Dominik Szoboszlai has conceded he has been unable to live up to the bright start to his Liverpool career after reflecting on his first season at the club.
The Hungarian joined the Reds in a £60m move from RB Leipzig last summer and enjoyed a brilliant beginning to life at Anfield.
With a number of Jurgen Klopp’s squad guilty of the same after injury, his return has coincided with Liverpool’s title-challenge collapsing and premature exits from both the Europa League and FA Cup.

And the 23-year-old has admitted he might have set the bar too high for himself as he explained how he has had to adapt to Premier League football.
“This good start gave me a big boost,” Szoboszlai admitted to MLSZ TV.
“You’re not here to bob around in mid-table or fight to stay in the division, but to go for the Premier League title.
I can only say that this (the Premier League) is quicker.
I’d still say the centre of midfield (is my favoured position) though.”
Boasting seven goals and four assists from 43 appearances to date, Szoboslzai’s loss of form in recent weeks has seen him lose his place in the Liverpool starting XI.
This sounds simple but is actually very difficult.”
Darwin Nunez has made headlines this week after deleting all but one of his Liverpool-related images on Instagram and blocking some fan accounts on Twitter after his own loss of form, with such actions seemingly in response to online response.
But in the face of outside criticism, Szoboszlai insists he only accepts critiques of his performances from manager Klopp, his coaches and senior team-mates, and his own father.
“I accept critiques of my play from (my father) and from my coaches too,” he said.
