  "account": "Andoni Iraola, Liverpool's manager, revealed that his team is sometimes too honest, despite being at the top of the Premier League for fouls conceded. The Reds have conceded 128 fouls this season, more than any other side. Iraola admitted that his players are not trying to con officials, but their conduct has earned praise from referees. The Liverpool boss also mentioned that the team is on a strange season, with good performances in the Champions League and poor results in the Premier League. Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is a doubt for the upcoming trip to Crystal Palace due to a heel problem.",
  "summary": "Andoni Iraola has admitted Liverpool are \"sometimes too honest\" after a striking statistic showed no Premier League side have conceded more fouls this season. The Reds head to Crystal Palace on Sunday on the back of two straight defeats to Arsenal and Fenerbahce, and their manager wants a response, with Ryan Gravenberch still a doubt because of a heel problem.",
