  "account": "Andoni Iraola, Liverpool's head coach, insists that the goals conceded against Newcastle United were not due to personnel issues. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Dominik Szoboszlai scoring a stoppage-time penalty for Liverpool. Iraola acknowledged that his team lacked decisiveness in front of goal in the first half, but praised their pressure and transition play. He highlighted that Liverpool's attack showed more conviction after halftime, with Cody Gakpo and Joe Willock scoring goals. The coach also commended Alexander Isak's performance and the impact of Victor Munoz from the bench. However, Iraola admitted that defensively, Liverpool struggled to hold onto the ball and convert opportunities in transition, leading to the two goals conceded.",
