Dominik Szoboszlai CONFIRMS Arne Slot experiment is over

Liverpool have finally snapped their losing streak. Following three consecutive losses in the Premier League - and one more in the Champions League - Arne Slot’s side have returned to winning ways.

They won 5-1 in emphatic fashion - downing Eintracht Frankfurt at the Waldstadion on Wednesday night.

And while fans have been purring contentedly over the performances of Curtis Jones, Hugo Ekitike and others, Dominik Szoboszlai was once again pick of the bunch.

What a season the 24-year-old is having - in whatever position Arne Slot decides to put him in. We’ve seen the Hungary captain play right-back, No6, No8 and No10 this season and he’s remained among the team’s top performers.

On Wednesday he played a deeper midfield role - in the pivot - with Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister both out of the lineup.

Szoboszlai runs the show

He took his place alongside Curtis Jones in a makeshift duo - and Slot was rewarded with Liverpool’s most complete midfield performance of the season.

Szoboszlai ran the show. From his deeper midfield station he had 122 touches of the ball, made three big chances and five key passes. He completed 105 of his 110 passes attempted - including five of his six long balls attempted.

To top it all off he had a goal as well as an assist. It was a tour de force from the £60m man - who excelled further back as a creator in the midfield rather than a receiver higher up the pitch.

Keep Szoboszlai in midfield!

And with Gravenberch struggling with an ankle injury - not to mention Mac Allister’s bad form - Szoboszlai MUST continue to play in the engine room.

The temptation for Slot might well be to use Szoboszlai from right-back at the weekend versus Brentford.

Liverpool have used Conor Bradley in that position for the last few weeks - to no great avail in the Premier League as the Northern Ireland captain has looked out of his depth.

He was dropped for Jeremie Frimpong on Wednesday and the plan may well have been to keep using the Dutchman over the weekend.

Alas an injury problem looks set to rule out the 24-year-old for a few weeks - meaning the right-back shirt is again up for grabs.

If Slot doesn’t fancy Bradley then he has got to look beyond Szoboszlai as a fill-in. Even Joe Gomez is worth using ahead of the former RB Leipzig playmaker.

Because Szoboszlai deserves so much more than to be used as Slot’s Swiss army knife.

Let him establish himself in the heart of the team - where he has been so good. No more experiments at right-back - the stakes are too high and the Anfield side will be sacrificing too much in the middle without his skills.
