<\/p>\nLiverpool fans have lost their minds at Pep Guardiola's pronunciation of their new Hungarian superstar Dominik Szoboszlai.<\/p>\n
The Reds will go toe-to-toe with Manchester City on Saturday lunchtime as the pair battle for a spot at the summit of the Premier League. And ahead of the game, Guardiola was outlining Jurgen Klopp's side's biggest threat – their summer signing Szoboszlai. <\/p>\n
Guardiola said: "Salah, of course, and now with Szoboszlai," but Guardiola pronounced his name Svol-az-e. And Liverpool fans were quick to joke about his mistake on social media.<\/p>\n

"Pep Guardiola\u2019s pronunciation of \u201cSzoboszlai\u201d is absolutely mental," one fan joked. While a second responded: "Svolazi and Gravener has this guy been playing PES lately!"<\/p>\n
"Szoboszlai should be a name he's going to remember to say correctly after tomorrow," a third warned. And another added: "We\u2019re this man\u2019s headache… stop stressing we\u2019re not even that good… I beg!"<\/p>\n

Szoboszlai has been earning a whole host of admirers on Merseyside, and Reds legend John Barnes even compared him to Steven Gerrard. Speaking on talkSPORT, Barnes said: ""Szoboszlai has been incredible.<\/p>\n
"I'd kind of heard about him before, but I've never see him and that's how good the scouting is, because Liverpool sign players who will suit the way Liverpool play. I don't think he'd suit Man City or Arsenal, and he probably wouldn't go there!<\/p>\n
"He reminds me of Steven Gerrard to a certain extent, because you don't necessarily get box-to-box midfield players who can defend, who can attack, but that's what he does. I've been so impressed with him and he's level-headed, he's 22, he's been fantastic. He's been our best player."<\/p>\n
