Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has said he does not mind where he plays under Andoni Iraola amid criticism of his recent performances.
Szoboszlai scored a wonder goal in Liverpool's 3-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night, however his recent form has come under scrutiny after some lacklustre displays in midfield.
"Was there a criticism?" he said. "I don't know, I didn't see but thanks for telling me. You know this goal [against Spurs] was for the people who are always next to me because we are also humans so we can have bad games.
"We can have bad days and I think never ever was a player who played every game of his life [well] so there will be days also and games where I am going to play bad but I think the most important is the reaction so I think I reacted quite well today and hopefully I can keep on going on Sunday against Bournemouth."
Szoboszlai won just one of his 10 duels in Liverpool's 0-0 draw with Fulham last weekend, leading to questions over whether he is suited to playing in Iraola's new-look midfield.
"I think you guys see a little bit different because we play with one 6, one 8 and one 10 so the 6 and the 8 are not next to each other, the 8 is a little bit higher and the 6 is a little bit deeper and the 10 is a little bit even higher so it is not two next to each other," he said.
"Last week against Fulham I was a No .8, I have been No. 2 as well, I have been No. 6, No. 8, No. 10, No. 7 also."
Asked if he has a preferred position, Szoboszlai added: "No, I just want to be on the pitch. Maybe I am not at the best in the 6 position because I win one of the 10 duels, maybe next the game I am going to win eight out of 10, so I am then a good 6? So it's always balance.

There will be games where we are not playing at our best as a team, as personally me or somebody else but trust me it is always leave the past and then the next one, the next one, the reaction is what matters."
