Dominik Szoboszlai - Welcome to Liverpool

[Carvalho Diablo]

Fantastic tonight.

Good performance tonight. Was all over the pitch, pressing, winning the ball, passing, taking people on, tracking back 70 yards to stop counter attacks. Too bad he didnt score his chance in the first half.

 

 

[Shitty Arse]

Much better tonight. Hope he keeps this up.

I dont really get the criticism he’s getting, yes he needs to score more goals in the PL, but he will, he gets the chances but he’s been a bit unlucky more than anything. 
 

He’s only got 3 goals in 40 PL matches so far.

 

 

 

But overall for us his record is not bad for a central midfielder as he’s got 8 goals in 54 matches so far.

 

 

His record for Hungary is excellent for a midfielder though as he’s got 14 goals in 49 games, thats a goal every 3,5 game.

 

 

If we compare it with Steven Gerrard as an example from his Liverpool career, he scored a goal every 3,82 match.

 

 

Szoboszlai has made a good start to his career so far, but we are allowed to want and to expect more.

 

Personally I think he will score around 7-9 goals in all competitions for is this season. 
 

We are easily a better team with him in the team,  than we are without him.

It's not always about goals and before we can even talk about him getting more goals, he needs to be better at the simple basics.....such as not fucking up a 5 yard pass. How many of his goals haven't been from penalties or free kicks which he doesn't get to take for club? 

 

The criticism is merited - he came in for big money and a lot of our attacks break down at his feet because time and time again he fails to see the bigger picture which is one of the essentials to being able to play in the 10, he passes (or takes an extra 3402 touches) when the shot is on and he shoots when the pass is on. 

 

He's not some 20 year old in his first season, been here long enough now to get to grips to how we want to play and if he still can't fit in then he'll either have to see more bench time or moved on because we sure as hell can't be sitting around this time next season talking about how his biggest contribution is still the distance he covers.

No he's a 23yr old, 10 games into a new managers reign who is probably carrying out the off the ball instructions better than anyone, so yeah it's not just about the goals. Of course that area needs to be improved but he's done that at Red Bull and for Hungary quite well so I'd be hopeful.
