Dominik Szoboszlai has turned it around and Liverpool are purring.

Arne Slot's efficient Reds were still winning at the start of the season, but many were worried about our Hungarian number eight. Back in the later summer, he was probably the least in-form starting player.

He lacked creativity and his decision making was off. Luckily, he has always been a physical monster off the ball, so he pretty much kept his place in the side while rotating with Curtis Jones.

But in the past few weeks, Szoboszlai has really stepped up. Against Tottenham on Sunday was arguably his greatest performance for Liverpool.

Slot used him very high up, with Szoboszlai often playing further ahead than Luis Diaz, who was the striker. The attacking midfielder linked up with Mo Salah repeatedly, drove through the centre of the park and provided a killer instinct in the box.

Given he has got Jones and fit again Harvey Elliott breathing down his neck for chances, it was the perfect time for Szoboszlai to step up, especially given Liverpool have been heavily linked to playmaker Rayan Cherki for the January transfer window.

It could not be going any better for Liverpool. The players are on song, fit and capable of beating anybody.

The strength in depth is also underrated. What other side can beat Tottenham away from home, 6-3, with Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Elliott, Jones, Wataru Endo, Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah on the bench?
