Forget Elliott: Liverpool’s 81-pass wizard ran the show in second-half Wolves comeback

Posted by

Liverpool will be thankful that Wolves bizarrely didn’t manage to capitalise on their dominance in the first-half of action at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

A one-man tweak to the lineup at the half-time break (and some robust messaging, one might imagine, from Jurgen Klopp in the dressing room) proved enough to shift momentum in the visitors’ favour.

Despite some superb substitute performances from the likes of Harvey Elliott, however, Dominik Szoboszlai’s comparatively masterful display in the second 45 shouldn’t go unremembered, as was demonstrated by Bence Bocsak’s informative tweet.

The Hungarian posted a stinker of epic proportions in the opening half, though certainly wasn’t alone in that regard, to such an extent that Jurgen Klopp suggested only Jarell Quansah was at the races during that period of the game.

It was telling of Szoboszlai’s importance to this Liverpool side that even the absence of Alexis Mac Allister didn’t utterly derail our control in the middle of the park come the blowing of the whistle for the second-half.

The 22-year-old dynamo is quickly making himself integral to us exerting any kind of dominance on the pitch – long may that continue.

  1. The complaint made by Henderson that nobody wanted him to stay at LFC is rubbish. He knows deep down in his heart he is a liability.LFC cannot be stagnant for ever by keeping him. How could we be progressive if Henderson would play week in week out? He had nothing no skill no skill no creativity only pride of being in a position of captaincy.

  2. I am a die hard sworn enemy of Man.utd.If I could be able to decide the fate of clubs I wouldn’t hand pick Man.utd and place them at number 18.I could only be happy only if they finish at number 20.I organized an unplanned party yesterday to celebrate the out come of the Sea gulls.”You will never walk alone “.

    1. All kopites are sworn enemies of the disgusting red devils. For me the best result last season was the hammering they got from us. They can’t forget this.

All selfish people say duplication.

  4. Even Klopp admitted he had a poor game, some people need to stop with the agenda of some player, it’s beyound ridiculous. People are so obsessed with having a special midfielder like De Bruyne that they try to overblown everything about Szoboszlai.

    1. Yet u are the same one i bet that said henderson is a true liverpool legend when in fact he was totally useless he just runs around the field trying to look like he can play lol and yes every1 was bad in the first half but 3 points is what matters at the end of the day whats the point in playing the best football all season but u end up winning nothing lol

    2. Szobo was excellent in that 2nd half and has been great so far this season. Do you really think fans would be praising a player so much if he wasnt that good. He’s a class act. Great too watch
