Liverpool fans furious, demand immediate sale of a star after comeback loss to Man City

After the reversal defeat against Man City at Anfield, Dominik Szoboszlai shifted from being a hero to the focal point of blame, causing numerous Liverpool fans to publicly urge the club to offload him quickly.

The big showdown at Anfield in the early hours of February 9th left a bitter taste for the Reds’ supporters. The center of all criticism was none other than Dominik Szoboszlai – the player who embodied both hope and extreme disappointment for Liverpool within the final 20 minutes of the match.

Although he opened the scoring with an "unbelievable" free-kick, the Hungarian midfielder directly contributed to the team’s downfall by a positional error that led to a goal conceded and ended the game with a straight red card for pulling Erling Haaland’s shirt.

Right after the final whistle, Liverpool fan forums exploded with numerous comments demanding the permanent sale of the number 8 star. On the specialized page This Is Anfield, the anger reached its peak.

One user named Kopite_Power angrily wrote: "Sell this sleepwalker immediately! He strolls on the pitch like he’s taking a walk in the park, then extinguishes all our hopes with the most foolish red card. It’s an insult to the legendary number 8 shirt."

The disappointment wasn’t just about the red card but also Szoboszlai’s lack of focus during the game. Another fan commented: "How can a professional player make such a basic positional mistake that ruins the whole team’s offside trap? Szoboszlai plays with his name, not his brain. Get rid of him to Saudi Arabia this summer if you still want to dream of the Top 4."

Some even described the midfielder as an "emotional deceiver": "He scored a beautiful goal only to burn down our house with his own hands. It’s infuriating to see such an irresponsible player in a do-or-die match."

The loss to Man City marked Liverpool’s fifth defeat at Anfield this season, an unacceptable figure given the club’s stature. Winning only 6 out of the last 20 Premier League games, pressure on coach Arne Slot is mounting, and Szoboszlai’s three-match suspension makes the situation even worse.

Fans seem to have lost patience: "We don’t need isolated moments of brilliance; we need warriors. Szoboszlai should leave along with his stubborn coach!"

Now, Liverpool must travel to Sunderland without their brightest yet most controversial star. With anger spreading, Szoboszlai’s path to regaining trust at Anfield may be longer than the distance of a free-kick.
