EPL: Iraola admits Liverpool lacked freshness in Fulham draw

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has admitted his side lacked freshness, creativity and attacking quality in Saturday’s goalless draw with Fulham at Anfield. The Reds struggled to create clear chances against a Fulham side that had lost their opening three Premier League matches, leaving Iraola still without a home league victory since taking charge. “I think what was lacking, I think it was quite clear,” Iraola said after the match. “I think it’s the first game since I’m here, I think we’ve had problems to create chances, to score goals, to make the difference offensively.” Iraola acknowledged that Liverpool’s attacking shortcomings were the main reason they failed to take all three points, despite remaining unbeaten under the Spaniard this season. “That’s the main reason. We couldn’t create as many chances as we wanted and we haven’t scored a goal. And that’s why we go just with one point,” he said.
