Dominik Szoboszlai proving Arne Slot right over Liverpool change as surprise reaction speaks volumes

The sight of Dominik Szoboszlai seizing up during the closing stages at Tottenham Hotspur spoke volumes


"I can't remember the last time I got cramp, but it was bad!" laughed Szoboszlai after the game.

“I said to Ali (Alisson Becker) at the end of the game that I'd rather play against teams like this than those who sit back as there was so much space behind them, especially when we have players like we have who can get in behind.”


"We know the timing well, so we're going to have so many chances. We got the counter-attacks right as well."



Small wonder Szoboszlai revelled in the surrounds, scoring one well-taken goal, having a key part in several others and constantly breaking the Tottenham lines


But while few opponents will be quite as accommodating as the Londoners this season, the Hungarian's performance - arguably his best in a Liverpool shirt - continued an encouraging trend during his Anfield career.


Szoboszlai keeps proving himself a player for the difficult occasion.


Szoboszlai ran himself into the ground to ensure Liverpool earned a 2-2 draw that could easily have been transformed into a remarkable win.


The 24-year-old's other stellar performances this term came in wins at Manchester United and at home to Manchester City, providing a goal for Mohamed Salah in the former.


All four of his assists this season have been for the Egyptian, who returned the compliment against Tottenham

"I wish every game I could give Mo an assist and he can give me one also,"


"We understand each other very well and I have to know Mo is always screaming my name, even when he’s not free he is screaming my name.


"You can see every game he does his job, scores and assists. He helps us every time with everything, not only on the pitch but outside the pitch also.”


With Harvey Elliott - so impressive during pre-season in the number 10 role - now back available, Szoboszlai knows he has a further challenge for his jersey


Szoboszlai's form suggest both he and the team are benefiting from the increased competition for places.
