Revealed: Why Andoni Iraola always starts slowly at new clubs, the warning signs in Liverpool's pre-season and his gruelling training sessions to prepare players for his style that make them 'sick'

Andoni Iraola has a documented pattern of slow starts at new clubs, having been sacked by February at AEK Larnaca and winning just one of his first ten fixtures at Mirandes. The Daily Mail's Lewis Steele investigates the warning signs this trend may present for Liverpool ahead of their pre-season, where similar early struggles have reportedly been observed. Iraola's demanding training methods, which have reportedly made players 'sick', are central to preparing them for his high-intensity style of play.
