Alexander Isak‘s place in the team, Dominik Szoboszlai‘s selection at right-back and Arne Slot‘s position at the club have all come under the microscope – and not unreasonably either. It is a position the Hungarian has now played five times this season and he wasn’t poor on Saturday.

However, as has been said many times this season, Liverpool missed Szoboszlai in midfield when he isn’t there. Joe Gomez would have been many supporters’ preferred choice to play at full-back, or even at centre-half instead of the error-prone Ibrahima Konate, but Slot explained after the match that the 28-year-old “hadn’t trained the whole week” and he didn’t “think he was fully ready to start.” The only right-back by trade that could have been selected was Calvin Ramsay; he made the Premier League squad on Saturday for the first time since 2022.

That isn’t all his fault, however. As we all know, however, you can’t pick and choose as football isn’t played on paper.
