ANFIELD — It wasn’t that he was doing anything particularly badly, but more that it was not all that easy to decipher what Dominik Szoboszlai was brought to Liverpool for.
As a result, Liverpool’s lack of investment in the summer transfer market raised even more eyebrows – why were the club putting so much faith in a figure without discernible game-effecting traits?

Read MoreComing into Saturday’s clash with Ipswich, Szoboszlai’s previous five appearances in that advanced position produced a colossal 24 shots at goal– six against Tottenham and seven at Brentford in his last two league outings for the Reds.
Four more followed on Saturday, more than any other player, with one arrowed strike setting Liverpool on their way to the most comfortable victory.
Ibrahima Konate’s pass into Szoboszlai left the 24-year-old with plenty to do, but with one shimmy and a bullet-like left foot, Liverpool had the lead they were never going to relinquish.
“Now he has decided to go himself and score himself, which is so nice for him because, in my opinion, he is underrated. He does not get enough credit for how important he is to this team.”
This enabled Slot to rest some of his star players with the Ipswich put to the sword, with the fact Szoboszlai’s name was first up rather telling.

The task now is to turn those shots into more regular goals. He has already matched his league total from last season before January is out. The power and precision are there, as now, more pertinently, is the confidence.
In a side that seemingly can do no wrong on their cruise towards another Premier League title, a burgeoning Szoboszlai really is starting to justify that hefty transfer fee.
