Liverpool oo 4-2 uga badisay Leeds, Iraola oo qaybta labaad ka walaacsan
Kooxda Liverpool ayaa 4-2 ku badisay Leeds ciyaar ay ku soo gaba gabeeyeen safarkoodii Maraykanka. In kasta oo qaybtii hore ay ahayd mid fiican tan iyo markii Andoni Iraola la magacaabay, waxay qaybtii dambe u oggolaadeen afar gool 25 daqiiqo gudahood.
Soo laabashada Isak iyo Wirtz iyo gooladii hore
Alexander Isak iyo Florian Wirtz ayaa ciyaartaas ku soo laabtay Liverpool. Qaybtii hore, Luke Chambers ayaa gool dhaliyay daqiiqadii 7aad ka dib markii Milos Kerkez uu taabtay goorta Dominik Szoboszlai.
Florian Wirtz ayaa gool dhaliyay daqiiqadii 40aad, iyadoo goorku uu ku lug lahaa Jeremie Frimpong iyo Isak. Isak iyo Wirtz waxay ka mid ahaayeen kooxdii bilowday ee ku kacday £225m xagaagii hore.
Hadalka Szoboszlai iyo walaaca Iraola
Dominik Szoboszlai wuxuu yidhi: 'We conceded two goals from set-pieces. We have to fix that and make sure we deal with them better.'. Tani waxay muujinaysaa dhibaatooyinka gooraha ee Liverpool qaybtii dambe.
Andoni Iraola wuxuu xusay: 'I particularly hate this month of August because you start the competitions and you still don't know if some of the players are going to leave and who's going to come - there is a lot of uncertainty.'. Wuxuu la kulmi doonaa van Dijk, Gakpo, Alisson iyo Munoz maalmaha soo socda.
Mac Allister, Munoz iyo mustaqbalka Nyoni
Alexis Mac Allister waa la siiyay fasax dheeraad ah ka dib markii Argentina ay gaartay finalkii Koobka Adduunka. Victor Munoz, oo aan daqiiqadna ciyaarin ololihii Spain, ayaa hore u soo laabanaya si uu u caawiyo is-dhexgalka.
Trey Nyoni ayaa lala xiriiriyay amaahin xagaagii, laakiin laga filayaa inuu sii joogo oo uu helo daqiiqado badan. Wuxuu ciyaaray 229 daqiiqo kaliya xilli ciyaareedkii 2025-26.
Liverpool's United States tour ended in a 4-2 defeat to Leeds, with the Red's second-half performance exposing alarming squad fragility just as the new season approaches.
A First Half of Promise, Then a Rapid Collapse
Liverpool produced arguably their best half since Andoni Iraola took charge, but the second half was categorically their worst as they conceded four times without reply inside 25 minutes. Iraola made a raft of changes at the break, but that is no excuse for the way they capitulated against Daniel Farke's side.
The intensity Iraola demands on the training pitch was evident in the first half but seemed non-existent after the break. Senior figures like Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa did not cover themselves in glory, and the team's lack of physicality was alarmingly exposed.
Set-Piece Failures and the Return of Key Stars
Dominik Szoboszlai said: 'We conceded two goals from set-pieces. We have to fix that and make sure we deal with them better.' The early breakthrough came from Luke Chambers, who scored in the seventh minute after Milos Kerkez got a touch on Szoboszlai's corner.
Florian Wirtz scored in the 40th minute with a goal involving Jeremie Frimpong and Isak. Liverpool's starting 11 included Isak and Wirtz, who cost a combined £225m last summer, giving the teamsheet the star quality befitting the host city of Chicago.
Iraola Faces Uncertainty as Squad Decisions Loom
Iraola will meet Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, Alisson Becker and new signing Victor Munoz over the coming days at the AXA Training Centre. He particularly hates this month of August because you start the competitions and you still don't know if some of the players are going to leave and who's going to come - there is a lot of uncertainty.
Alexis Mac Allister has been granted extra time off following Argentina's run to the World Cup final, and Trey Nyoni, who only played 229 minutes in 2025-26, has been linked with a loan move but is expected to stay and get more minutes for Liverpool this season.
