Liverpool are going through a tricky period at the moment, but that could all be saved by dipping into the free agent market.
The Reds currently sit in seventh position in the Premier League table, having picked up just one win from their opening four games.
The only victory came against Ipswich Town, even giving Fulham their first point of the season at the weekend.
A number of their players have come under heavy criticism in recent weeks, and there's no doubt it was a disappointing summer transfer window in terms of strengthening various positions.
Liverpool spent a large portion of their budget on signing Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain, but you could argue they needed reinforcements in other areas.
If Liverpool are going to break the top four this season, there's no doubt they drastically need to improve, particularly in one area of the pitch.
Milos Kerkez is one player who has received a host of criticism this season, leading to him being dropped to the bench for Liverpool's game against Fulham at the weekend.
Iraola opted to hand a start to Kostas Tsimikas, who seemingly had no future at Liverpool last season. The fact that Kerkez was dropped despite Tsimikas being the only option speaks volumes.
Signing a left-back should have been one of Liverpool's priorities in the summer transfer window, but it's still not too late for them to strengthen in that position.
One player who remains available on the free transfer list is former Bayern Munich left-back Raphael Guerreiro.
At the age of 32, the Portuguese defender still has life left in his legs, having played 18 times in the Bundesliga last season.
It's quite a surprise that Guerreiro has yet to find a club this summer, and you could even argue that he would come in and instantly be a starter.

There's no doubt Guerreiro could easily come into the Liverpool side and become an instant starter for the Reds.
Kerkez's form simply hasn't been good enough for a side chasing Champions League football, and Guerreiro is a born winner, given the time he spent at Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
