Former Ipswich captain Mick Mills spoke to BBC Radio Suffolk about Jacob Greaves, Liam Delap and Sam Szmodics, who all made their club debuts in the defeat to Liverpool:

"I like the look of Jacob Greaves, he's strong, athletic and has a good touch. I think he'll do good for us this year.

"Liam Delap started to show us what he is all about. He showed us his strength against two very good centre-backs and showed us the pace he's got when Trent Alexander-Arnold showed him the byline and he left him for dead.

"Even Sam Szmodics, he came on and showed us one or two things. He's been played on the left touchline and it didn't phase him. His touch is good and he's very positive on the ball."

On Kalvin Phillips, who is yet to make his Town debut, Mills added: "He's the type of guy I thought we would have been searching for a long time ago in the summer. He's the sort of guy you need in central midfield with that experience. He's tough, tenacious and even Gareth Southgate said the player we missed most [at the Euros] was Phillips. We've got a lot to look forward to with him."
