We're going to do a positive end to the last final word show of the season.

It's over.

It's over. Dorn, there is your positivity. No, what I'm going to do, right, the way I want to frame this, if you don't mind, gentlemen, I'm a very positive person. Hope springs eternal in my life. Certainly I like to think of myself like that anyway. Glass half full, optimistic, all the rest of it. that's been tested at times this season, that's for certain.

But I'm in the mood to feel good, and I want to feel good heading into the summer and indeed

what follows.

The manager situation will be resolved one way or another.

We haven't even spoke about him, really, at this point, and that's fine.

I want to keep it that way, really. Because I think yesterday we saw more signs of why we're going to, we haven't even spoke about him really at this point and that's fine. I want to keep it that way really. Because I think yesterday we saw more signs of why we need to continue and just a back re-hung-go-morrow in particular. The buzz, we were all in Amfield yesterday, the buzz around downfield. Every single time he gets the ball, he is just so electric. He very nearly scores with what I think was well become his trademark goal, actually, yesterday. Cuts inside, whips it, very, very unlucky this time around. Just been called up to that pre-World Cup squad over in Florida, which thinks a great experience for him. I think ultimately, Adam, I'll come to you first on it, we'll look back on this entire campaign as being wholly forgettable and what we can just write off as a bad job and really never speak about it. However,

one major positive that we will always probably remember from it is the emergence stroke

almost breakout of Rio Ungamoa. Is that fair? Yeah, definitely and you'd expect that

you know, as each season goes on, he's going to be more and more isn't he you know i think we've got some really exciting glimpses during preseason and i think maybe maybe some people would have hoped that we may be seen a little bit more of him but definitely towards the end of the season and i know we've had the injuries and stuff but it does feel a little bit more like there's there's serious trust in him now and he and he kind of understands what, I mean, there's always going to be kind of a rawness to any player of that age. But he kind of really seems to understand kind of what his role entails. And just like you say, when he gets the ball, it just kind of wakes something up entirely you, doesn't it? You know, we know how good he can be, and that's why we want to see more of him ultimately, and you can understand the reasons maybe why we haven't so much. But, yeah, I think next season wouldn't be wholly surprised if he's involved in the first game, and that's a good place to be for him as much as anything I remember the preseason you were raving over

him because he had such a good preseason and I think we were all because he scored that goal at

Newcastle really early on in the season we all thought you know we was really going to have a big

part to play but it was probably right that he

didn't given how old he is my only concern about him is the expectation is so phenomenal now

the crowd chanting his name Rio Rio all the time I just think that he's 17 you know give

the kid a chance you know I just worry about that but he's very talented yeah I think he's 17 you know give the kid a chance you know I'm just worry about that but he's very

talented yeah I think he's very he's very he doesn't I mean yesterday I thought you know they

played him very well but he doesn't give up you know this he doesn't his head doesn't drop

he just keeps on going and trying other things he is very very impressive really is and he started, I think actually in recent weeks and this has come with, obviously, age and just the general development and probably training with the first team lands. He started using his body really well, I've noticed too, which is something I've not seen before in this game. I go back to watching him with under 18s, his first appearance in appearance in Liverpool shirt full stop and the skill was clear for all to see the talent and the natural ability is

just an eight in him but there was a time where even in that at that level if somebody like

give it to him physically he wouldn't like struggle but he'd bounce off and he wouldn't he'd
