Iraola backs Barcola, Wirtz to come good for Liverpool
Florian Wirtz has scored just seven goals in 56 appearances for Liverpool, while Bradley Barcola has yet to register a goal or assist in his first six games for the club.
Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola has expressed confidence in new signings Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola despite their underwhelming starts at Anfield. Wirtz, who joined the Reds last year in a deal potentially worth £116 million ($153 million), has scored seven times in 56 appearances for Liverpool. Meanwhile, Barcola, who made a £123 million (US$163 million) move from Paris Saint-Germain six games ago, has yet to score or assist for his new club.
Iraola, speaking ahead of Liverpool's Champions League match against LASK, believes the players will deliver strong performances, asserting that he trusts them 100 percent. He also highlighted that Barcola's performance in a recent match could have been viewed differently had Lewis Koumas converted a promising chance. The manager noted that the team faces additional scrutiny due to the absence of injured players Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai. Liverpool next face Brentford, Villarreal, and Brighton in upcoming fixtures.
