From the source

Liverpool supporters are yet to be completely convinced that Andoni Iraola is capable of turning their club back in the right direction with the current group of players.

The Reds have made some positive strides under the Basque coach since his arrival in the summer, but there have been a few too many backwards steps as well, with the latest coming via back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Fenerbahce.

Wednesday’s loss in Istanbul shone a particular light on Alisson Becker. The goalkeeper has faced some criticism for the way he dealt with Fenerbahce’s final, match-winning goal in particular, and according to Liverpool legend Steve Nicol, it may not be long before Iraola decides to give Giorgi Mamardashvili a run in the team instead.
