Liverpool kicked off a new Premier League season and a new era under Arne Slot by beating Ipswich 2-0 on Saturday.
Goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah ensured the visitors overcame a poor start to take all three points at Portman Road.
And Reds reporter David Lynch was impressed by the combination of mental strength and quality shown by Slot's side in their opener.

Arne Slot hosted his first Premier League press conference as Liverpool manager on Friday, previewing the weekend trip to Ipswich.

Reds reporter David Lynch was there to hear what the manager had to say on the failed pursuit of Martin Zubimendi and whether the club will be busy in the coming weeks.
Injuries, Luis Diaz's future, and the contract situations of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk were also discussed.

Liverpool are in talks over a £30m deal for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.
The Reds are hoping to secure the Georgian as a long-term successor for Alisson Becker before loaning him out for the coming campaign.
After the failure to capture Martin Zubimendi, the first signing of the Arne Slot era is not expected to feature for the club next season.
But Liverpool reporter David Lynch believes this could be a smart move that helps avoid a similar long-term issue to those oft-discussed midfield woes.
He also reflects on what this means for Alisson's long-term future, as well as Caoimhin Kelleher in this latest transfer update.

Dave Davis is joined by Ben Bocsak to discuss:
• Martin Zubimendi: If LFC get this done is it good value?
• Ivan Toney: Worth a look by prem clubs or best waiting it out?
• Pedro Neto: Another winger for Chelsea worth the risk?
• Jean-Clair Todibo: A coup for West Ham or aerial concerns?
Martin Zubimendi has rejected the opportunity to join Liverpool.
The Spaniard had emerged as a key target for the Reds this summer but has this evening informed them of his desire to remain at Real Sociedad.
David Lynch is here to take you through the news, including details on how sporting director Richard Hughes feels he was misled in his pursuit of Zubimendi.
There is also a discussion of the Reds' plans following this blow, which appear unlikely to include chasing an alternative holding midfielder.
Let us know your thoughts on the failure to land Zubimendi in the comments below.
