Liverpool could be about to get three big boosts before a huge summer for Andoni Iraola, with the World Cup offering the chance for some Reds stars to rediscover some formLiverpool head coach Andoni Iraola.(Image: Andrew Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)Andoni Iraola's primary job next season will be to get more out of a group of players who underperformed individually and collectively in the campaign just gone.Only Dominik Szoboszlai, you could argue, maintained his level from the title-winning season. Injuries didn't help and the Reds' squad will need to be strengthened — that will be the job of sporting director Richard Hughes more than Iraola — but there is a clear need to get more from the same resources when the next season gets underway."For me, we are a lot of things as a manager, but especially we are here to help the players," Iraola said when he was unveiled as the new Liverpool head coach last week."We have to provide, I always say, like a collective platform so everyone can do their job properly and we can find the best roles for every player."Indeed, there are three Liverpool players who perhaps have the greatest scope to improve and make the biggest difference.

The Swede basically had to write last season off, however, and his lengthy spells of absence were punctuated only by periods in which he wasn't match fit.Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz of Liverpool during the Premier League win against Crystal Palace at Anfield on April 25 2026(Image: Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)Isak looks sharper now, and that process will continue while he is with his national team, with the hope being that he can rediscover his form over the next couple of months.If the 26-year-old does that, he will score plenty of goals next term. Given he played so little in his first 12 months, the impact he can have if he stays fit and provides the performances we know he is capable of is likely to be more impactful than any new signing.Germany superstar Florian Wirtz settled into life at Liverpool much better than Isak did, but he is another who could do with having a strong World Cup.If Julian Nagelsmann's side is to go far in the US, Canada and Mexico, Wirtz will be at the center of that.

At 22, he is his country's talisman, as a result of the enormous talent that he has.Get LFC's 2025/26 season home and away kitsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
