Arne Slot showed himself to be a ruthless tactician and decision-maker as he helped influence Liverpool's second-half demolition job on Ipswich Town.
'The players have to understand it wasn't enough in the first half.' New Liverpool boss Arne Slot revealed the away dressing room at Portman Road was not a happy place at half-time. Slot, taking charge of his first Premier League game, had seen his Liverpool team fail to hit the intensity levels required to win in the division - no matter the opposition. Ipswich were brave, bold and aggressive as their in-your-face approach was not matched by the visitors.
That's why it was an equal game. In the second half we won more duels and played the ball in behind. When teams play the risk of playing one-vs-one, when you have Luis Diaz, Mo Salah and Diogo Jota we had to use them - we did that better in the second half. 'Jurgen hated the 12.30 kick-off and we played like we hated the 12.30 kick-off as we weren't in the game in the first half. People told me there were no easy games in the Premier League and that showed today.
