Liverpool lost 3–2 away to Fenerbahce in the Champions League during Andoni Iraola’s 15th game as manager. The defeat in Istanbul was Iraola’s first consecutive losing run since he joined Liverpool.
Iraola’s Liverpool results
Iraola’s Liverpool have eight wins, four draws and three defeats through 15 games, scoring 29 goals. Two of the three defeats under Iraola have come against Arsenal and Manchester City.
Iraola addresses the situation
“It’s not easy in the moment because we react the same way,” Iraola, the Spanish boss, told reporters on Friday.
He added: “We would love to have good performances, wins, good results, but normally it doesn’t happen. There are moments when you are in a good run like we were before Arsenal, now you lose two games and there are always doubts. But I understand, as a supporter I would do the same, it’s normal.”
The manager backs the work
“But ... we work every day, and we know what we are doing. We are not as bad as we look today, we are not as good as we looked one week ago, and we have to have some perspective,” Iraola told reporters on Friday.
“We are still doing good things,” he said.
Crystal Palace next
Liverpool play away at Crystal Palace on Sunday in their final match before the November international break.
