Liverpool’s first pre-season match saw Alisson Becker keeping a clean sheet as he started in goal against Ipswich Town. Despite only playing 61 minutes in pre-season, Andy Robertson was slotted in at left-back, with Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right. The central defensive pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Jarell Quansah saw Quansah substituted at half-time.
In the attacking department, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah were deployed as wingers, while Diogo Jota got the nod up front ahead of Darwin Nunez. The first half was a slow affair with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances. However, Liverpool turned on the style in the second half, dominating play and managing to score two goals.
The transfer decision on a “super important” star after being left out of the Ipswich Town clash is causing speculation among fans. Meanwhile, rumors are swirling that Liverpool are close to securing their first summer signing, having reportedly agreed personal terms with the player. The exciting developments in the Liverpool camp have fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming season.
