Ipswich 0-2 Liverpool: What O'Neil said

Ipswich Town manager Gary O'Neil speaking to Sky Sports: "Proud of the group. I thought we were excellent. Two mistakes in the first 10 minutes made it very difficult, but I think we were probably the better side for large parts after that. More shots and some really good chances. "Obviously, the mistakes were big; we were punished heavily by world-class players, but then an excellent response and we gave it our best, which the fans appreciated, as you could see from their reaction at the end, but we are here for points, so next week we have to make sure we take some. "There were no issues out there for us tactically. 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. "Second half especially, I thought we were excellent with the ball and cut through them many times. We didn't quite find that moment of quality to get us back in it, but of course this is one of the most extreme tests, and we came up a little short in terms of points. But in terms of what I asked for the players, I thought they were very, very good." Did you know? 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). Meanwhile, manager Gary O'Neil has only seen his side keep one clean sheet across his last 31 Premier League games (Wolves 2-0 Southampton in November 2024).
