3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce in the Champions League on Wednesday. Andoni Iraola overhauled his attack for the game in Istanbul with a reshuffle which saw Bradley Barcola deployed in an unfamiliar centre-forward role as Alexander Isak began on the substitutes’ bench.

The Swedish marksman came on as part of a triple change in the 66th minute and scored with his first touch, but that goal would ultimately count for nothing as the home side struck twice more to secure victory.

Barcola stayed on the pitch for the full 90 minutes at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, but his performance came in for criticism from Liverpool Echo reporter Paul Gorst.
