Some of the work from MNF today with @Carra23 Highlighting Liverpool’s issues 🚫🔴 #MNF#LFC
- Not compact & poor pressing ⬆️
- No intent in the Press & Recovering ❌
- Attackers not tracking back 🔙
- Opposition getting too much time & space on the ball ⏰
WHY Iraola Means Heavy Metal Football Is Back on Liverpool’s Menu…
After a season under Arne Slot where Liverpool often looked slower, more predictable and lacked dynamism in forward areas, Andoni Iraola could bring back the intensity that made Anfield one of the most feared stadiums in Europe.
Iraola’s teams are built on aggressive pressing, vertical attacks and creating chaos in wide areas. Players like Antoine Semenyo, Kroupi thrived because they were encouraged to attack defenders, shoot early and constantly force the issue rather than recycle possession.
That could mean huge changes for Liverpool’s squad.
Can Alexis Mac Allister cope with the amount of ground midfielders are expected to cover? And does Liverpool’s ageing defence have the pace to defend the huge spaces left behind?
If Liverpool back Iraola in the transfer market with explosive wide forwards, heavy metal football could truly return to Anfield.
Liverpool fans, are you ready for chaos again? 👀🔴 also do you want to see a No BS deep dive on YouTube?

@olliefoxy Yh I really think a versatile option is huge. Even someone that can do a job up top as Ekitike is out till Jan 2027 and Isak is injury prone…
I’d love Kroupi Jr but he won’t be cheap…
Rio Ngumoha really is special ✨💫
Super electric every time he plays. Not scared to take on a man and make a moment.
Has nearly as many Player of the Match awards as appearances ✨
Has to start for Liverpool next season 👀
@olliefoxy If he was at Barca he’d be starting all season. If he’s good enough to play why not.
I know we have to protect him & be carful but he’s too talented to ignore and not start…
🏴 Rio Ngumoha completed the most dribbles (3) and won the most duels (6) on his England debut tonight.
- 92% passes completed (24/26)
- 2 tackles won
- 40 touches in 45 minutes
Looked very lively while playing on the right-wing 👀
Rio Ngumoha is not for sale, nor have Liverpool received any approach from Bayern or other clubs.
Ngumoha is on a long-term contract, established in the first team, and the aim this summer is for #LFC to add not diminish in wide areas.🔴
🚨 EXCL: Bayern Munich exploring move to sign Rio Ngumoha. 17yo Liverpool winger primary #FCBayern target for left side & aware of pursuit. No contact yet between clubs. #LFC insist not for sale + plan to strengthen attack rather than weaken @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/mYbWdds6Ip
Realistically, if we get Yan Diomande, Barcola seems too much.
With Rio, Isak, Wirtz and Ekitike back in 2027,
I think a versatile, pacey, Premier League-proven option who’s played under Iroala would be better value.
Kroupi Jr can be that man ‼️
Armin Pecsi, Will Wright, Ifeanyi Ndukwe, Mor Talla Ndiaye, Samuel Martinez, Dara Jikiemi and now Darren Motsi and potentially Kennet Eichorn.
With Daniel Banjaqui and Diego Pelembe also being looked at 👀
Liverpool's recruitment team are cooking something special 🧑🍳
When you get the chance to sign a 19 year old winger whose peers in terms of threat generated from both passes and carries are Lamine Yamal and the reigning Ballon d'Or winner, it makes sense to pursue that opportunity.
