What happened. Liverpool surrendered a two-goal lead against Monaco, their second such collapse in a row under Andoni Iraola.

• Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak scored in the match.
• Iraola admitted players may only sustain his style for 30 minutes.
• Liverpool had among the fewest pressures last season.

“We played well in the first half, especially the first 30 minutes, but right now probably we don't have much more in terms of the level required to play like this.”

— Andoni Iraola

With the season opener at Newcastle less than two weeks away, fitness is a pressing concern.
