National media react to Liverpool defeat to Fenerbahce and ‘sudden cause for concern’

National media outlets reacted critically to Liverpool's 3-2 Champions League defeat against Fenerbahce in Istanbul. Managed by former Liverpool player Dirk Kuyt, Fenerbahce twice came from behind with goals from Mason Greenwood, Archie Brown, and a late winner from Vedat Muriqi. Trey Nyoni and substitute Alexander Isak scored for Liverpool under head coach Andoni Iraola.

Journalists highlighted Liverpool's defensive lapses from set pieces as well as tactical struggles in attack. The Guardian noted sudden defensive concerns after uncharacteristic errors, while The Mirror questioned Iraola's decision to deploy Bradley Barcola as a central striker. The Liverpool Echo described the collapse as alarming despite the wider Champions League qualification context.
