Dominik Szoboszlai believes it is up to him and his Liverpool teammates to get the best out of summer signing Florian Wirtz. During that time, Wirtz has been deployed off the left-hand side, with Dominik Szoboszlai preferred in the No.

But despite Wirtz failing to score a goal or create an assist in the Premier League since his mega-money move, Szoboszlai believes it is down to him and the rest of his teammates to get the best out of the German at Anfield. “He [Wirtz] can have a good game, Milos [Kerkez] can have a good game, everyone can have a good game – but if we don’t perform as a team, then it won’t help.” The Premier League might be proving a tough adaptation for Wirtz, but the Champions League has been a safe haven for the former Bayer Leverkusen ace this term.

Wirtz has started all four of the Reds’ clashes in Europe this season, and last week produced his best performance for the club against Real Madrid. Szoboszlai has no problem with defensive role – but midfielder at heart After failing to add to his goal tally for the season, Szoboszlai insists that he still regards himself as a midfielder – not a right-back.
