Liverpool didn't do Andoni Iraola any favours at the start of his time in charge. He's got a new weapon, though, and that changes everything.
We're not sure it was a good idea to give Andoni Iraola zero natural right-wingers to start his Liverpool career. That's the job at hand, though, as the Reds let Mohamed Salah leave the club but never actually signed anyone to fill his role.
And filling that role didn't necessarily mean 'focal point of the attack'. Liverpool have other players for that. It just meant signing someone who could naturally play on the right wing, given it's very much still a role that the team calls for.
