Dominik Szoboszlai MOCKS claims he is incompatible with Florian Wirtz

While Liverpool fans are dreaming of new signings, Arne Slot is busy working out tactical plans this summer, deciding where players will be positioned next season alongside the fresh faces.

After one season of using Jurgen Klopp's hand-crafted squad, the Dutchman is now going to get the opportunity to imprint his footballing philosophy on the Reds.

In for Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back will be Jeremie Frimpong, an ultra-attacking asset who will add an an entirely different feather to the team's tactical bow alongside Conor Bradley.

Furthermore, we'll likely have Milos Kerkez competing with Andy Robertson at left-back instead of Kostas Tsimikas, so Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz will now have an over-lapping runner to work with.

And then we've got the impending arrival of Florian Wirtz into the midfield, which has led to many to question what Dominik Szoboszlai's role will be moving forward. In reality, the pair can work together.

An insight into a Wirtz-Szoboszlai midfield

Last night for Hungary, despite captaining his team to a 2-0 loss against Sweden, Szoboszlai delivered a masterclass for the onlooking Liverpool fans checking in on the 24-year-old.

He was initially positioned as a No. 10 alongside Roman Sallai, who might be Wirtz in Liverpool's engine room next season, but throughout the game he was a deep-lying playmaker in the No. 8 role.

Inside his 79 minute appearance we saw a bit of everything. One shot on target, four key passes, an accurate cross, five accurate long-balls, one big chance created, six ground duels won, one aerial duel won, four clearances, one tackle and he was fouled five times by the opposition.

The man was a trouble-maker from the off, constantly getting involved wherever he could and making sure he contributed to the team, whether it was on or off the ball. A captain's performance.

So what did this tell us? Well, if the reports are to be believed, then Wirtz will feature predominantly in the No. 10 role at Liverpool, which then potentially relegates Szoboszlai to the No. 8 role alongside Ryan Gravenberch, although he'll be competing with Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones for minutes.

In the final games of the season, we saw Slot try and change things up, and the new role for the Hungarian is definitely something that he could excel in next season if he is required to change.

But Wirtz has previously been positioned as a false-nine centre-forward and we've even seen Slot utilise a system where no striker is used. At the Etihad against Manchester City in February, Jones and Szoboszlai played as joint No. 10s, constantly pressing high and overloading the midfield.

As such, it is entirely plausible that Szoboszlai will not be isolated next season because of Wirtz's arrival, his adaptability makes him an integral player for the team, wherever he is positioned.

Furthermore, we have even seen Wirtz be played at left-wing for Leverkusen before and that would allow Slot to keep his favoured midfield, and play a striker - whoever that might be.

Liverpool are building a team of bulldogs who are relentless in their pursuit of the ball and once they've got hold of it, it's a struggle to take it back once the opposition has been penned back.
