Dominik Szoboszlai - Welcome to Liverpool

[VladimirIlyich]

8 goals in 50 games ( suspect that includes sub appearances and games where he has been subbed?) is not a bad return for a midfielder in our set up. I don't think he's anywhere near as bad as people are saying here.

I like him, but people are correct in their identification of his weaknesses. He can run, and he has a good shot and cross on him.
But short passing and creative passing are not his forte.

It does, 5 assists on top of that. 
 

35 starts and 15 as a sub.

Last season:

 

Odegaard - GC every 185 minutes

Dommer - GC every 245 minutes

 

He is two years younger and plays in a role that asks more defensively.

[bossy]

He had a pretty good second half but I’m still of the opinion that he flatters to deceive. Hoping he proves me very wrong. 

[Binomial]

Another mixed game from Szobo, game of two halves essentially. Seems to be saving his main output (on the ball at least) for second halves.

 

He's an unorthodox attacking/wide attacking player.....he's not your typical silky, smooth creative spark in the mould of Odegaard/Maddison/Eze etc and relies more on working in open spaces.

As Arne had pointed out, it's more the 3 goals, 4 assists in 37 league games which needs to be worked on. Macca did better playing deeper. A player of his ability, a so called creative player, needs to be at least doubling that tally.

Yeah he is shite in tight spaces or when closely marked. Bit of an issue for number ten, that.

 

I reckon he'd make an amazing wingback in a 3-4-3.

[Mook]

He looks decent when there is plenty of space to run about in & shite when there isn't, which makes up about 80% of our games.

 

Not ideal.

[Pidge]

When you're operating on the edge of the area in the main and teams are sat back you will probably end up looking less effective. I think the width of the forward line and ability to turn the defence are bigger issues, we seem to always want to keep the play in front of defences.

[No2]

He's a better athlete than Gini. He has a better shot than every midfielder we've had since Gerrard. All he's missing is the confidence to go and dominate games, he's well capable of it.

Looked that player when he first arrived.

[Bobby Hundreds]

This guys form has been largely horrible for about 8 months. His decision making and technical ability with the ball is wildly inconsistent. He's about 90 percent shit and 10 percent what we really need. He'd be starting from the bench for me until he can work his shit out.

[Jairzinho]

His best attribute at the moment is "running around".

I’d say it’s his hair.

Overrated, for me. Just as Can's was.

 

He needs to shave his head and start kicking people if he isn't going to score any goals.

Can had beautiful hair. McDermott-esque in both bounce and volume. You nonce, code, Tony’s Ma denier, etc

Nah, it was a greasy lego head.

 

This, for reference, is magnificent hair -

The best player in the world...... without the ball.

That beard looks dyed.

 

Lost all respect for him now.

I’m like a young Leo Sayer, I’ll have you know. 
 

Baby!

[3 Stacks]

His inclusion in the first 11 is basically tactical, not very merit-based. He makes a lot of sprints and no one else can do that, but technically it's almost disastrous.
