However, he is someone who is capable of working under tight constraints and getting the best out of exciting young players.

Iraola will need time and some patience, things didn't get off to a brilliant start for him at Bournemouth either. However, over time he has shown that his methods are not only effective - they can be exciting as well.

Just ask how enamoured he became at Bournemouth and how much the fans appreciated his style of play.

How Liverpool are unleashing an exciting attack

Iraola's team is full of young players but in attack there is some experience. His side being spearheaded by Alexander Isak, who is one of the most prolific forwards in the Premier League.

Then there's Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola, all coming with great pedigrees. Behind them, Cody Gakpo has done very well this season, and Victor Munoz and Rio Ngumoha have emerged as genuine wildcard options.

Lewis Koumas has also established himself as an exciting candidate, someone definitely capable of playing a squad role in Iraola's side.

On top of him, it's easy to forget that Hugo Ekitike will be coming back eventually.

If Ekitike can return back to his old form, then Liverpool have an extremely exciting attack.

50-goal striker is edging closer to Liverpool's first-team

And there could be more exciting options in Iraola's disposal very soon. Obviously, there's a lot of hype around Jayden Danns at the club.

However, undoubtedly the most exciting young forward to keep a close eye on is 18-year-old Will Wright. He arrived from Salford last summer, where he scored over 50 goals at academy level before making his first-team debut and then joining Liverpool.

Wright's first season was marred by injuries, but he has since returned in incredible form.

This season he has five goals and one assist in just five games. He's been extremely prolific and at U21 level, his tally stands at 17 goal contributions in just 20 matches.

The youngster clearly knows where the goal is and if he keeps this rate of return up he's making it official he will be coming to join Iraola's first-team very soon.
