TACTICAL ANALYSIS: Familiar concerns reared their heads again for Liverpool in Turkiye as the Reds conceded three preventable goals…

Liverpool suffered a defeat against Fenerbahce after conceding three goals from set pieces, highlighting recurring defensive problems under manager Andoni Iraola. Despite rotating his lineup and taking the lead twice through a Trey Nyoni deflection and an Alexander Isak header, Liverpool failed to hold their advantage as the Turkish hosts fought back.
The Liverpool Echo's Morgan King argues that Liverpool suffered from complacency, vulnerable pressing traps on their right flank, and an ineffective experiment playing Bradley Barcola as a central striker. King notes that teenagers Rio Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni emerged as the rare bright spots for the squad.
