Goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah earn a 2-0 win against Ipswich for Arne Slot in his first match in charge of Liverpool
bow with Liverpool was safely negotiated, avoiding the fate that befell Brendan Rodgers in 2012, a 3-0 defeat to West Brom. Jürgen Klopp’s October 2015 debut was a 0-0 draw with Tottenham remembered for the vigour of his players. How will this be recalled? Probably with mixed feelings.
A slower buildup did not appear to suit the players Slot has to hand. Liverpool’s best first-half chance came when the Ipswich defender Luke Woolfenden mistakenly played the ball into Díaz’s path, only for Christian Walton, the goalkeeper, to smother. Added patience in play will take some getting used to; there was audible impatience from an away support used to nine years of crash, bang, wallop, heavy metal football.
“It’s our time,” had said the pre-match announcer, the town centre having swelled with blue shirts since early morning. An ear-bleeding scream filled the muggy lunchtime air when early Liverpool possession was charged down and it appeared Conor Chaplin might have an opening.
