Dominik Szoboszlai calls on Liverpool to ‘wake up’ or face ‘Conference League’ next season
Szoboszlai struggled to explain the pattern of Liverpool conceding late goals after Richarlison struck in the 90th minute to earn struggling Tottenham a point at Anfield
Dominik Szoboszlai called on Liverpool to “wake up” and warned they could be playing in the Conference League and not the Champions League next season unless they fix their performances in the Premier League . Last season’s champions were held to a 1-1 draw by struggling Tottenham and conceded another late goal in the Premier League as Richarlison struck in the 90th minute at Anfield. It was the eighth time in the league this season that Liverpool had conceded after the 90th minute as Arne Slot’s side blew the chance to go fourth after defeats for Aston Villa and Chelsea.
Szoboszlai, who had given Liverpool a first-half lead with a direct free kick, struggled to explain the pattern of conceding late goals. The former defender Jamie Carragher had said on Sky Sports before Richarlison’s equaliser that Liverpool were “sleepwalking” towards more dropped points. And Szoboszlai told Sky Sports: “ We have to wake up.
If we keep going like this, next season we should be happy if we play Conference League. “In the first half, we played very well. We controlled the whole game, they hardly created many chances.
Second half, I don't know, we just don't do the same things like in the first half. “The question is why? We will sit down together.
