"I want my team to be energetic, to be dynamic, to play in the opposition half as much as we can."
"We have to make Anfield a very uncomfortable place to come," Iraola added.
"Sometimes I've been and it's a lovely stadium, lovely atmosphere, and you try to enjoy it.
No. We have to make it so it's nice for us but the opposition is going to have a hard time."
He emphasized that creating a reciprocal bond with the Anfield crowd is a primary objective that must originate from the performance of the players.
"One of our biggest advantages is if we get this connection from the team to the supporters, from the supporters to the team, it will be very difficult to stop us, especially at home," Iraola said.
"I think it's something that has to come from the team. I know if the team gives what we want, we'll have everyone behind us."
The head coach also addressed recent off-field developments, including the departure of Fenway Sports Group's chief executive of football Michael Edwards and uncertainty surrounding sporting director Richard Hughes.
"I have to be honest, I'm focused on my job which is a massive one," Iraola insisted.

"I talk to Richard, I talk to Mike Gordon, I talked to Michael Edwards – he seems super-smart so it is unfortunate he's not going to continue with us."
