Crystal Palace win shows Liverpool what’s working and what isn’t after 10 league games of Iraola

Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, moving into fourth place after 10 Premier League matches under head coach Andoni Iraola. Alexis Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak scored for Liverpool before Eddie Nketiah converted a late penalty for Palace. Despite the win, writer Morgan King analyzes several tactical areas across Liverpool's defense, midfield, and attack that still require refinement.

Morgan King notes that while Liverpool showed defensive resilience and capitalized on set pieces, Palace generated significant threat down Liverpool's right flank. The writer also highlights Iraola's midfield dilemma between Dominik Szoboszlai's elite set-piece delivery and Trey Nyoni's structural discipline, while emphasizing an over-reliance on Isak's clinical finishing amid limited open-play chance creation.
