How Liverpool’s win over Brentford proved Andoni Iraola is bringing Reds out of their Arne Slot funk
Story updated
The story in brief
37-second readLiverpool have perhaps not received enough credit for coming from behind to beat Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday. Yes, the Bees were down to 10 men for the second-half and were later reduced to nine, but the Reds still had to overturn a one-goal deficit, something they have not been known to do over recent times.
Under Arne Slot, Liverpool only came back from a losing position to win or draw four matches in 2025/26. Fascinatingly, they have now done so in the same number of games already under Andoni Iraola this time around.
The fight has returned, and according to fans debating the match on TalkingPoints, that is a very good sign indeed for Liverpool. When Liverpool fell behind under Slot last season, it was virtually a given that they would lose.
