Liverpool followers all say the identical factor after Arne Slot first defeat as supervisor

Liverpool fans have blasted Dominik Szoboszlai after a poor performance in the defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Arne Slot‘s side could not quite get going in either half despite several opportunities on Saturday afternoon. Luis Diaz almost punished Ryan Yates’ mistakes early on when he took the defender by surprise before smashing a shot against the Forest post. Aside from that their were not a plethora of chances to look back on.

However, Szoboszlai has taken much of the flack after a less-than-impressive performance. Fans took to X to voice their opinion with one saying: “The most annoying thing about Szoboszlai is when we signed him, I thought he was a creative player…we’ve barely seen glimpses of that.”

Another said: “Should’ve taken Szoboszlai off instead of MacAllister.” With a third berating the Hungarian midfielder: “Will be a cold day in hell if I ever rate Szoboszlai…Diabolical footballer.”

It is easy to criticise players after a defeat but there is no doubting the raw ability of the midfielder, it will be interesting to see how he comes back from a poor run of form.

Last season – his first at Anfield – he started off swimmingly scoring a series of impressive strikes however his output tailed off towards the end of the campaign.

Next up for the Reds is a daunting away trip to the San Siro where they will face AC Milan on Tuesday before another match at Anfield, welcoming Bournemouth to Merseyside next weekend.
