Andoni Iraola insists that he is happy with the composition of his camp in his new post.
·‘I'm very happy with all the signings’
The Liverpool head coach comes into a dressing room that was shaken by dropping from pole position to fifth place under Arne Slot, struggling to qualify for Champions League football.
Successive stalemates in his first two Premier League fixtures seem to have shown the work to do with the balance of the squad, but the Basque believes that his players will pitch in to plug any holes.
Iraola backs his new signings
“I'm very happy with all the signings we've made. I think [we made] three or four signings with Jeremy Jacquet and I'm happy with all the signings. I know the next question, you wanted more signings in all positions? At the end, the club has decided those signings we've done are the ones that improved our team, improved our position and there were other options we decided not to take.
“For different reasons, sometimes it's sporting reasons because they don't improve what you have, sometimes it is because of economical reasons and it didn't make sense in terms of the market to do those movements. But I'm happy now that I know what we have, I have a lot of quality in the team and now is the moment for us, for the players, for me to develop what we have.
No unhappy players in the dressing room
“I haven't found any situations where any player has told me, 'I don't want to play here.' I think everyone has shown the right attitude. I more or less know the preferred position of everyone. Sometimes it's the same I think from them, sometimes I say, 'OK, I see you maybe more here' and we have discussions, but everyone is ready to help.”
