Although Alexander Isak had been in good form before his injury and Florian Wirtz has had flashes here and there, Barcola’s treble felt like the first truly big moment from any of the trio since Isak and Wirtz joined last year.Wirtz has taken most of the heat given Isak’s injury troubles, but Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has now declared that the Swede’s ‘fragile’ fitness record, along with that of Hugo Ekitike, is a reason for Reds fans to be concerned moving forward.How are you feeling about this match? Souness is a big fan of Iraola’s ‘common sense’ Though he has concerns over some of the playing staff, Souness says that he is a big fan of Andoni Iraola, who he has praised for speaking common sense, something he claims is rare to find in his peers these days.

“I like him, so I’m hoping so [that Liverpool can get back to their best], because he seems to be a good guy. I just feel when I look at Liverpool that maybe the midfield is not as good at doing the hard yards – the hard yards in football are when you don’t have the ball – and it makes the back four vulnerable.

If there’s five of you doing it, five have to do it. If four do it and one of you goes to sleep, you’ll be vulnerable.” How Iraola could do with his very own Souness, who was neither fragile, and who certainly knew how to put in the ‘hard yards.’ In the meantime, these are certainly valid concerns from one of Liverpool’s all-time great players.
