The Iraola story, about wanting his forwards to exhaust themselves, is interesting. It feels quite heavy-metal football. Iraola intends to press high and not allow Liverpool’s opponents time to settle on the ball. Sounds sensible and the fans will like it. Invoking the Pep Guardiola school or, dare I say it, even the Ian Rush era at Anfield.
It’s exactly this sort of thing, from RawSharkTest in the comments, that has brought this great game of ours to its knees.
