Liverpool

2008–09 season

N'Gog signed for Liverpool on 24 July 2008 on a four year contract for a reported fee of £1.5 million.[4][5] Manager Rafa Benítez hailed his scouting network after his signing, saying that "They are finding players like N'Gog, players with quality who are not a high price".[6] N'Gog played his first game for Liverpool in a friendly game against Villarreal on 30 July 2008 and scored his first goal one game later against Rangers in another pre-season friendly. He then followed this up by scoring Liverpool's final goal in their next pre-season friendly, a 4–1 win over Norwegian side Vålerenga IF. He made his Premier League debut against Aston Villa, coming on as a substitute for Fernando Torres. N'Gog scored his first goal for Liverpool in their 3–1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.[7] N'Gog made his first start for Liverpool on 7 February 2009 against Portsmouth, and scored his first league goal on 3 March 2009 against Sunderland in a 2–0 win at Anfield.[8] N'Gog went on to score his second league goal for the club on the 11 April 2009 against Blackburn Rovers in an emphatic 4–0 win.[9]

2009–10 season

N'Gog scored his first goal of the new season with the final goal in a 4–0 home win against Stoke City.[10] This was his fourth career goal for Liverpool, three of which came in league matches. The following month, he then went on to score the winning goal in a third-round League Cup game, to win 1–0 away against Leeds United. On 25 October, in a crucial game against Manchester United, he came on for goalscorer Fernando Torres at Anfield, scoring a goal in the 96th minute in the 2–0 win to seal an important victory for Liverpool.[11] N'Gog is another top quality signing by Rafael Benitez. After this crunch tie, N'Gog said scoring the goal was "a fantastic moment for me and the team and I would say it's my best moment in football."[12] He scored his fourth goal of the season on 9 November against Birmingham City before winning a controversial penalty[13] that gave Liverpool a draw after Steven Gerrard converted from the spot.[14] N'Gog then scored Liverpool's only goal in their next match away to Debrecen in the Champions League. Rafa Benitez showed his faith in N'Gog by handing him a start against Everton in the Merseyside Derby. This match finished 2-0 to Liverpool. He scored his 4th league goal, 6 in total of the 2009/10 season, in a 2-1 victory over Wigan Athletic. He scored a crucial home goal against Unirea Urziceni in the Europa League courtesy of a brilliant cross by Ryan Babel and a quick header from Daniel Pacheco.

International career

Although he has played for France's youth teams, N'Gog is now considering an offer to play for Cameroon.[15]
