Dominik Szoboszla has been one of Liverpool’s few consistent performers during a poor run of form.
Liverpool in the last month have been defined by inconsistency, dropped points and a clear dip in intensity.
But even as the team struggles to find rhythm, the Hungarian midfielder has continued to deliver the sort of output that keeps Liverpool competitive.
The data from this season creates a clear picture: Szoboszlai is carrying the physical and creative workload at a time when the team most needs leadership.
Average distance covered per match (2025/26)
Szoboszlai has operated as a high work rate engine for Liverpool.
Szoboszlai’s work rate is an area where he consistently outperforms many midfielders across the league.
These figures give him an average of 11.66km per match, underlining the consistency of his engine and the intensity of his play even when Liverpool’s collective pressing has faded.
That high mileage reflects his role under Arne Slot. He can be expected to press, shuttle between the lines and offer straight outlets in transition.

Szoboszlai is regularly moving the ball into dangerous territory and consistently generating openings for his teammates.
Data shows a player still progressing the ball and still creating despite Liverpool’s wider struggles in possession.
In matches where Liverpool have lacked fluidity, Szoboszlai has remained one of the few players consistently breaking lines and initiating attacking sequences.
Szoboszlai’s attacking contribution shows noticeable improvement.
This season, the midfielder has already delivered key moments:
• His stunning freekick to beat Arsenal at Anfield
• A goal and assist in Liverpool’s Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt – a performance that earned him Man of the Match
Even in a system struggling for fluency, his individual numbers reflect a player becoming more decisive and more influential than in 2024/25.
Those events are not just highlights, they reflect a player whose chance creation and goal threat are being delivered at key moments.
Liverpool’s recent form has been poor, but Szoboszlai’s performances standout in contrast.
The data shows a midfielder combining relentless work rate with meaningful end product, a rare constant during one of the clubs toughest spells in recent years.
If Liverpool are to climb out of their current slump, the numbers suggest Szoboszlai will be central to any turnaround. The runner, the creator, and most importantly, the player still driving standards when the team around him falls short.
