young player building positional versatility while trying to turn each selection into a useful contribution for the team.
