Arne Slot hasn't got much right this season.
That said, his management of Rio Ngumoha has actually impressed me.
The teenager is a phenomenal talent, but he's not long 17 and you have to be careful in terms of his development. In total, he's played 23 matches, the majority off the bench, but he got his chance from the outset against Fulham on Saturday.
And boy did he take it. The wonderkid scored a beautiful goal and was involved in the build-up to Mohamed Salah's effort that finished the game. He rightly won the man of the match award.
As one superstar winger leaves the club this summer, are we witnessing the start of another's journey? Maybe.
Ngumoha has the fastest feet of any player I've ever seen. He's precocious and brave on the ball and seems to make good decisions in the box - which is a huge thing.
Now, it'll be interesting to see if Slot uses him from the beginning against Paris St-Germain on Tuesday.
My bet is that he'll start on the bench, with Slot putting Florian Wirtz on the left and Hugo Ekitike up top.
