Andoni Iraola said Liverpool's forwards should prioritize playing at full intensity over completing 90 minutes as the new head coach prepares for his first home game at Anfield on Saturday. The Basque manager outlined the demands he will place on his attacking options as the club enters a new era.

Iraola hopes to strengthen Liverpool's forward line before Tuesday's transfer deadline with the arrival of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain and another winger. So far only Victor Muñoz has been added to the attacking ranks.
