Liverpool signing calls Premier League ‘less tactical’ after 0 goals in 5

Liverpool winger Bradley Barcola described the Premier League as "less tactical" than France's Ligue 1 after failing to score in his opening five league appearances. Following his high-profile transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, Barcola explained that his slow start is tied to adapting to a new style of play that features fewer tactical adjustments compared to working under former manager Luis Enrique.

Liverpool signed Barcola for a guaranteed initial fee of £106m that could rise to £123m with add-ons. Although he provided an assist for Alexander Isak against Saturday's opponents and scored in the Champions League against LASK, the winger has yet to score a Premier League goal under Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola.
