Man City 4-1 Ipswich: What McKenna said

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna has been speaking to BBC Sport following the defeat: "We regrouped and stuck together. We got through the majority of the second half without giving up too much. It was something for us to go through at this stage of the season.

"The way the fixtures have come out, it is about learning lessons and adapting as quickly as possible. There are positives for us to take.

"It was great for us to get our first goal. It was a really well-worked transition, exactly to plan. The only shame was we weren't able to enjoy that for longer and find stability in the game.

"The first goal is just a one-vs-one and you know you have to defend them. The second goal is a mistake. It wasn't a big bother from a tactical point of view. The players got together on the pitch and said we need to have a steady period.

"If we use the lessons well, it will be two good games for us [Liverpool and Manchester City]. That is a really difficult game - to play Manchester City - their first game back in their stadium and with the fans' favourite player back at the club.

"We are still short. We have added a lot of players late on [in the transfer window]. We know we are a work in progress and we will be for a little while. There are big positives across both games and that sets us up for the season."
