Dominik Szoboszlai was visibly frustrated and angry after Liverpool's dramatic 3-3 draw against Leeds United, expressing sharp criticism of his Liverpool teammates' mentality and defensive lapses. Despite Szoboszlai's strong performance, including a crucial goal in the 80th minute that put Liverpool 3-2 ahead, the team failed to hold on to the lead. Liverpool conceded an equalizer from a set-piece by Leeds substitute Ao Tanaka, highlighting ongoing defensive issues.

Szoboszlai blamed the collapse on a loss of concentration, saying Liverpool seemed to “feel the game was over at 2-0,” which proved costly when Leeds fought back to level. He emphasized the importance of never underestimating opponents and noted that although Liverpool showed resilience by coming back from 2-2, conceding again from a set-piece was disappointing and unacceptable.

Reflecting on the team's situation, Szoboszlai stated that internal squad matters remain private, but stressed the need for collective responsibility and self-reflection. He urged every player to assess if they had done everything possible and insisted that if the answer is yes, the team must keep pushing to regain momentum. Liverpool’s recent form is concerning, with only four wins in their last 15 matches, leaving them eighth in the Premier League as the season reaches its midway point.

Szoboszlai’s blunt verdict underscores a pressing need for Liverpool to improve their defensive solidity and mental focus to restore their competitive edge. The Hungarian midfielder’s comments serve as both a warning and a call to action for the squad ahead of upcoming fixtures.
