On his forearm, Dominik Szoboszlai has a tattoo in Hungarian which reads 'Talent is a divine blessing, but without incredible will and humility, it is worth nothing'. Dig a little deeper and you find the quote is attributed to Steven Gerrard. Earlier that summer, Alexis Mac Allister turned down the chance to take the number, but Szoboszlai craved that main-character energy. The 25-year-old has been Liverpool's main character this season, scoring his 10th goal of the season last weekend, to go with seven assists. When it was put to him that he was having a "Steven Gerrard season", he politely disagreed and insisted he was writing his own story.
