Dominik Szoboszlai had a rare disappointing day this season: the midfielder was hooked off at half-time after an uninspiring first half.
Speaking after the Southampton game, Arne Slot conceded that he should’ve thought about the player’s energy level.
“Every time I’m sitting here and talking about Dominik, I’m talking about, ‘He’s a machine. He can just keep on going, running, running, running’,” the Liverpool boss told a press conference.
“But it was maybe the first time this season that I saw a different energy from him, which is maybe normal. Maybe I made a mistake by playing him because he gives so much every single game.
“Now the good thing is he only played 45 [minutes], so he’s more rested for the upcoming week now than he is if I would have played him for 90.
“And the good thing for me is I have more than only one good midfielder in terms of Dominik.
“We have quite a few and Harvey [Elliott] came in really strong and helped the team again after him helping the team against Paris Saint-Germain.”
