Liverpool’s Szoboszlai Vows Team’s Poor Form Will Fuel Improvement
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai believes that the team’s current struggles will ultimately lead to improvement. The 25-year-old noted that, despite being only two points away from the top four, the focus must remain on addressing their performance issues on the pitch.
Recent Performance Overview
The team recently played a lackluster 1-1 draw against Sunderland at Anfield. This result came after a victory over West Ham, indicating inconsistency in form. Szoboszlai pointed out that while the team has halted a run of nine defeats in twelve matches, significant challenges remain.
Finding Solutions
Szoboszlai mentioned his morning mindset, saying, “When you wake up in the morning, your head is like, let’s find a solution to win.” He emphasized the necessity of adapting to opponents’ strategies, which can include long balls and set pieces. “Everything has to change a little bit and then it’s going to be alright,” he added.
Current Standing and Expectations
- Liverpool sits 11 points behind league leaders Arsenal.
- They are only two points adrift from the fourth position.
- Miscalculations at Anfield have cost them eight points this season.
Szoboszlai expressed disappointment over the team’s home draw performance, stating, “As a Liverpool player, we shouldn’t be accepting to be in this situation.” He cited the contrast with their successful title-winning campaign, where they were more dominant at home.
Looking Ahead
The midfielder urged his teammates to concentrate on their own performance rather than focusing solely on the top four race. “Right now I think we should focus on us, and not on the top four,” he noted. He acknowledged the unpredictability of the Premier League but underscored the urgency of securing victories.
As Liverpool prepares for their match against Leeds, who recently triumphed over Chelsea, Szoboszlai’s message is clear. The team must rectify current issues to regain competitiveness and pursue their goals effectively.
