How Liverpool are preparing to face six new managers in first six games
For Liverpool and Andoni Iraola, the Premier League schedule means they will face six teams with new managers in their first six matches.
Liverpool are set to face six teams with new managers in their first six Premier League matches, a first in the modern era. Andoni Iraola, the new Liverpool manager, will take charge of the team after leaving Bournemouth in June. To prepare, Iraola emphasizes the importance of analyzing opponents, particularly new managers. His team has a dedicated group of analysts, including Jansen Moreno, Tom Webber, Joel Bonner, and Lewis Mahoney, who study the opponents' playing styles and tendencies.
Liverpool's set-piece duties will be handled by Tommy Elphick and Shaun Cooper. The club has also adopted the Hudl Wyscout platform for in-depth video analysis. While pre-season games help, analysts acknowledge that their insights may need to be updated as the season progresses. Iraola, in particular, has a strong record against new managers, having not lost any of his last 18 matches in the Premier League.
