Dominic Szoboszlai Slams Liverpool Supporters For Leaving Early: 'Doesn't Help'

Liverpool's Dominic Szoboszlai has criticized the club's fans for leaving Anfield early, stressing the need for full support, especially during tough times.

Liverpool’s Dominic Szoboszlai has taken a swipe at the club’s fans who leave Anfield early during their recent home matches. He said after Liverpool’s damning 1-1 draw to relegation-threatened Tottenham that ‘everyone is noticing’ how a section of the crowd leaves when the Merseysiders are scored against, saying it doesn’t help the team, which is trying its best to get some form back.

The Tottenham match came between Liverpool’s Champions League Round of 16 ties against Galatasaray. 1-0 down after the first leg, Arne Slot chose to rotate the lineup a bit. Though Liverpool lacked control, Szoboszlai scored yet another long-range free-kick to get them ahead in the match, but the defending champions created little after that, only to concede a later equalizer from Richarlison.

“I don’t think it helps us also that after 80 minutes people start to go home, it doesn’t help us at all," Szoboszlai said, as quoted by The Athletic. “Everyone is noticing that and when we concede a goal still people are leaving the stadium – you don’t leave when we score. I understand the frustration but we need them, we need everybody," he added.

“I don’t say they have no right to leave the stadium, they can leave if they want. But we need them and they should know this. We are one less without them. Let’s say it like this. We want to make them happy, it’s not that we do it on purpose. They can be angry but stick with us because we are a family, we need you guys. If you talk about Liverpool then the Champions League is normal. You have to be there. I am going to do everything that is possible to finish in the top four but alone I’m not enough so we need everybody."

Liverpool are currently fifth in the Premier League table, two points behind Aston Villa and only one ahead of Chelsea.
