​ESPN’s Liverpool correspondent Beth Lindop believes Andoni Iraola “said a lot of the right things” in his first news conference as head coach, but added that there will be “plenty of twists, turns and difficulties” for the Spaniard to navigate at Anfield.The Reds boss outlined his plan for “intense and aggressive” football, admitted there is work to be done in the transfer window and confirmed that Harvey Elliott will be “given a chance” in pre-season.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”He came across really well,” Lindop told BBC Radio Merseyside. “Just to give an idea of how big this occasion was, I got to the training ground about half an hour before the news conference and there was no room in the car park.”It is going to be a step up in terms of the scrutiny – and, importantly, he acknowledged that. He hit all the right notes.”We know that towards the end of last season there was a debate over the level of connection Arne Slot had with Liverpool – as a club and as a city – but Andoni Iraola was quite pointed on it.”He wants to forge that connection and not just be in his own bubble. He even spoke about wanting to go out into the city, which will probably be easier said than done once the season gets under way.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”I enjoyed when he said that he is probably going to say the wrong thing at times and make some mistakes because that is only natural. He is a young coach so there will be things he has to learn.”When you come up against adversity, that’s when you really begin to see what you are made of as a coach. I’m sure there will be plenty of twists, turns and difficulties that he will have to navigate but, for the time being, he has said a lot of the right things.”Listen to the full conversation above or listen on BBC Sounds
