We cannot hide it."I think it's the worst turnaround in terms of 60-something hours between the games, after a very big game (against Atletico Madrid) the other day.
We have to adapt to these circumstances."It's this kind of game that you need to win, sometimes with a set play, sometimes with a shot from the edge, sometimes from a moment of brilliance from the offensive players and we haven't had that today."We've been clearly not as good offensively as we've been in other days."Barcola makes full PL debut from left Bradley Barcloa made his full Premier League debut in the game and was deployed from the left in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Victor Munoz starting the game on the right.Explaining his thinking, Iraola said: "I think I said it a lot of times. I think we have four wingers.
Depending on the match-up, depending on where we think they are going to be more dangerous, depending on the defensive demand, depending on what we feel, what we analyse, we position them in the right or in the left."But I think Bradley, I think everyone. The four of them already have played both sides and it's going to be a whole season like this because of the wingers, with a lot of times the same preferences."
