Liverpool's attacking performance under new coach Andoni Iraola is under scrutiny, despite a recent 6-3 victory over LASK. While the team has shown defensive improvements, securing three clean sheets in the Premier League, their offensive output remains a concern. The Reds have scored only seven goals in six league games, placing them behind twelve other teams. Their expected goals (xG) tally of 9.3 and shots on target per 90 count of five are only ninth and eighth best, respectively. This attacking inefficiency is highlighted by their creation of only nine big chances, the fewest in the league, compared to Brighton's 27. These issues predate Iraola's arrival, tracing back to the latter half of Arne Slot's tenure after Mohamed Salah's peak individual season. Iraola's primary task is now to integrate new personnel and restore the free-flowing, attacking football previously seen under Jurgen Klopp.
