Dominik Szoboszlai has addressed Liverpool’s failed Premier League title defence and what must happen next for Arne Slot’s side

Dominik Szoboszlai has warned Arsenal the Premier League hasn’t been won yet but admits it would be “crazy” to think Liverpool can still defend their title. And the midfielder is convinced Arne Slot and his coaching staff can find the solution to helping the champions rediscover their swagger of last season.

 

 

 

Liverpool travel to runaway leaders Arsenal on Thursday evening aiming to put a dent in the Gunners’ title charge and extend their own nine-game unbeaten run that has seen them return to the Champions League qualification places having previously lost six of seven league games.

 

Arsenal are six points clear of nearest challengers Manchester City and Aston Villa, and are odds-on to win the title for the first time in 22 years.

But Szoboszlai said: “It’s a long way (to go). The Premier League is not easy. You don’t win it by January.

 

“So I don’t think we are playing against the champions. They’re playing against the champions. And that’s probably (something) they know as well, we know as well.

 

“Of course they are one of the favourites for this year – unbelievable team, really good players. But we shouldn’t also forget about Man City, about Villa, who are doing very good.

“No, we don’t play against the champions. They play against the champions.”

 

While having not lost in six weeks, Liverpool have attracted criticism for their style of play during that period in which the need to become more difficult to beat has come at the expense of attacking flair, which has contributed to damaging draws against Sunderland, Leeds United and Fulham.

 

“We have so many people in the club to find solutions and I’m pretty sure they will,” said Szoboszlai. “Every player has a couple of things they are thinking that everyone has to keep to themselves, then in the end we will speak to each other as a group and grow as a group. We are Liverpool and right now are champions of England.

Virgil van Dijk vented his anger towards Federico Chiesa following Wolves’ decisive goal at Molineux. Rob Edwards’ outfit pulled off a surprise 2-1 triumph in the Premier League as the Reds squandered an opportunity to climb into fourth position.

Mohamed Salah netted an 83rd-minute leveller in a chaotic conclusion after Rodrigo Gomes had opened the scoring in the Midlands. However, Andre sparked wild celebrations in the stands with a 94th-minute winner.

 

 

Liverpool skipper Van Dijk was left furious following the late setback and yelled in Chiesa’s direction, evidently unimpressed with the Italian’s contribution. Alisson had launched a pass towards the winger, but after the duo failed to connect, Chiesa did not track back in an attempt to retrieve the ball.

 

 

Andre’s strike then deflected beyond the Brazilian and into the net. A series of issues emerged in the post-match analysis.

 

Van Dijk was more measured in his post-match interview, though still frustrated by the nature of the defeat.

“Conceding goals is always frustrating,” he told TNT Sport when asked if there were any frustrations about the manner of the two Wolves goals. “Obviously we’ve come on the back of a couple of clean sheets and I think defensively we have been very solid.

 

“But yeah, listen, it is what it is and we have to move quickly on because we come back here in a couple of days and we want to do well in the FA Cup as well and we have to show a reaction.”

 

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard reckons his former side were sluggish in responding to an error from Alisson. “The Liverpool players from the goalkeeper’s mistake – it’s not the greatest clearance from Alisson – but I just thought they were slow to react in midfield as well,” he commented on TNT Sports.

 

 

“You know, Wolves are jumping on the first ball, picking up the second ball. It’s a poor goal from a Liverpool point of view to concede, and it’s another late one. It’s happened too many times that they’re conceding these late goals.

 

 

“I just think the speed of the reaction from the poor clearance – I’m sure Alisson will want to own up to it – but the reaction’s just too slow.”

 

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, though, laid the blame at a different door. He identified the pass to Alisson as the issue.

 

“It was a mistake from Curtis Jones – he plays a ball into Alisson and Alisson’s never going to get any purchase on it,” Warnock stated on BBC Radio 5 Live.

 

 

“Andre looked heavy in the last five or so minutes but he takes a shot and it takes a wicked deflection to loop over Alisson.”

SALAH FINDS THE NET IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE! His first for 122 days. Good time to get it.
