  "account": "Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has commented on his team's tendency to be \"sometimes too honest a group\" in light of recent foul statistics. The Liverpool team has conceded the most fouls in the Premier League this season with 128, while winning the fewest (88). Alexander Isak missed a penalty against Arsenal due to shirt pulling, and the Reds lost their last two matches to Arsenal and Fenerbahce. Iraola acknowledged the team's honest behavior but questioned whether it was beneficial. Despite conceding only nine goals in nine Premier League games, the team has conceded 10 goals in four Champions League matches. Iraola emphasized the need to control games, conceding that sometimes too much control can be detrimental. Ryan Gravenberch's availability for the upcoming match against Crystal Palace is uncertain due to a heel injury.",
