"Endo was there against Sunderland, three players are now injured there and Gomez is not fully fit."If everyone was fully fit, Szoboszlai would still be Liverpool's best right-back. He'd be Liverpool's best midfielder too.
That's the problem for them too."The midfield area, the quality that Forest have got in [Elliot] Anderson and [Morgan] Gibbs-White, that will be the key area today."[Ryan] Gravenberch, [Alexis] Mac Allister and [Florian] Wirtz, the Forest midfield can go up against them and cause them problems."Asked whether Szoboszlai was also Liverpool's best midfield player, Carragher replied: "Yeah, he is this season. And that’s the problem for him really."Liverpool left the City Ground with a 1-0 win, with Alexis Mac Allister having two goals initially ruled out before his stoppage‑time strike was eventually allowed to stand.The Reds are back in top flight action on Saturday when they host relegation battlers West Ham United, with Slot's men looking to return to the Champions League places.Ensure our latest sport headlines always appear at the top of your Google Search by making us a Preferred Source.
