Gary O'Neil was fully aware of the difficulty of the task at hand before kick-off as he reeled off Liverpool's array of attacking talent. The Ipswich manager will be disappointed with how easily his side conceded the opening goal, with Kjell Scherpen beaten too easily at his near post. There were encouraging flashes from Ipswich's attackers, particularly Julio Enciso and Jack Clarke after he came off the bench in the second half.
This is not really a fair fight. Coventry spent £125million this summer after winning promotion. City, on the other hand, committed about £330m just to rebuild their midfield.
Life back in the Premier League after 25 years away does not get any easier for Coventry City. Manchester City flexed their muscles last time out with a 4-1 win over Crystal Palace. After only just edging past Bournemouth in their first game, new head coach Enzo Maresca has enjoyed an encouraging start in the unenviable position of replacing Pep Guardiola.
