Arne Slot is not fully happy with the 4-1 win over Ipswich Town because Liverpool conceded a late goal and failed to keep a clean sheet.
After the game, the boss told reporters: “It’s been a few times now that we played a home game that we conceded a goal in the start of the game, but I think today is the way you want to start the game: we were aggressive, dominant.
“For 85 minutes they have hardly been in our half I think.
“It is a counter-attack threat with the wingers they have and with [Liam] Delap but we managed to control that so, so, so well because of the amount of work we have put in.
“In the end, we are all a bit disappointed with conceding [from] a corner – the first one this season – but for 85 minutes it was almost a perfect performance, against a team that goes to such a low block.
“That’s not always easy then, but the way we did it for 85 minutes was really good.”
