Plenty of Liverpool players will be seeing some changes over the summer and the coming months, with Andoni Iraola's arrival bringing about a few switches both on and off the pitch.Andoni Iraola is bringing about plenty of changes at Liverpool(Image: (Photo by Andrew J. The arrival of Andoni Iraola as head coach means there have been some key changes for the roster across plenty of different departments.The main change comes with the style of play.

During Liverpool's pre-season tour of America, the head coach has got his players doing double training sessions in an attempt to get them conditioned for the new campaign.Iraola follows a school of thought that if training is more intense than a match, then doing it on the pitch in the league or cup competitions should be easier.Players have certainly felt the impact of the double training sessions, which, coupled with the intense heat, have left many out on their feet come the end of the day.Milos Kerkez, who has previously worked with Iraola at Bournemouth, outlined the impact of those sessions and the physical changes that players need to meet the requirements of the manager.Speaking to the media, via the Liverpool Echo, he said: "If you see the footage of how we all are after training, all lying down, then you can see what he is preparing us for.“You definitely need legs and good condition for what he wants us to do, but we will be alright.

How much you have to run depends on what he decides in that moment, but there is always running for the team that loses.“I like to run a lot. That’s why I can keep on running.”For Kerkez, it's a transition that may be a lot easier, considering his own style of play and his previous experience playing for Iraola at Bournemouth.For others, there are clear questions surrounding how well they can adapt to the new-look Liverpool that Iraola will be attempting to roll out from minute one against Newcastle.Then there's the potential adaptation from Iraola too, with questions about how he may handle the role, its pressures, and having to play multiple times in a week - all of which will be answered in the coming month.
