Ipswich Town away Saturday 17th Aug

But the individual players who were concerning last are still worrisome. That's a huge factor as well.

Robbo, Szlob and Salah have continued last season’s form (over just 45 mins admittedly), but we know we’ve got Salah for this season and then need to replace him, we’re stuck with that really. Left back is a concern, especially if Gomez goes. I think we’ll find a working system with the midfield options we have though.

Elliot for Soboszlai please

Fully agreed. I'm also hoping we have maybe two academy players who can step up and contribute since it seems like we won't be spending anything this transfer window.

Is Konate coming on?

The players may need more time working with a new manager and his system, but that doesn't excuse their failure to control the ball when receiving a pass, or failure to execute simple passes to team mates that are wide open.

So was carvalo, but we sold him.

Yeah. Didn't understand that sale at all.

[Buzzo]

Konate on. Playing out from the back going to be even more interesting.

How's the ref giving a free kick for deliberate handball, but not the yellow card (2nd yellow) that comes with it?

Salah is no longer a top 6 Premier League team player. He should not be starting for us.

VVD is also too slow on the ball, he's allowing the Ipswich defense to get set and press us.

I'm not a huge fan of defenders standing with the ball at their feet waiting to be closed down by the opposition.

Of the midfield three, picking Grav to criticise seems weird. He’s been better than Szob and MacAllister.

Because it is an unnatural position for him and the balance is way off. But yes other two been ****e aswell

Is Konate coming on?

Slot seems to be more ruthless that Klopp with the changes, which is good.

[spud_gun]

Konate on for who?

[Kenneth]

Diaz doing Diaz things.

It looks to me like we’ve gone 3 at the back with Trent in midfield
