**[Andoni Iraola](/en/data/andoni-iraola/)** is sympathetic to his new big money signing after **Liverpool** won 2-0 on Friday night.
An **Alexander Isak** brace gave the _Reds_ a buffer at **Portman Road** as **Ipswich Town** worked their way back into the game, and the Liverpool head coach felt that he could put on **[Bradley Barcola](/en/data/bradley-barcola/)**.
·**‘30 minutes is going to be good for his fitness’**
-----------------------------------------------------
It was the first time that the French forward featured for his new side after signing for a fee of **£106 million** that could rise up to **£123 million** with add-ons.
His explosiveness and movement on the flanks showed in glimpses, but the Basque boss knows more sharpness will see him shine more.
_“Bradley hadn't played a minute since the_ **_World Cup_** _so we needed to be careful. He is training well, in a good place, and I think that he has helped us. Probably, we haven't found him in a couple of situations where I think he was going against the 'keeper, but we haven't really seen his movements._
_“And also, he has had a very good counter, very good passing side that I think Cody finished, but we didn't score. But he was always a threat, you know? When he carries the ball, I think you can feel this threat and I'm happy because I think 30 minutes is going to be good for his fitness, for his build-up, and we will continue because now we play a lot of games, so he will have a chance to play more._
·**No special build-up needed**
-------------------------------
_“He hasn't played any pre-season minutes. I think he's still in a good place. I don't think he will need something like a very special build-up, but we have to be aware that he hasn't been playing in a while and the demands of the games are very different from training, so we have got to consider this.”_
