Head manager frustrated by ‘tired’ display Monaco come from two down to victory 3-2 at Anfield Andoni Iraola explained to his Liverpool side they have work to do after squandering a 2-0 lead against Monaco to lose a second successive pre-campaign friendly. In addition, the former Bournemouth manager last managed a fixture at Anfield almost exactly a year ago in the memorable opener to the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, a fixture the Cherries were unfortunate to lose 4-2.
Reports also note that now on his debut in the home dugout, Iraola saw his side produce a similarly open display and lose again. Further context suggests it became clear Liverpool’s longstanding defensive frailties are still to be eliminated.
