Champions League analysts Stephen Warnock and Guillem Balague have highlighted defensive vulnerabilities and tactical experimentation as signs that Andoni Iraola's Liverpool side are still searching for their identity after a 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce.
The pair discussed the match on BBC's Match of the Day, pointing to Liverpool's defensive frailties and the decision to deploy Bradley Barcola in a forward role as evidence of a team in transition.
Warnock and Balague suggested that the loss in Istanbul underscores the work still required for Iraola to implement his vision, with the team appearing uncertain in both defensive structure and attacking patterns.
