    Arne Slot’s hosts were three goals ahead at half-time, with Dominik Szoboszlai, Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo on target. Gakpo then a netted Liverpool’s fourth midway through the second period. The travelling Ipswich fans did have something to at least celebrate when Jacob Greaves headed home a consolation goal in the 90th minute.

    The Tractor Boys suffered another heavy reverse after previously losing 6-0 to Manchester City. But McKenna tried to take the positives as Ipswich’s ultimate aim is to avoid relegation.

    The Portman Road chief said: “It was a difficult position to be in at half-time, but also a frustrating position. In some aspects it was similar to last week in that there were some positives in the first half, it didn’t feel like we were under huge pressure, we started the game well and from very, very little, from not huge amounts of pressure, we find ourselves behind in the game and then a few goals behind in the game.

    “Liverpool executed well, we didn’t defend our box well enough and we find ourselves in a really difficult position in the game – especially after last week. It was a really difficult game management scenario and I think we can a lot of positives from the second half.

    “Firstly, in terms of the early stages of the second half. Everybody stuck together and we learned some lessons from last week. We stayed in organisation, we managed the game pretty well, we still managed to have some good passages and moves with the ball as well.

    “Then we finished the game really strong, the subs had a good impact, we get a goal back, could have had another goal and the fans got some reward. Look, it’s a difficult game on top of a difficult game. We’ve made some mistakes in there we can learn from, there are reasons for that as well, but I feel like it’s one that, if we take the lessons in the right way and work hard on them, we can be stronger for.

    “Finishing in the manner we did after two difficult games is a big positive and a good sign for us.”

    All of the predictors and results bots will be assigning a high percentage number to Liverpool’s chances of winning the Premier League trophy, even though there are still a lot of points to win and possibly lose.

    It seems like victories against a strong Bournemouth team and a difficult match against a revitalized Everton in the coming games will be crucial to ensuring that such predictions come true.

    Szoboszlai’s position as the most attacking midfielder becomes more crucial now that Diogo Jota is sidelined once more due to injury and there isn’t a known striker through the middle.

    It’s a position that is nearly as offensive as center-forward, and Szoboszlai usually forms a two through the middle with the striker, especially in a game like this where Liverpool controls the ball.

    The Hungarian added his third Premier League goal of the season, scooping it up in that advanced midfield position and shooting a precise left-footed effort into the bottom corner.

    Arne Slot shares what he saw Wataru Endo do straight after Julio Enciso horror tackle during Liverpool 4-1 Ipswich

    The Reds maintained their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with a convincing win at Anfield.

    After Dominik Szoboszlai put Liverpool ahead after just 11 minutes, the victory was never in doubt against an Ipswich side who rarely looked like getting a result.

    Once the Reds went 3-0 up at half-time, it was all about managing the game and making sure Liverpool did not suffer any needless injuries.

    That saw Arne Slot bring a number of more fringe players on, with Wataru Endo getting a 22 minute run-out.

    Endo was good during his cameo, but was most notable for being on the receiving end of a horror tackle from Julio Enciso. After taking a knee pretty much to the face, Slot has hailed Endo’s response.

    Endo has done brilliantly to work his way back into Slot’s plans at Liverpool.

    The Reds’ boss was keen to ship Wata out after being unconvinced by what he’d seen in pre-season. But the Japan captain has fought hard to become a key option for Slot from the bench.

    Endo is typified by his incredible mentality and never-say-die attitude and speaking in his post-match press conference, Slot said that this was on full display after Enciso clattered into the 31-year-old in the middle of the pitch.

    “When the foul was made I was like, that doesn’t look good, and the reactions from the players that were around him showed me,” said the Liverpool head coach.

    “I was like, let’s wait and see, but immediately during the game already he shakes his head one or two times and just goes again.

    “His mentality is unbelievable – and he was fine. It was only a yellow so I assume that the fear I had was not realistic because it was only a yellow.”

    There is no world in which Enciso did not deserve a straight red card for his challenge on Endo.

    The Paraguayan did pull away just at the last moment, otherwise his studs would have slammed into the Liverpool player’s chest.

    Instead, he more or less kneed Endo in the face, smashing into him and bringing the Liverpool man down.

    With VAR in full effect at Anfield, it was incredible that the referees did not see fit to send Enciso off.

    Thankfully Endo was okay, but had this been on a player with less steel than the No.3, it could have been incredibly dangerous.

    With fellow January signing Jaden Philogene making his debut from the bench last Sunday, Julio Enciso, who signed a loan deal with Ipswich from Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday, may play some role this weekend.
