Andoni Iraola

"I want to give Liverpool fans 'a team they can be proud of' and that he is ready for the responsibility of such a high-profile job."

"I think football and especially Liverpool is about connecting - connecting with the people, connecting with our supporters."

"I'm ready for it. I understand this is a massive club."

"I think Alexis has been one of the best players at the club for the last few years, and he has had a very good World Cup, so it is normal that other clubs want our best players."

"I'm very happy with the situation we have right now in the goalkeeping area."

"I think it's a situation that is tricky, because we trust Conor in the long term, we know we want him to be our right-back but right now he is still, I would say, a little bit far from returning."

"It happened quite fast."

"Probably the worst news has been straight away the injury of Joe. We were happy because we were going through training without losing any players and unluckily for us we've lost Joe straight away."

"With Jeremy we decided to take it easy with him. He's had a lot of months without playing and he's been training very well but we're going to take it easy with him."

"Joe has a muscle injury. It was quite clear since he complained straight away so he will be some weeks off."

"I particularly hate this month of August because you start the competitions and you still don't know if some of the players are going to leave and who's going to come - there is a lot of uncertainty."

"I think we learn a lot of things. Obviously it's not the result you want but I think (it was) probably the most useful friendly we played – in a positive way in the first half and in a negative way in the second half."

"We probably don't have much more, in terms of the levels required to play like this."

"I use a lot of exercises from Marcelo that I learned from him, especially with the ball."

"I'm very happy for the players, in this kind of big game you have to rise to the occasion."

"Andoni Iraola registered his third Premier League win over Arteta."

"As a manager, this is an easy one for me. I wanted the players for the first day on 13 July - everyone here and all the positions doubled with top-level players."

"You are asking me what we need - there are certain situations that for me are clear - especially now on the wing because we don't have enough players specific to play in those positions."

"With Curtis, you know. I think it's still not official but there is an ongoing situation."

"'When you score at the end it tastes better'"

"I think it's just not personnel."

"We have to adapt as a team to these situations and we have to know that these situations can happen."

"[Gakpo] has been very good since he came back from the World Cup and his holiday, with a very good attitude. I hope we can keep him at that level because I think he has been very influential in our games."

"I am very happy with all of Liverpool's signings since my arrival and that it is down to me to develop the squad."

"I want to win. I need to win."

"Gakpo is a valuable player."

"it feels good to pick up my first victory in charge"

"The important thing is he wants to be here. We haven't been together a long time but he has been an important player and I rate him very highly."
