Kieran McKenna chose to reflect on the positives after his struggling Ipswich Town side were well beaten by Liverpool. A Cody Gakpo brace and goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah earned the Reds a comfortable 4-1 Premier League win at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Liverpool, who remain six points clear at the summit with a game in hand, could have won by more before taking their foot off the gas in the closing stages, which allowed Jacob Greaves to head in a late consolation for the visitors.
And after Ipswich had been hammered 6-0 at home by champions Manchester City last weekend, McKenna was pleased his players didn’t fold in a similar fashion once more.
“It was a difficult game, and difficult position to be in at half-time but also a frustrating position,” he said.
“In some aspects it was similar to last week. There were some positives in the first half. It didn’t feel like we were under huge pressure and we started the game well.
“From not a huge amount of pressure we were a goal then a few goals behind. Liverpool executed well and we didn’t defend the box well enough.
