Why Liverpool’s Attack Has Got WORSE Under Iraola.

Liverpool are fifth in the Premier League after nine games under Andoni Iraola: four wins, three draws and two defeats. But are they actually any good? In this video I break down Iraola's Liverpool in three parts: how his Bournemouth-style press works and how teams are breaking it, how he's improved the defence so much, and why the attack is creating less than it did under Arne Slot. What's covered: • Pressures up from 15th to 4th, tackles attempted from 10th to 2nd, fouls from 18th to 1st • The zonal diamond and the jump to man-to-man, against Brighton and Arsenal • How Brighton's 3v2 and Ødegaard's free space show what happens when one jump is missed • Araujo at right-back: how it fixed the balance, with five goals conceded in seven games since • Set pieces: from the league's worst (20 conceded) to none so far • Game states: 44% possession when winning, and no goals from the 36 shots conceded • The attack: xG down, and expected threat from passes from 1st to 10th • Three reasons why: too few creators, less creativity at full-back, and the fatigue from Iraola's intensity, including Wirtz's decision against City Chapters 0:00 Fifth in the table, but are Liverpool any good? 0:28 Part 1: The press 2:32 How teams break the press 5:30 Part 2: The defence 7:24 Set pieces 8:11 Game states 9:39 Part 3: The attack 9:57 Reason 1: Not enough creators 11:06 Reason 2: Less creativity at full-back 12:25 Reason 3: Intensity and fatigue 14:25 Verdict: will Iraola succeed at Liverpool?
