Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai has said Reds players may need to dive in future after Alexander Isak was denied a penalty in Sunday's 1-0 home defeat by Arsenal.

Isak's shirt was pulled by Jurrien Timber but the Liverpool striker stayed on his feet and referee Andy Madley didn't point to the spot. Stuart Attwell on VAR chose not to intervene.

"I don't know what they expect from us - to dive or something. I don't think we are the type of team or players to do that, but from now on we might need to do it," said Szoboszlai.

"If Alex falls down it's a clear penalty. Timber doesn't really care about the ball and maybe if he doesn't pull Alex's shirt, Alex can head it in the goal."

Asked if Liverpool needed to be a bit more streetwise, Szoboszlai added: "It is not our type of play. I don't think, in this moment, you can think, 'oh, let me wait for someone touching me and I'll fall down'.

"He is focusing on the ball and he wants to head the ball in the net. But if you interfere with your hand on his back then he might not do it. I don't think you can see this one differently."

Szoboszlai retured to action after being out injured for a fortnight and admitted it is difficult to find the balance between wanting to play and managing his fitness.

"I want to play every 90 minutes but sometimes your body says rest a little bit," he added.

"I missed games against Manchester City and LASK and then felt very good again after a couple of days off - but it seemed I wasn't ready.

"Sometimes I listen to my heart and not my body. I was actually ready from the start [on Sunday] but I've played 30 minutes and let's see from now on."
