Ipswich 0-2 Liverpool - the fans' verdict
- Published
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Ipswich and Liverpool.
Here are some of your comments:
Ipswich fans
Sam: Really not unhappy with our performance. We stuck to our core principles and created some decent chances in the first half. Liverpool upped their game in the second half but if we play like we did in the first half then results will come. We kept going.
Simon: McKenna rightly selected players who have brought Ipswich this far over the past two years. That we were the better team for 45 minutes shows how far they, and the club, have come. Liverpool found their mojo in the second half and we couldn't match them, but we were trying to match a top-four side and we are newly promoted. A positive start for Ipswich.
Jan: Ed Sheeran needs to get his priorities sorted. We were the better team while he was there!
Liverpool fans
Eddie: It was a slow start against a very good Ipswich team who ran themselves into the ground in the first half. What I liked about this game was that Slot changed things for the second half and we really did start to play good football. We still need a couple of players in - definitely a left-back and a left-sided centre-half, and extra cover in midfield.
Tommy: Liverpool were agonisingly slow in the first half and very fortunate not to be a couple of goals down by half-time. The back four were horrendous. There was a big improvement second half but if we start a match like that against one of the big teams we will get picked off.
Garry: A good result, and it was probably expected that newly promoted team would want to give an account of themselves. Liverpool usually take time to get going, but I worry that our passing needs to improve overall. It seems we get closed down too easily and are subject to mistakes in passing. However, we've retained our ruthless counter-attacking strategy. Great team performance.
