What they're saying

"
Gary O'Neil was fully aware of the difficulty of the task at hand before kick-off as he reeled off Liverpool's array of attacking talent. The Ipswich manager will be disappointed with how easily his side conceded the opening goal, with Kjell Scherpen beaten too easily at his near post. There were encouraging flashes from Ipswich's attackers, particularly Julio Enciso and Jack Clarke after he came off the bench in the second half.

Similar to Manchester United, but at Manchester United we lost our way and moved away from the game plan, but today the lads were able to get straight back down to business. Ipswich have already conceded eight goals in the Premier League this season, their most after three games of a league campaign since 1964-65 (eight in the second tier). Ipswich are on their longest ever top-flight run without a clean sheet (22 matches).
