Andoni Iraola talked about hitting ten games with Liverpool as the head coach.

·‘We are learning through the process’

The Basque boss had to wait until a 3-0 loss to Manchester City after the international break to suffer his first defeat, and his side bounced back with wins over LASK and Brentford during the last week.

Iraola is pleased with the progress of the group, but the relentless schedule leaves no time for idling.

"I don't even have time to think. It's already 10 matches. It has been a bit of everything, we don't have time to reflect on a lot of things.

"As soon as we finished at Brentford, on the bus coming back I was looking at the Villarreal report.

"We are learning through the process, and we adapt to the circumstances...we have to learn every day and improve, especially improve.

"I think the results were better at Liverpool. It was very difficult to start in Bournemouth. From then we had a good run of games, and I hope here also we can continue in a good place."

·‘You learn by going through difficulties’

The latest victory, a 2-1 triumph over the Bees, brought the setback of a pair of injuries for Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong as well as a first half deficit. Víctor Muñoz levelled the score with a bustling run from right back, having filled in for Frimpong, before Alexander Isak punished the ten-man hosts with a second strike. Such actions show the resilience that the head coach desires.

"You learn by going through those difficulties. Until you are under the pressure of having to try Víctor Muñoz in a position he hasn't played or going against a result or play with 10 players.

"This gives us knowledge about each other.

"When you are in half-time and you are in a difficult situation and have to adapt [such as Saturday's win at Brentford]. Those situations you can't expect and have to react, it shows character of players."
