He does the simple things that keep possession but also makes probing passes, some of his turns when receiving possession under pressure were very well executed and then a simple but effective pass

The relation between the 2-1 and 1-2 structure in midfield under Iraola at times also depends what phase of the game we’re in. We could be 2-1 defensively and 1-2 when in possession. We saw that a lot, actually. Of course it’s not all robotic and precise, Iraola likes different players occupying different zones vertically, not have a lot of players in line horizontally.
I love his passing. I don’t know much about techniques however how he passes is what I would want to see if I were a manager. He even had a shot during this match and for me hit it wonderfully compared to what I see from others, still it was off target like those others.
