The Hungary midfielder attempted a backheel on the edge of Liverpool's own six-yard box, which resulted in Barnsley scoring through Adam Phillips[1]. **Reaction from Liverpool's Leadership** Andy Robertson, Liverpool's left-back, described the goal as **"unacceptable"** and emphasized the severity of conceding in such a manner[1]. Head coach Arne Slot called the decision a **"weird choice"** and stated it was something Szoboszlai should not attempt even in training, let alone in an FA Cup match[1]. Barnsley manager Conor Hourihane labeled the play as **"disrespectful"**[1]. **Team Response and Szoboszlai's Accountability** Szoboszlai apologized to his teammates at half-time for his lapse in judgment[1]. Robertson noted that goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili was also unhappy about the manner of the goal[1]. The teammates had stern words for Szoboszlai immediately after the error[1]. **Context and Perspective** Despite the mistake, Robertson acknowledged Szoboszlai's strong overall performance this season, noting he had scored Liverpool's opening goal in their eventual 4-1 victory over Barnsley on Monday[1]. Robertson defended his teammate by emphasizing that Szoboszlai has been "magnificent" and "100 percent" throughout the season, with this error representing merely a lapse in concentration rather than a reflection of his typical standard[1].
