Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has addressed Bradley Barcola's position ahead of Sunday's trip to Crystal Palace. The France international was deployed as a central striker in midweek, with Iraola explaining the tactical thinking behind the experiment.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has heaped praise on striker Alexander Isak ahead of their Premier League encounter with Crystal Palace. Isak scored his seventh goal of the campaign in midweek and looks to improve his record at Selhurst Park.
Andoni Iraola has admitted Liverpool are "sometimes too honest" after a striking statistic showed no Premier League side have conceded more fouls this season. The Reds head to Crystal Palace on Sunday on the back of two straight defeats to Arsenal and Fenerbahce, and their manager wants a response, with Ryan Gravenberch still a doubt because of a heel problem.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has warned his team-mates that their current defensive form is "not sustainable" following a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce. The Reds surrendered a late lead in Istanbul, conceding three times from set-pieces to mark a historically poor run in European competition.
Liverpool sensation Trey Nyoni has challenged his teammates to show their true character against Crystal Palace this weekend following a frustrating European night in Istanbul. The teenager made history by becoming the club's second-youngest goalscorer in the Champions League, but his personal milestone was overshadowed by a late collapse against Fenerbahce.
Crystal Palace have appealed against the straight red card Jean-Philippe Mateta received in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham. The France international faces a three-match ban for his studs-up challenge on Micky van de Ven, and losing him now would be a fresh blow for under-pressure Eagles boss Pierre Sage, with Liverpool visiting Selhurst Park on Sunday.
