On the whole, very quick, slick and sharp.  Wirtz a ridiculous talent. Salah, Gakpo and Szoboszlai relentless. Frimpong and Kerkez both full of pace. Ngumoha a hugely exciting prospect. Another centre-back needed, however.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Beth Lindop (@beth_lindop) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/beth_lindop\/status\/1952471458573426714?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Think Szoboszlai is looking amazing in the deeper role. Really opens up more midfield rotations and keeps a few people a little fresher hopefully.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Darragh ??

It is not often headline-worthy, but successful teams are built on players like Szoboszlai. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dominik Szoboszlai had debate raging over his place in the side after Florian Wirtz\u2018s arrival, but his pre-season&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59782,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1711,403,99],"class_list":["post-59781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
