Liverpool commenced their 2024/25 Premier League season with a 2-0 victory against newly-promoted Ipswich Town, showcasing a resilient performance after a challenging first half. New head coach Arne Slot's tactical adjustments at halftime, notably the introduction of Ibrahima Konaté, revitalized the team's intensity and ability to win individual battles. Ryan Gravenberch, previously struggling to find his role, emerged as a key figure in midfield, adapting to a deeper position that allowed him to contribute both defensively and offensively. His performance, especially in the second half, highlighted his potential under Slot's management, despite initial exposure in the first half. The match also raised questions regarding Liverpool's transfer activity, as they remain the only Premier League club without new signings, following a failed pursuit of Martin Zubimendi. Fans remain hopeful that Slot's coaching can compensate for the lack of new acquisitions, particularly with Gravenberch's promising display.
