Liverpool captain Dominik Szoboszlai delivered a scathing assessment of his team's form after their 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, suggesting the Reds 'should be happy with the Conference League' if their current struggles continue. The Hungary international had given Liverpool an early lead with a stunning free kick at Anfield, only for Richarlison to equalize in the 90th minute.

This latest setback saw Liverpool miss the chance to climb to fourth in the Premier League table, leaving them in fifth place - still likely enough for Champions League qualification but two points behind Aston Villa. Szoboszlai admitted feeling 'flat' after another late concession, telling Sky Sports: 'If we carry on like this, we should be happy with the Conference League.'

The result drew boos from frustrated Liverpool fans, though Szoboszlai urged supporters to stand by the team during this difficult period. Manager Arne Slot acknowledged the understandable frustration, noting this pattern of late goals conceded has happened 'so many times.' Liverpool now face a crucial Champions League second leg against Galatasaray on Wednesday, trailing 1-0 on aggregate.
