Dominik Szoboszlai has sent a clear message to his doubters after helping Liverpool secure a hard-fought victory against Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup. The Hungarian midfielder, who has faced scrutiny for his recent performances, insists he is happy to play anywhere on the pitch to help Andoni Iraola’s side succeed.
Florian Wirtz has been slightly unlucky at times during his spell at Liverpool, but Danny Murphy has told GOAL that there is “no excuse” for the German playmaker to endure a second season flop at Anfield. The talented 23-year-old remains short on end product, leading to a “question marks” warning being delivered when it comes to his future.
Jurgen Klopp has jumped to the defence of Liverpool playmaker Florian Wirtz, hitting back at the "experts" who have criticised the 23-year-old's recent performances. The Germany head coach insists that the focus should remain on Wirtz’s contribution to the team rather than individual statistics alone.
Alexander Isak is yet to truly convince following his record-breaking £125 million ($167m) transfer to Liverpool, but Michael Owen has explained to GOAL why the Swedish striker is not entirely to blame for those struggles. Just four goals were recorded across his debut campaign at Anfield, as fitness issues stunted his progress, but greater assistance is required from those around him.
Bradley Barcola is waiting on his first goal as a Liverpool player, but Danny Murphy has told GOAL that the French winger would face the same pressure to get up and running if he moved for “£100 million, £10m or £100,000”. The Champions League winner arrived at Anfield in a £123m ($165m) deal with Paris Saint-Germain, with the 24-year-old considered to have been a long-standing transfer target.
