Liverpool's Trey Nyoni said he assumes Andoni Iraola sees him mainly as a No. 6, since that is where he has been playing, though he is open to other roles. The 19-year-old played the last 20 minutes of the Bournemouth win and impressed against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.
Nyoni said Iraola's system suits him because it is forward-thinking: players are asked to move the ball forward quickly and press aggressively. He also said work without the ball matters.
Liverpool's summer debate over the lack of a specialist No. 6 forms the backdrop. The article cautions that Nyoni's promising early showings do not yet establish whether he can hold the role over a full season.
