We had the chances to score, even to win the match,” Barcola said about the Arsenal game.“I think we need to work on being able to control the game more and play more football. Often, when we’re in a game like this, we resort to long balls. But in my opinion, we should try to keep the ball on the ground more, because we have players with the quality to do that.“We were really disappointed after the game but we know what we have to do better at. We’re not going to give up. We know that other teams will drop points. So it’s down to us to remain consistent until the end of the season.”LFC have some potentially tricky fixtures coming up next as they take on Fenerbahce away in the Champions League tonight, and then Crystal Palace away in the Premier League on Sunday.The post “We resort to long balls…” – Liverpool summer signing aims dig at Andoni Iraola tactics appeared first on CaughtOffside.
