Dominik Szoboszlai dismantles Liverpool performance and makes Conference League warning

Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai gave a damning post-match interview after the Reds dropped points against struggling Spurs at Anfield on Sunday.

Szoboszlai, arguably Liverpool's best player this season, opened the scoring with his third free-kick of the season in the 18th minute.

But Liverpool lacked any type of intensity and their passive performance was punished in the 90th minute when former Everton striker Richarlison equalised and ended a wretched six-game losing run for Spurs.

The Premier League champions missed out on the chance to move up to fourth in the table after Aston Villa's 3-1 defeat to third-placed Manchester United earlier on.

Szoboszlai spoke to Patrick Davison of Sky Sports after the game and did not mince his words, warning Liverpool that they will play in the Conference League and not the Champions League next season if they do not get their act together.

"I don't know what happened, I have nothing to say," Szoboszlai commented.

"Again in the last minute I don't know how many times this season already. We have to wake up.

"We have to wake up because there are eight or nine games to go. If we keep going like this, next season we should be happy if we play Conference League."

Asked about why Liverpool have experienced repeated set-backs and conceded so many late goals this season, the Hungary captain added: "I don't know why this is happening, I honestly don't know.

"I think in the first-half we played very well, we controlled the whole game and they hardly created chances apart from one or two headers. Second half we just didn't so the same things.

"We will sit down together, and this is the most difficult time, but we have to stick together."

Boos were heard at full-time after Liverpool failed to see out another game and though Szoboszlai understood the reaction, he called for supporters to get behind the team and spur them on in a "difficult time".

"I didn't hear the boos, but we can understand them," Szoboszlai stated.

"We are not performing how we should. They should stand behind us because last season we became Champions four games before the end everybody was happy. Support us in a difficult time."

"There is still time to show how much we want it, we have to stick together and fight for the club."

Liverpool are back at Anfield on Wednesday when they host Galatasaray in the Champions League round of 16 second leg.

Arne Slot's men were beaten by the Istanbul giants in the first leg, with former Fulham and Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina scoring the only goal of the game to give Galatasaray a second win over Liverpool this season.
