Ex-Liverpool captain McAllister: Szoboszlai similar to Gerrard

Former Liverpool captain Gary McAllister admits he's been impressed by Dominik Szoboszlai.

McAllister has likened the Hungary captain to Reds great Steven Gerrard.

"Szoboszlai and Mac Allister have settled really well - in particular Szoboszlai," said McAllister.

" When you see him, like the other night against Leicester City, he scores another amazing goal wearing No.8, there was a bit of resemblance [to Gerrard] there.

"It is just nice to see somebody shoot. In the six, seven, eight games since the season started he's not shy of getting the ball on his right side and having a crack from 20-25 yards, which is very rare. A lot of players and teams are looking to play little, tight combinations and try to score the perfect goal, but I like the fact that he is quite willing to take the responsibility to take a shot at the goal."
