Andoni Iraola defends Liverpool team selections but admits 'we have been a lot weaker'

Andoni Iraola has defended his rotation policy for the Champions League, insisting his Liverpool squad will feel the benefit over the course of the season. Iraola made five changes from the team that was narrowly beaten 1-0 by Arsenal in the Premier League last week as the Reds lost 3-2 to Fenerbahce in Turkey on Wednesday evening. Bradley Barcola struggled in an unfamiliar centre-forward role and deputy left-back Kostas Tsimikas found it difficult against former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood.
