3 points. Clean sheet. Long way to go but happy enough with that for now. Onwards and upwards
Slow start. First half was very poor. Second half was much better. TAA's passing is other worldly, and I felt Grav grew in the game and was phenomenal on the half turn and driving with the ball.
We won’t get away with a performance like that against upper table teams but all in all not a bad first game. Konate stabalised the defence and Dom started to fill for Trent when he pushed up.
Small changes, big difference. Slot said that Quansah was subbed because he lost too many duels and we couldn’t control the game, hence bringing on Konate.
“I told the boys at half time, there’s no point talking about tactics if we don’t win our duels.” Really impressed with how Slot had changed this game and in turn broke the first game curse becoming Liverpool's first manager in the PL era to win his first competitive match, even without new signings
A few more comments...
Mo takes the record for opening day scoring in his own right
Compare that to Luis Diaz...Where attacks go to die
Diaz's end product does my head in
From an Ipswich point of view, they really need to have Ed Sheeran for the full 90 mins
Seems like he left early because of a gig in Serbia. Oh and Ipswich's GK should have got MOTM. If not for him we probably would have won by 4 or 5 goals.
