Alexander Isak was denied a penalty against Arsenal (Getty)“We are quite an honest group, sometimes too honest,” he said. We are willing, we want to press, we want to be intense – but the balance is that there’s a big difference.”Liverpool sit fifth in the Premier League, nine points off first-placed Arsenal after their defeat to the Gunners and while they have only conceded nine goals in nine league games, they have already conceded 10 goals in four Champions League matches.“It’s been a strange season,” Iraola added.

In the Premier League, we are scoring less and conceding less. Sometimes against Fenerbahce, we’re controlling too much, having good positions and arriving but sometimes we have to throw numbers in the box.

Especially against Arsenal… the way we attack the box has to be better.” Iraola confirmed that Ryan Gravenberch is touch and go to be ready for Selhurst Park as he continues to manage pain in his heel. We have to react after two defeats: we need the win against Palace away.”
