Hello ed1 hope u well. what's your opinion on szobsazlia? (spelling! )
Seen him at previous club and thought he be great signing for us, and he started even better than I couldve hoped for, looked best attacking midfielder in league.
Form dipped dramatically as we know, along with injuries, and he was dreadful at end of season (wasn't on his own) . don't think euros went great for him but hungary poor enough side from what I seen. Big season for him, he looked 2 different players during last season, I wonder where his level is actually at?
{Ed001's Note - he will be fine, he just needs time to settle in and get a long run without injuries. Then I think he will end up making himself one of our better players. You have to remember the amount of pressure he is under is immense. A whole nation is sat on his shoulders, as well as being the face of so much at Liverpool as well. He needs time to grow into it.}

Do you see a situation where he might be able to take over from Salah on the right Ed001? Could be a perfect money saving solution to what happens when Mo leaves.
{Ed001's Note - yes, I think he could be the replacement there.}

He played on left wing for red bull when I seen him. I liked him in middle at start of last season, bombing threw centre gave us a great option that we probably haven't had since ox played there after signing.

Szobosazlia? ???best spelling of his I have seen yet!
20 Jul 2024 09:53:04
I wish I shared your confidence, Ed. His drop in form was startling. Hope you're right.
{Ed001's Note - he was injured and never got back to form that's all.}

Dom Szob ? has shown he can cut it at premier league level.
He’s had a tough start to his LFC career - got injured mid season, manager decided he was leaving, team ran out of gas and confidence. Went to the Euros and struggled.
The lad needs time to settle again. New manager, new coaches, new team approach.
I’m not giving up on him, there’s definitely a player in there.
I pegged him as Mo’s replacement too, but if that’s his position for Slot he needs a lot of work.
20 Jul 2024 11:06:46
Never going to replace Mo in my opinion.
20 Jul 2024 11:18:41
Szobo will do from now on!
20 Jul 2024 11:45:25
I think Szob will fit nicely into Slots 4231 formation.
Yes I know Slot has said he doesn’t play 4231 but Oli told us he did and I believe him more.

Spot on, Ron. Szobo was being touted as the "signing of the season" by several accounts in his first 3 months of the season. he was one of our better to best performaers in that span. Then, the injuries came and he never got back to his best. The team playing crap did not help him either.
He just needs to get back to his best, refocus and try to gzin his confidence back. That is all on him now and IMO if he can do all of this, I see no reason why he cannot get back to what he was back then. At least, that is my hope.

Edd001 I think he can be a magnificent box to box midfielder. Has the legs and quality. Think he's going to be an 8 for years to come.
20 Jul 2024 15:22:27
I really don't think we have seen the best of Dominic. I think he found it hard to settle in Merseyside as he said he was going home to an empty home a year on he may of settled and can get on with his private life and have his head on playing for LFC. YNWA.
20 Jul 2024 15:56:12
Just to add, he’s only 21. Even though he looks about 30! Plenty of time.
20 Jul 2024 16:58:46
Stoneage, he's 24 in October.
20 Jul 2024 19:25:55
It’s clear Szobo’s injuries slowed him down, however he couldn’t do the basics which was run, close down and play easy balls. Far too lackadaisical for me and he needs to shape up for the new season as he’s behind Elliot in the pecking order currently.
20 Jul 2024 20:50:34
As a fan I wasn't too keen on his comment that he wasn't too bothered about being injured most of the season because it means he was fresh for the euros. Little too close to the kind of things Michael Owen used to say for me.
If you're playing for Liverpool you don't put your focus on your country and vice versa.

@irish rover, realistically we are not going to replace mo like for like, the team will evolve. I'm looking forward to it.
22 Jul 2024 02:21:40
Szoboszlai is class, one of the best players in the squad.
