From the source

Liverpool’s 1-0 home loss to Arsenal leaves them nine points off the Premier League pace, and for a head coach who arrived with a strong reputation, the scrutiny is starting to sharpen.

One win from four league games at Anfield is not acceptable by the club’s own standards, and losing to both Manchester City and Arsenal at home in the same run of matches only adds to the unease.

Results shape perception, and the mood around Andoni Iraola is shifting as a consequence. Much of the post match debate centred on one decision. With Liverpool dominating midfield for long spells, Iraola withdrew Trey Nyoni and brought on Dominik Szoboszlai, a swap that changed the balance of the game almost immediately.
