Daniel Sturridge and Jamie Carragher fear Liverpool star isn’t suited to role under Andoni Iraola

Former Liverpool players Jamie Carragher and Daniel Sturridge have questioned whether Dominik Szoboszlai is suited to playing in a double-pivot midfield under manager Andoni Iraola. Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher argued that the Hungarian international vacates his position too often, leaving Liverpool vulnerable, while Sturridge called for Szoboszlai to adopt a smarter pressing approach in the deeper role.

Szoboszlai, who was Liverpool's player of the season last year under former head coach Arne Slot, has struggled to replicate that form this campaign. Carragher also highlighted teenager Trey Nyoni as the only current Liverpool midfielder who naturally stays central to neutralize opposing counter-attacks.
