๐ Key points
๐ฃ๏ธ Iraola said Liverpool are quite an honest group.
๐ 58% of fouls in Liverpool's games have been against them, the highest in the top flight.
๐ฉ No penalty was given when Timber pulled back Isak against Arsenal.
๐ Fenerbahce defeat made it Iraola's first back-to-back losses.
๐ What happened
โฝ Liverpool lost 1-0 to Arsenal at Anfield last weekend. Isak was pulled back by Timber inside the box, but no penalty was given.
๐๏ธ Iraola said the referee praised the players' behaviour after the match and he was unsure how he felt about that. Complaints must be genuine, he said: you cannot fake things.
