Andoni Iraola and his men lost their unbeaten streak on Sunday.

Before their 3-0 defeat against Manchester City, the Reds were unbeaten across all competitions and looked fairly solid.

Indeed, some of their new additions were taking a bit of time to get used to life in the Premier League but, nobody thought that they'd end up losing 3-0 to the Cityzens, especially after all the recent news that has emerged about them.

Of course, some such as Jeremy Jacquet and Ronald Araujo have more than made their presence known but others, such as Bradley Barcola, have left a lot to be desired.

This has caused the rumour mill to go into overdrive about whether the Frenchman was even worth them buying in the first place.

However, since he's not a natural right-winger and has been used there fairly often this term, the best of the 23-year-old could still be coming.

Despite their need for new attackers, other areas of their first-team squad also need to be upgraded which is why the recent green light that Liverpool have been handed could be extremely good for them.
