Andoni Iraola: unbeaten start at Liverpool, tested vs Man City
Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday (4:30) after Iraola’s unbeaten start and bold squad calls.
Andoni Iraola’s start at Liverpool has been unbeaten, and Sky Sports is already putting his decisions under the microscope ahead of a major test at Anfield on Sunday versus Manchester City. The big question: whether he can get the “lift-off” in a clash that could define the tone of his reign.
Big calls so far
On the Sky Sports Premier League Podcast, Peter Smith is joined by Vinny O’Connor and Mark McAdam, with writer Dan Morgan assessing the standout tactical ideas. They highlight how Iraola has been willing to make big selections, including leaving out Jeremie Frimpong while bringing in Ronald Araujo at right-back—aiming for greater stability.
Trust in youth
They also point to Iraola leaving Ryan Gravenberch out, and then using youngsters such as Lewis Koumas as a more advanced option, alongside the introduction of Trey Nyoni.
Liverpool vs Manchester City kicks off Sunday at 4:30 pm, live on Sky Sports.
