Dominik Szoboszlai confronted a troubling evening after Liverpool surrendered a lead in a second-half collapse against Leeds United.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot’s side had produced a composed showing through the opening 70 minutes and appeared on course to secure their third Premier League victory since October. Instead, the match unravelled in the final half hour and left the Hungary midfielder searching for answers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what happened after 2\u20130, I think we thought the game was over,\u201d Szoboszlai revealed. \u201cWe just made sure at the beginning of the game that this is the kind of game where you can never underestimate who you play against.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe after the penalty they just had their momentum, scored the 2-2. We came back, so it’s a good reaction from the team again. Just conceding again from a set-piece is not the nicest way.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the 2-2 we showed a good reaction, we showed our mentality. We wanted to come back because we knew we made a mistake in a way that we let them come back for 2-2 and we scored the 3-2. But nothing to say about the result.\u201d<\/p>\n
The defeat leaves Liverpool in a precarious league position. The club sit eighth on the table and are 10 points adrift of Premier League pace-setters Arsenal, a gap that Szoboszlai acknowledged while appearing uncertain of his side’s standing.<\/p>\n
Szoboszlai also urged collective responsibility as the squad seeks a response. \u201cNow we have to find solutions, we have to show reactions and everybody has to take responsibility, and not always the older guys or the guys who are here longer. ]<\/p>\n
The result raises fresh questions about Liverpool’s ability to arrest a run of inconsistent results. After a promising start to this game, the manner of the collapse and the concessions from a penalty and a set-piece will dominate discussion as the team aims to regroup in the fixtures ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
