Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has been a bit unlucky to find himself playing a few games as a makeshift right-back so far this season.
The Hungary international has shown plenty of quality in midfield or attacking midfield throughout his career, including in his first two seasons at Liverpool.
Still, Arne Slot has had some injury problems to contend with this term, and that’s meant shifting Szoboszlai to cover on the right-hand side of his defence.
It seems pretty clear, however, that the Reds boss needs to try something different, as it’s not a position he’s adjusted that well too, while his quality is also missing in the middle of the park.
Returning to midfield for his national side on Tuesday evening, Szoboszlai was at his influential best in that position, picking up one goal and one assist in a 2-2 draw with Portugal.
The 24-year-old was one of the best players on the pitch, earning an 8/10 rating from WhoScored as he reminded everyone what he’s capable of when he’s used properly.
Slot surely needs to take note and find a different solution to his right-back issues, though of course replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold was never going to be easy.
