"The Hungarian, wisely restored to midfield after another stint at right back against Forest, once again proved that playing higher up the pitch is where he belongs, as he scored Liverpool's lone goal and showed more fight than anyone else in a red shirt on the night. Granted, he may never score an easier goal - via a rebounded shot that fell perfectly into his path - but his good positioning was rewarded, and seeing his name on the scoresheet was fully deserved."
"The No. 8 led the team in shots on target (3), covered ground everywhere in a desperate attempt to pull Liverpool back into the match, and likely should have recorded an assist after Cody Gakpo turned a free header he created wide. His strong mentality deserves recognition as well. After seeing his World Cup dreams with Hungary collapse in heartbreaking fashion following a late loss to the Republic of Ireland, Szoboszlai clearly put his head down and got straight back to work in England."
Liverpool suffered a 4-1 Champions League defeat to PSV, characterized by early defensive errors and a lack of attacking creativity beyond Dominik Szoboszlai. The backline collapsed within the opening five minutes, undermining any chance of recovery and continuing a sequence of poor performances. Szoboszlai, moved back into midfield, scored the solitary Liverpool goal, led shots on target, covered extensive ground, and nearly assisted another. His mentality after international disappointment was notably strong, while most teammates offered little response. The loss compounded recent struggles, including a humiliating 3-0 Premier League defeat to Forest, signaling deteriorating form.
