Andoni Iraola urges Liverpool to take risks: “Our chance quality is low”

Andoni Iraola has called on Liverpool to take more risks in the final third, urging his players to commit greater numbers into the penalty box. He conceded that his squad is generating low-quality chances in the Premier League, where Liverpool have created only 12 big chances and rank 10th for expected goals despite recently spending over £400 million in the transfer window.

While recognizing that pushing more players forward sacrifices some control and exposes the team defensively, Iraola argued the reward outweighs the risk. He highlighted the need for more offensive threat after pointing out contrasting form across competitions, noting Liverpool have scored freely in the Champions League while finding goals harder to come by domestically ahead of their match against Crystal Palace.
