From the source

Liverpool supporters watched what was arguably the worst performance of the Andoni Iraola era so far as they succumbed to a desperately disappointing defeat against Fenerbahce in Istanbul.

Iraola understandably rotated for the fourth Champions League match of the campaign, notably dropping Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz to the bench. In their places the Spaniard brought Bradley Barcola and Dominik Szoboszlai, with the former playing centrally as a No.

9 and the latter slotting into Wirtz’s role as a No. 10 – on paper at least. Neither played at all well, however, and fans will hope that Iraola uses better options in the future.
