Is this different yet or is it just the same as last season?

Reds home to Nottingham Forest and drop more points. We will review Liverpool’s first home game of the new season, and then we’ll go onto preview our Friday visit to Ipswich Town, a team that has looked better overall than the one that got relegated in 2024-25. I’m Paul, joined by Daz and Justin. Part One - the Forest game The first half performance Lot of gaps still in midfield and defence? The goal - Jacquet not following VVD’s lead Forest - lot of long balls Unlucky with the Wirtz ‘goal’ Second half More intense, Forest created little in this half - goal at 60 perfect timing The penalty? The lack of awareness and the foul throw The changes - Rio, Gravenberch, Nyoni  Munoz goal - Wirtz pass Overall: The xG appears misleading. Statsbomb doesn’t double count or generally count offside efforts and they had Forest at less than one non-penalty xG. Part Two - Ipswich Away What do we know, think and hope? Team selection How will the game play out? Predictions Bradley Barcola Bajcetic to Celta Vigo Squad building:We will be back after the Ipswich game - looking ahead to Atletico in the Champions League and Fulham at home.
