Both players have badly been in need of a turnaround, and Reds fans will hope that they carry that confidence back to the domestic calendar.In the meantime, Andoni Iraola has reportedly been running the rule over some of Liverpool‘s young players while his senior stars are away. Florian Wirtz scored and won Man of the Match during Germany’s victory over Serbia, what do Liverpool need to do to get him playing like that? 😳 He always looks a totally different player… Wirtz Iraola will have some new youngsters to turn toOne of the features of Iraola’s early tenure at Liverpool has been his willingness to put young or fringe players in for a chance in the first-team.Lewis Koumas has been the main beneficiary of this so far, but Trey Nyoni has also been trusted more by the new head coach, while James McConnell was excellent during his start in the Carabao Cup against Tottenham as well.Iraola will clearly look to use young players if he thinks they are good enough, and with an extended, three-week break to get a closer look at some of them this September and October, there will surely have been a handful who have caught his eye.Once they get going again with a hotly anticipated clash against Manchester City on October 11th, Liverpool then have eight further matches in the following 28 days as they contend with three different competitions.

Isak’s injury could lead to a vacancy up front, and both players – Wright in particular – will be eyeing a senior debut.Hungarian brothers Erik and Patrik Farkas, the latter recently returned from Blackburn Rovers, are two more highly-rated youngsters who may have been in Iraola’s thinking as well. So too might Haydn Murray-Holmes, who recently signed a new contract with the Reds.Full-back has been an area in need of improvement recently, and in left-back Clae Ewing and right-back DJ Esdaille they have two players who could offer an option.At centre-back Prince Cisse has been catching the eye, with Wellity Lucky another likely to have been working under Iraola.There is no guarantee that the Liverpool head coach turns to any of these players, but he has now had an extensive period to gauge where their levels are, and if injuries and unavailability bite over the coming month, he will know just how much he can rely on them.
