  "account": "Andoni Iraola, Liverpool's new manager, remains without a Premier League win despite his side's recent 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest. Iraola, who took over this summer, aimed to revive a team that had struggled after their failed title defense last season. The Spaniard believes the foundations of his new-look side are beginning to take shape, as Liverpool showed improved intensity and pace in the second half of the match. However, the team's tendency to start slowly, especially without possession, remains a concern for Iraola. Despite the winless start, Liverpool fans are not panicking, as Iraola has assured them that the tactical shift would take time. The club has also secured the signing of France winger Bradley Barcola from Paris St Germain, seen as a good fit for Iraola's high-octane system.",
