It's ridiculous isnt it?

He was brilliant at the start of the season when he was fresh. There was a real verve to his play, not just in the middle but out on the wing.

Think what has happened is he has been overworked and is shattered, and that impacts decision making. He has a great engine on him, we saw that at the start, but that has looked less effective as the season has worn on as he is being asked to so too much with the midfield not being athletic enough in the defensive position. Jurgen spoke of the 6 being less mobile when he said the midfielders would have to "stay close" to each other, "compact", to compensate for this deficiency, but that means asking your 8s to do even more. Make all those attacking runs but somehow get back quickly to help out the 6 so as not to leave him exposed; babysitting the 6 effectively.

Bringing in a quality DM will do wonders for the 8s in easing their workload, allowing them to have more freedom in their attacking play.

Very poor again. Almost cost us the point.

Sickening he didn't stop both of their goals.

We're surely not bumping this thread for a player who came on in the 91st minute. Come on.

His shit pass in the last minute (consistent theme recently) could have led to a loss. He's still making the same mistakes.

It's insane but not when you see the poster that bumped it.

I doubt the next management staff will keep him.

Buster Gonad · « **Reply #2691 on:** April 27, 2024, 02:39:13 pm »

Thought it was an odd time to bring him on. Wasted time when we were on top.

I see this being said about a lot of players. But is it realistic that another club will offer the sums that the club would want from him? Does Szoboszlai himself even want to go somewhere else, like I would imagine a lot of moves would be a downgrade for him in like every way possible.

y2w902 · « **Reply #2693 on:** April 27, 2024, 02:44:52 pm »

Almost an Aspas moment, don’t get why we bothered to bring him on so late

Lol.

The pass he made at end was suicidal. Mac was very angry with him. He's been making the same mistakes time and time again regardless of whether he starts or comes on.

That's not good enough for a midfielder as they are the basics.

GarciaAndNunezNunezNunez · « **Reply #2695 on:** April 27, 2024, 02:46:44 pm »

his passes bobble about 5 times before they reach the player

PEG2K · « **Reply #2696 on:** April 27, 2024, 02:56:52 pm »

Slot loves quick and short passes. Szobo probably needs to spend extra time on his passing this summer.

Giono · « **Reply #2697 on:** April 27, 2024, 03:03:59 pm »

He'll be better next season. He has had a stark introduction to a PL season where we are competing on 4 fronts while having major injuries. He'll recover by next season.

I doubt Hungary will go deep this summer. Especially if he is expected to carry them. He'll get some rest and hopefully not be overplayed next season.

Barryg21 · « **Reply #2698 on:** April 27, 2024, 03:48:36 pm »

He has had quite the season arc. Best player on the team the first 5 matches of the season
Now a 85th min sub

Hopefully a summer rest, new manager, and a clear head and we start again

Where did it all go wrong

Lemieux · « **Reply #2700 on:** **Yesterday** at 01:20:12 pm »

Just needs to find consistency there's a great player in there.

As frustrating as he's been for a long time now, there's definitely a player in there. You don't have the first couple of months he had without having a huge amount of ability. Not quite sure what's happened to him since February particularly - I don't think it's as simple as saying he's been overworked - but I'd back him to be a good player for us for years to come.

HeartAndSoul · « **Reply #2702 on:** **Yesterday** at 10:20:14 pm »

Hopefully he won’t be running around trying to cover the full backs next season and we can actually see the Szobo from the start of this season. The drop in form has been staggering but he’s also got through some amount of running and covering the ground to make up for others lack of athleticism.

The ideal situation would be for him to go away with Hungary, have a good tournament and come back full of confidence. Needs to cut out the loose passes as well.

Giono · « **Reply #2703 on:** **Today** at 03:15:23 am »

I hope that Hungary does poorly and exit early. Then he can come back here hungry and concentrate on rebuilding his career under Slot.

He's their captain and one of their main sources of goals, he won't want to do poorly and I don't think we want him in shit form going into a new season either.

It is bullshit how much football these guys play though.

Is it better that he comes back a spent force like he has come back from Hungary's qualifiers?

There is some similarities between Mo and Dom's international breaks. Over-reliance of their NTs on them, burn-out and injuries when they come back. Endo came back from the Asia Cup without much gas in the tank too.

Also, we want Dom back quickly this summer so he can a full preseason with Arne. If he goes deep in Germany, he might find Harvey or someone else in his way.
