IRAOLA REBELS: "WE ARE TIRED AND INADEQUATE IN ATTACK"

"When you draw, especially at home, you cannot be happy. Today we were not fresh enough and we didn't do enough in attack to make a difference. Less than three days, 60 hours, have passed since the Champions League match we played against Atletico Madrid, and our players had to adapt. We kept the structure in defense, but we need to be much better in attack. We are physically developing Bradley Barcola with matches; he is a player who will give us more."

In the English Premier League, Liverpool disappointed their fans by drawing 0-0 with Fulham at the legendary Anfield stadium. Making statements after the match, manager Andoni Iraola blamed the intense match schedule for the consecutive point losses. Emphasizing that his players, who could only rest for sixty hours after the tough Atletico Madrid shift in the Champions League, could not reflect the necessary energy on the pitch, the Spanish coach openly admitted that his team was exhausted. The Reds, who drew an unproductive image in the attacking lines and managed only three shots on target throughout ninety minutes, left with a draw in four consecutive league matches at Anfield for the first time since 2011. Iraola also touched upon the situation of young talent Bradley Barcola, who did not have a pre-season training camp and experienced his first starting eleven match in the Premier League for the club. Stating that they are trying to improve Barcola's physical condition by playing matches, the experienced manager expressed his belief that the young forward will make a great contribution to the team in the long run. Underlining the lack of creativity in attack despite being successful defensively, Iraola added that they urgently need to improve their offensive variations.
