Iraola: We could not communicate in the stadium because of the noise

In the UEFA Champions League matchday 4, Liverpool lost 3-2 to Fenerbahçe in Istanbul. Speaking after the match, Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola criticized the goals they conceded.

Iraola said that although they took the lead twice, they were not good enough defensively afterwards. Describing playing at Kadıköy as a difficult atmosphere, the coach said that they did not set up their defensive block well for the first goal, especially when the score was 1-1. He stressed that they needed to have better control over the goals.

Answering a question about rotation in attack, Iraola said they made many changes during a busy match week and that the rotation had worked well. He said that this was not the main reason for their defeat and that the real problem was the goals they conceded.

Iraola explained that because there was so much noise in the stadium, they could not communicate and had difficulty giving instructions. He said they experienced problems caused by the lack of communication.
