Ipswich Town away Saturday 17th Aug

[DerKrampus]

Great tackle by Grav, given as a foul I think the crowd have got to the ref now.

I thought that too, got the ball and didn't touch the player beforehand.

I get that we don't want to concede first and so we're holding back the fullbacks, but the midfield just isn't working at the moment.

We need to get Macca and Szob off and replace with Elliott and Jones. Gravenberch has been quietly impressive though.

Is it me or is our touch more pub team than premier league?

[vlahka]

100% garbage

[peterbread]

Got to remember how many preseason games some of these guys have played and how much time they’ve had to work with Slot.

Patience is needed while the team gets fit and up to the new style.

[The_weatherman]

Harvey should have started, Tsimi too.

[Exiled_red]

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

Grav has been the best Liverpool player in midfield and has done well. That's a crazy take. Macca and Szob has been ****.

[Irishnev]

Halftime musings:

The PGMOL keep amazing me by finding worse and worse refs
Robbo needs replacing in the team
We are going to concede some horrible goals this season by trying to play out from the back
We need a 6, Grav has done ok but we need better
I change my mind match on match about Szozbo
No new manager bounce for us, still flat and timid

[Assassin]

Hardly surprising this is under whelming. Slot should have been using Elliott and Jones, players who are more used to his playing system

[Kenneth]

It’s our first game playing a team who’ve been on a roll for two years with the same manager, there are going to be teething issues. It will be really interesting to see what Slot can do at half time.

[kemm1]

We are going to concede a **** ton of stupid goals playing this way. I'm hoping slot will realise that in this league it's just asking for trouble. You're inviting unwanted pressure.

Aa an attacking unit it's looks prime end of term klopp. Toothless.

Early days. Nunez on for Salah.

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.

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

[sevennilphil]

It’s not been great but this was always going to be a tricky first game. I think we’ll see Elliott and Tsimikas soon - Robertson and MacAllister don’t look fit to me.

[peterbread]

Really surprised Elliot didn’t start, was one of the best in preseason. Hopefully he’s on the pitch soon.

So was carvalo, but we sold him.
