144 Graeme Souness has said that Liverpool’s midfield didn’t turn up against Manchester United and believes Dominik Szoboszlai was as guilty as anyone.
The Hungarian midfielder has been in superb form since signing in the summer but like everyone else in Red yesterday, looked a bit off the boil.
Szoboszlai has won plenty of praise for his performances up to now. The £60m man has made a difference to Liverpool and he’s rightly been lauded.
However, former Liverpool great Souness believes Szoboszlai was poor against United, as he suggested the Reds’ midfielders weren’t at it.
Souness says Dominik Szoboszlai was so poor v Manchester United
Speaking about the game on TalkSPORT, Souness was critical of the Hungarian and the rest of the Liverpool midfield players.
“I don’t think it tells us much other than the attacking players for Liverpool weren’t on it. The amount of overhit passes, especially in the first half. Szoboszlai had his worst game in a Liverpool shirt. The midfield just didn’t have the key to the door to create enough big chances,” Souness said.
Szoboszlai will be disappointed
Liverpool probably did enough to win the game really but Souness is right, they didn’t create too many clear openings.
Szoboszlai was among a cluster of players really who just looked a bit off it. But he’s been so good so far that any drop off is always going to be noticeable.
The Hungarian will come back flying at some point and there’ll be other games for him to really exert his influence on things.
Right now, Liverpool just need to draw a line under this one and move on. A 0-0 draw with your biggest rivals is not the end of the world.
£120k-a-week Szoboszlai will have his day again and more than likely, he’ll end up being key to any success this season.
