'Tired' Liverpool must adapt to schedule, says Iraola
LIVERPOOL: Andoni Iraola said it was obvious Liverpool suffered from fatigue in a 0-0 draw at home to Fulham on Saturday, but insisted his players have to adapt to a gruelling schedule.
Andoni Iraola, Liverpool's new manager, admitted that the team suffered from fatigue following their 0-0 draw against Fulham in the Premier League. The match came just three days after Liverpool's victory against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Iraola acknowledged that the turnaround time between games was particularly grueling, with only 60 hours between the two matches after a high-intensity game.
He emphasized that this situation would likely occur more frequently throughout the season, requiring the team to adapt to the demanding schedule. Liverpool's inability to generate offensive opportunities was a significant factor in their disappointing draw against Fulham. Iraola's first four Premier League games have ended in draws, and the manager remains unbeaten since taking charge.
The team struggled to create chances and score goals, highlighting a lack of offensive prowess during the match.
