Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has conceded he has been unable to maintain his early season form.

The Hungary international looked as though he was the real deal for the club at the start of the Premier League campaign.

However, Szoboszlai is the first to admit he has not been good enough in recent weeks.

“This good start gave me a big boost," Szoboszlai admitted to MLSZ TV.

“Perhaps I set the bar too high, because there were certain matches in which I couldn't bring out the best in myself.

“Or times when you don't play well and in some people's eyes, you're the worst player on the pitch. But it's not a problem, because we get through these things together.

“You're not here to bob around in mid-table or fight to stay in the division, but to go for the Premier League title. I can only say that this (the Premier League) is quicker. Here, you don't have as much time to think as in the Bundesliga. Here, you really need to know what you'd like to do with the ball before you receive it, because if you don't know, you pretty much have no chance (of achieving it).

“So this is what I'd emphasise. If I'm in the centre of midfield, there are more players there (than in wider areas), so I have to be more aware of where everyone is. I'd still say the centre of midfield (is my favoured position) though."
