John Aldridge has expressed his concern for Dominik Szoboszlai, claiming that the Liverpool midfielder’s form has dipped dramatically in recent weeks.
Dominik Szoboszlai appeared to be an unbelievable signing for the Reds. Liverpool were the one side prepared to trigger Szoboszlai’s release clause in the summer despite there being plenty of interest.
And that decision initially appeared to be a masterstroke. Szoboszlai was one of the best players in the Premier League in the opening weeks of the campaign.
However, the 23-year-old has found the going much tougher lately.

And while discussing Nunez in the Liverpool Echo, John Aldridge noted that he is worried about Szoboszlai’s recent performances.
“I have previously said I don’t think the way we play is necessarily suited to [Nunez’s] style, but I do hope he has a long-term future at the club. It’s not only Nunez who doesn’t look right, Dominik Szoboszlai is having a torrid time at present. He started the season in remarkable style but his form has dipped badly of late,” he wrote.
Reds fans still waiting to see if side will kick on this season
It does feel as though Liverpool’s season could go either way. Heading into the weekend, Jurgen Klopp’s men were top of the table. And yet, they had been nowhere near the most impressive side in the league.
That could either mean that they do fall back at some stage, or that they could be absolutely devastating when everything clicks.
Mohamed Salah has been sensational this season. Meanwhile, the likes of Szoboszlai and Nunez have hugely bright futures ahead of them.
But their recent form does act as a reminder that some of the younger players are not the finished articles just yet.
