Iraola says Liverpool have work to do as familiar frailties in defence prove costly

Liverpool's head coach Andoni Iraola expressed his frustration following a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Monaco at Anfield, after his team squandered a two-goal lead. This marked their second consecutive loss in pre-season friendlies, raising concerns about defensive frailties that have resurfaced. Iraola, who last managed at Anfield with Bournemouth nearly a year ago, witnessed a familiar pattern as his side, despite a promising start, failed to maintain their advantage. The defeat highlighted the need for improvement as the season approaches, with Iraola emphasizing that there is 'work to do' ahead of their campaign.
