Bit of a reach that 

What else can I grasp at the moment if not a straw?

[Caps4444]

Anyone else get the feeling that Klopp announcing his departure really messed with Szobo mentally? It'll obviously have had a different effect on every player, but maybe he was particularly heart-set on playing under Jurgen for the foreseeable future, and that pulled the rug out from under him.

Could be, players often sign because of a manager. I can see why he would be annoyed, but his form has dropped a fair bit.

[thisyearisouryear]

Don't know the reason but the man started his Liverpool career with a bang. Hit the ground running and looked like we had a rolls royce of a midfielder on our hand. Hopefully just a temp blip.

[Saus76]

Massively disappointed in this lad. Looks slow and ponderous.

[AndyMuller]

He’s just not that good let’s be honest. Absolutely terrible with the ball.

[F-T-9]

I'm starting to think his early form was the blip and his current form is the norm.

[Dench57]

Yeah he's been playing poorly far longer than he was playing well. Hopefully next season he'll come good but I don't think he should be starting games right now.

He is a professional footballer he should not think like that and doubt he does.

He has been horrendous last 3/4 months he can’t start at Fulham surely

[hide5seek]

Is he really over his injury?
Beginning to think  maybe he was rushed back to soon.

As sad as that is, its fair!, I can't even remember the last game he played where you could give him a 6 or more out of 10

[HeartAndSoul]

Since Hungary qualified for the euros he’s just not been the same. Imagine we had seen this at the start of the season too, we’d think we’ve been ripped off

[MBL?]

Been shite after a great start. Can't pass and can't put a tackle in. Mental after his start.

[Draex]

Loves a blind pass into their player to put them through on goal doesn't he.

[eddiedingle]

Has not justified his price tag at all

[masher]

Been shite after a great start. Can't pass and can't put a tackle in. Mental after his start.

Other than running around and giving the ball way, hard to see what he is offering currently.

[gerrardisgod]

Whatever was in that drink after the Hungary game, Istvan Kozma must have drank gallons of it.

[AmanShah21]

Needs to cut out his square passes. Never really gets them right but I still think he wasnt bad. His pace and work rate always provide an option. We just havent used him well at all since he got back from injury.

[MBL?]

Nothing is the answer.

He's young and has talent but this isn't good enough. Hopefully he ups it big time next season under the new manager.

[newterp]

He has a lot of developing to do. The raw talent is there. But some of the decision-making that he used to get away with in Germany, simply is not going to work here or in European play. A real disappointing end To his season

[In the Name of Klopp]

What does he bring to the team besides the work-rate and shooting at every opportunity?

[elkun]

Loves a blind pass into their player to put them through on goal doesn't he.

Thanks for making me laugh after such a dissapointing match

[Legs]

Nothing he needs dropping it’s that simple I don’t care how harsh it is.

He isn’t on his own but I’m not impressed with him at all

[kingmonkey007]

What does he bring to the team besides the work-rate and shooting at every opportunity?

To try and find positives (which i know most currently on here don't like to do) He is still the only one in that midfield who is running beyond the attackers, him and Trent do seem to link up well and I thought taking off Dom, Trent and Mo from that right hand side basically cut off any hope of creating anything down that side.

[JP!]

If I was Elliott I'd probably be handing in a transfer request not getting a game in front of him at the mo. Think he's super talented but he playing like an absolute bozo right now.

[Draex]

Thanks for making me laugh after such a dissapointing match

If he did them the other end to our player, he'd get 10 assists a season!

[Keith Lard]

Looks back to his old self for the first half an hour, and then his energy once again seem to fizzle out. Considering he was winning all the preseason fitness tests and his brilliant start to his Liverpool career, I didn’t see this drop-off coming. Then again, the whole midfield is looking rather meh right now. Hopefully being able to focus on just the Premier League for the rest of the season will minds and energy.

[medley]

Strange player I find. He's clearly got good vision and awareness at times when you'll find him good at laying people off for shots on goal at the correct moment. Then other times he'll aimlessly pass the ball to the opposition in our own half

I was hoping for more defence splitting ability passes like Coutinho used to be able to do very well when he first joined. I supposed I had conjured this image in my head of a technically proficient attacking midfielder with lovely passing technique spraying passes around the pitch. Don't know where I got that idea from really but he's clearly not lived up that image in my head

[Bcnsean]

Disagree there, apart from one shot he was weak in the first half. Lost the ball a couple of times and passing was poor

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

I'd hate to be Ryan Gravenberch right now with Szobo getting a start ahead of him on this form.

[Draex]

He needs space to play it seems, going to keep struggling if he can’t adapt.

[MBL?]

I'd hate to be Ryan Gravenberch right now with Szobo getting a start ahead of him on this form.

He's not been great himself at all. Overall out of the midfield signings in order it's been Mac, Endo, Szobo, Grav.

[Red Viper]

At this point I wouldn't mind getting rid if the money is right.

[MonsLibpool]

He needs to cut out those cheap giveaways in the middle of the park.

[kingmonkey007]

[Pistolero]

He'd look great in a white suit strolling around the Wembley pitch before playing Man U in a cup final...

[Yorkykopite]

They both came from a league which resembles a baroque dance rather than the fist fight that is Premier League football. It shows. Give them time, and opponents standing off them and allowing them to play, and they're terrific. But Liverpool don't play like that because their opponents don't let them.

Will they learn? Realistically, they have another 12 months-max to try.

[RedG13]

Could be, players often sign because of a manager. I can see why he would be annoyed, but his form has dropped a fair bit.

Or the physically demands coming to the Premier league and Klopp can a year plus along with he had an injury too.

[LallanaInPyjamas]

Szobo in the first half hour tonight was better than anything Gravenberch has produced for us. Our right side was purring once again. People on here are being massively reactionary tonight. We lost the tie last week.

You switch if off at half time? 0.04 xg second half, was wank.

[amir87]

He’s a wide player being asked to play central and it’s showing.
