Jamie Carragher has urged Arne Slot to make one change after Liverpool’s win over Nottingham Forest. <\/p>\n

On Sunday afternoon, the Reds arrived at the City Ground looking to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League, following their 1-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Forest<\/a>, under new boss Vitor Pereira, were hoping to pull further clear of the danger zone.<\/p>\n

The hosts were on the front foot from the get-go and squandered several big chances in the first half, with Liverpool<\/a> not at the races.<\/p>\n

In the second half, it looked like the match would end 0-0. However, right at the death, Alexis Mac Allister netted to seal a dramatic 1-0 win for Slot’s men<\/a>, having previously had a goal disallowed for handball. <\/p>\n

As a result, the Reds moved level on points with Chelsea and Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Reacting to Liverpool’s win, ex-player Carragher<\/a> has urged Slot<\/a> to use teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha more often.<\/p>\n

The former defender also branded Liverpool’s win at the City Ground as one of the ‘biggest robberies’ in the Premier League<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

He said on Sky Sports<\/a>: “That’s one of the biggest robberies I’ve seen in the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n

“Ngumoha did more in 15 minutes than Salah and Gakpo did before that. He changed the game and needs to be starting games. There’s no-one better in getting last-minute winners in Premier League – and that is Liverpool.”<\/p>\n

Carragher was not the only one singing Ngumoha’s praises, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand wrote<\/a>: “Top drawer the kid Rio for LFC.<\/p>\n

Changed the game for them. A winger that wants to beat his man & deliver with a mix of speed & finesse.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ex-Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge added<\/a>: “Every time I watch Rio Ngumoha, he looks electric. Direct, fearless, always trying to affect the game. He deserves more minutes. Simple as that.”<\/p>\n

Ngumoha has impressed whenever he has been called upon this season and scored a dramatic winner against Newcastle United at the start of the season. <\/p>\n

After the match, Reds boss Slot was asked to comment on Ngumoha’s cameo.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman said: “The first goal that was disallowed was mainly because of him – and a great cross for Hugo and normally you would expect that to be a goal. Especially for Hugo as he’s such a good finisher.<\/p>\n

“A good action of him and one-v-one. It was what this game needed. Either a set piece or a moment like this. That’s why I brought him on. First off the left, where there was not a lot of involvement. Then off the right, where there was much more involvement.”<\/p>\n

Slot added: “He already plays a big part for a 17-year-old. Tell me wherever in the Premier League a player has had so many minutes. That tells you what kind of a talent he is, and how much we appreciate him.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamie Carragher has urged Arne Slot to make one change after Liverpool’s win over Nottingham Forest.
