Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth's manager, spoke openly ahead of tonight's English Premier League match against Liverpool.
On 24 Jan 2025, Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth's manager, stated his goal is to secure a home victory over the "Reds" Liverpool in tonight's Premier League match. He noted that his team has lost to Liverpool several times and wants to earn points back, even though he knows it will be challenging.
Iraola said, “I think Liverpool is the only club from which we have never earned any points. It has been two and a half seasons now, so I want to reclaim those points, but I know it won't be easy.”
Regarding squad reinforcements, he said, “Alex Toth is the only new player we signed this weekend, but of course, the club is working on it. They know we need more players.”
“As for signing other players, we have to wait. He [Rayan] is not our player yet, so I can't comment on that. We are interested in several players, and we need to wait and see who we can sign. Our situation is very difficult; we have few players, especially in attacking positions, particularly wingers.”
“Toth is ready to start. He is in good physical shape and prepared. He has only been with us for a day or two, so it might be difficult for him to fully understand what we are trying to do, but I hope he performs well.”
