Live From Anfield, “FATAL” – Daniel Sturridge Blast Liverpool Superstar After Sluggish Performance Against Brighton. He Said, “After Watching Him Yesterday, It’s Painfully Clear: Sell Him In January. He’s Become A Liability, Pretending To Be A Footballer While Piling Mistake After Mistake On The Pitch. Every Touch, Every Decision—Error After Error. The Moment He Was Subbed Off, Liverpool Came Alive And Scored Twice. He’s Bringing Nothing But Disappointment This Season. Enough Is Enough. It’s Time The Club Finds A Real Replacement. Daniel Sturridge Has Had Enough~Needs To Be Sold Come January, Pretends To Be A Footballer.”

Liverpool fans expressed their frustration with Dominik Szoboszlai’s performance on social media after he struggled to make an impact in their 2-1 Premier League victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on November 2. This match followed a narrow 3-2 win over the same team in the EFL Cup Round of 16 just days prior.

Brighton dominated much of the first half, taking the lead in the 14th minute with a well-placed shot from Ferdi Kadioglu that hit the post and went in. They continued to apply pressure, with Danny Welbeck and Georginio Rutter coming close to scoring. Liverpool initially found it difficult to gain momentum in the second half, but they began to recover as the match progressed. Brighton’s goalkeeper, Bart Verbruggen, made two impressive saves, denying efforts from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah.

The turning point came in the 69th minute when a cross from Cody Gakpo found its way into the net to equalize. Just three minutes later, Salah capitalized on a counter-attack, firing a powerful shot into the top-left corner to secure the victory for Liverpool.

However, Szoboszlai’s contribution was disappointing for fans. During his 66 minutes on the field, he did not register any goals or assists, created only one chance, and did not manage any shots or tackles from midfield. Fans took to social media to voice their dissatisfaction, with some feeling that Szoboszlai had not met expectations this season.

One fan stated, “I think Szoboszlai needs to be sold in January. He’s not contributing to Liverpool at all.” Another added, “Szobo just pretends to be a footballer lately.”

Reactions from other fans included comments like:

– “Notice how we scored two goals after Szoboszlai was taken off?”

– “The team played better after Szobo came off.”

– “With Szobo off, we actually look like a proper team. Inject it!”

More critical comments followed: “Honestly, Szoboszlai has been disappointing. I expected much more from him.” Another fan questioned, “Why does Szoboszlai start over Jones? The Hungarian has been poor in possession this season.”

Despite Szoboszlai’s struggles, Liverpool’s comeback win demonstrated the team’s resilience, with Trent Alexander-Arnold earning the highest rating of the match at 8.3 according to Footballwave. After a quiet first half, Alexander-Arnold excelled in the second half, creating two chances, completing eight out of nine dribbles with 89% accuracy, making two clearances, three recoveries, and winning 12 duels—showing strong defensive form under manager Arne Slot.

Following losses by Manchester City and Arsenal, Liverpool climbed to the top of the Premier League standings with 25 points from 10 games, maintaining a two-point lead over City and a seven-point gap over fourth-placed Arsenal.
