Iraola Has '100% Trust' in Wirtz and Barcola
Liverpool spent about £220 million on the pair and are still waiting for goals as Iraola says both forwards will deliver.
- Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola expressed "100% trust" in forwards Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola ahead of Wednesday's Champions League match against LASK, despite both players' slow starts to the season.
- The duo, signed for around £220 million, have faced intense scrutiny following Sunday's 3-0 defeat by Manchester City at Anfield, with both yet to score this season.
- Pressure intensified as Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai remain sidelined; the injured trio has accounted for eight of Liverpool's 11 goals this season.
- Iraola defended his players, emphasizing collective contributions over individual statistics and noting that Barcola's display would be viewed differently had teammates finished created chances.
- Though the injured trio remain unavailable for Brentford, Villarreal, or Brighton, Iraola confirmed they are "not far" from returning, with the club managing a demanding fixture schedule.
