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 gameThe first half performanceLot of gaps still in midfield and defence?The goal - Jacquet not following VVD’s leadForest - lot of long ballsUnlucky with the Wirtz ‘goal’Second halfMore intense, Forest created little in this half - goal at 60 perfect timingThe penalty? The lack of awareness and the foul throwThe changes - Rio, Gravenberch, Nyoni Munoz goal - Wirtz passOverall: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 AwayWhat do we know, think and hope?Team selectionHow will the game play out?PredictionsBradley BarcolaBajcetic to Celta VigoSquad building:We will be back after the Ipswich game - looking ahead to Atletico in the Champions League and Fulham at home.
