Liverpool goalscorer Dominik Szoboszlai has been speaking to Sky Sports after the defeat: “It’s not good. We go home with zero points. After the first half, we shouldn’t be happy at all. We should be who we were at the start of the second half.
“You concede from a set piece. You talk about counter-attacks and that’s how the second goal happened. We have to focus more and look at the details.
“I don’t focus on next season. I focus on these three games. We want Champions League next season because we belong there, but we’ll see what happens in the future.”
On whether he is a leader on the pitch: “You have to ask the players that. I try to do my best and hopefully set an example day-by-day. We have a lot of players who can set example and I try to be one of them, and if it works I’m happy.”
