Liverpool hit by another stoppage-time goal Liverpool have now conceded eight Premier League goals in the 90th minute or later this season - their most in a single campaign. That's why it's so easy to play against this Liverpool team."Szoboszlai: We must wake up or settle for Conference League Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Speaking after the 1-1 draw with Tottenham in the Premier League, Dominik Szoboszlai suggested that Liverpool's performance levels need to improve otherwise they'll be forced to settle for Conference League football next season.
Dominik Szoboszlai says Liverpool should be happy to qualify for the Conference League if they continue to play like they did in their draw with Tottenham."We have to wake up. If we keep going like this, next season we should be happy if we play Conference League," Szoboszlai told Sky Sports."In the first half, we played very well.
When it happened against Wolves, it felt like it was the biggest blow of the season and now it happens again."Again, in the last minute, we get an opportunity to score afterwards ourselves, which we didn't do, and then we leave the pitch with a disappointing result."The way we concede is not always the same in the last minute, so you can't compare the deflected shot against Wolves with the one we conceded today, or the 30-yard shot against Fulham in the top corner, so it's different in the way we concede, but the same thing is that we constantly - or mainly - if we drop points, concede goals either in extra time or as today in the last minute."It's clear that there were a few things positive today."If you look at the great goal we scored with Dominik, if you look at the performance of Rio [Ngumoha] for a 17-year-old, if you look at the chances we've created... And as a result of that, we're not able to win or to get as many points as we want to."To put Slot's comment about chance conversion in context, in the Premier League this season Liverpool have scored 49 times from a total Expected Goals (xG) figure of 50.01.So Liverpool have performed almost exactly to their xG.
