I would love from my side, from the players’ side, so all those people, [to] identify also with the football, identify with the values of the squad and we are all in for this.” Now, speaking to Football Insider, Wyness claimed that Iraola may not have been the target all along for the likes of Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes at Liverpool, coming in as a late choice instead: “They decided late in the season on the Slot issue that they were going to have to make a move; they’re now finding themselves picking Iraola because he’s available. I’m not entirely convinced that Iraola is the one that they’ve been hunting all season.

“Iraola is available, and it’s been done quickly, but as I say that brings up a question mark in my mind as to whether he really was the one that they really wanted.” Have Liverpool made the right choice in Andoni Iraola? Regardless of how long Liverpool have been interested in Iraola, he came across superbly on Thursday and looks like an ideal fit for the Reds.
