At presser on 13:33 - Jan 23 with 5608 views | PhilTWTD | Enciso, talented, great experiences, broke into senior football and international early, had big impact at Brighton. One injury last year that was a setback, which happens. Has had good games this year, but not opportunities he would like. A player we like, hopefully a good move for both parties. Spoke to him about club, was invloved in both games against Brighton. I usually speak about similar things with players coming in on loan, chance to come and get more minutes, and hopefully he will do that. And also how quickly buy into system, club in general. That will come. Talked about his role. Hungry young player, keen to come, hungry to do well for himself and have a big impact. Available Saturday but with the squad this morning. |  | |  |

More in? Wait and see, will go to the deadline. Only if players can improve us, otherwise have good squad. We've worked hard in the summer and this window and in between to improve the sqyad. Difficult given where we've come from, balancing act, but we've done that. Good squad, players who want to do well. If we can make more improvements will do, if not then we're happy with squad. |  | |  |

Had really good training session yesterday, short week, yesterday only day to train hard with te group. Looked back at game, there were positives, analysed the period when we needed to do better, owned it and move forward as a group. More bodies back, first time Jaden training with us, Julio today, boys still in good spirits. Liverpool at Anfield, you'd like to go there after a victory, but occasion we should embrace. |  | |  |

Portman Road game great occasion, first Premier League game back. Srtong in first half, made it hard for them. Hadn't the quality of execution to make the most of it. Once they scored first goal, we weren't able to stay with them. In second half, showed what has taken them to where they are. Can't take too much from that game, different game at Anfield and their form etc. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Have to accept that games like Sunday can happen against opponents like that but be honest about what could have been done better. Players have had a good couple of days and prepare for trip to Anfield. Going to have to be resilient, believe in ourselves, have shown we can compete with big teams, go and score goals and play good football, we'll have to show that in periods. What's going to matter Sunday, is spirit come 3pm. |  | |  |

Managing emotions a challenge. Need to enjoy Anfield atmosphere, enjoy where we are and where we're competing. Need to look forward to these challenges. Focus on your role, job, stick to task for the whole 90 mins, all you can do. Need to take care of things which will make a difference. Liverpool have been fantastic, they've been an enjoyable watch and how they've developed. Even in pre-season, Slot had managed to put his imprint on the team. Biggest observation is they're a really, really complete team. Have good structure, well-coached, great squad and can see why they are where they are. |  | |  |

Can't say it's a free hit, have to go there and show what we are as a team. In a game like this we know it will need individual and team defending but need to show what's brought us success. Salah, among greatest ever in Premier League? One for the dressing room. Axel T leads those discussions. Certainly one of best in Premier League, consistent for so many years. Analysed him first with Man U four/five years ago and probably stronger, certainly no weaker, which is a testament to him. Morsy speaks highly of him. Limited him for much of home game. |  | |  |

Between Town and Wolves for last relegation spot? Sure Leicester would have something to say about that, Saints won't have given up. Lots of time and points left in the season. Our focus is on ourselves and looking to improve, and a new phase of introducing players into the team. |  | |  |

Axel came through well, small debate on starting him as had done a few days before. Probably glad with that decision, has now had more training and nearer to starting, whether that's Saturday or later. |  | |  |

Thomas Frank says Liverpool best team in the world, agree? Didn't think that after Man C game. Shows scale of challenge. Very well coached, world class players, challenge of trying to find a way of facing those. More time to prepare than before Man City, need to keep going at them with optimism and positivity. |  | |  |

Julio, in essence number 10, likes half-spaces, those areas in which we want to get him working. Idea was to be as strong as we can in those positions. Those two players - Philogene - have added to the quality and depth of those positions. Evenly-balanced games, opposition such as Brighton bring on fresh line of attacking players. |  | |  |

Ali out without another striker? Always a balance, what's best for the club, what's best for the player. Ideally, would like three out-and-out number nines. But if supporting players have different characteristics, then that's a possibility as well. Operated with two strikers fully fit most of the time, three the utopia but not always possible. If possible to do, then we'll do that. |  | |  |

How competitive is striker market? Very, very few, same for all signings in January. If you look at 2023, players we brought in were in the team and making impact, very unusual, similar last year. Not that easy to find players you can bring in and not have a settling in period. Everyone's looking at the same market. Jan signings always a big story, fans and staff want to see it, but it's those already in the building who can take us forward. |  | |  |

Julio links with big clubs, not aware whether there was interest of that type, we felt this move suited him. Happy if he scores a Puskas Award type goal at Portman Road! Adding more goals and more goalscoring players was a priority, as well as working with the players here. |  | |  |

Right side issues last week, look at it when those things happen. Mitigating factors, not a lot of time, new players having come in and top class opposition. Looked back on that, will continue to improve. When you bring players in, you do it as you feel they'll do it for the next few months, but that there will be bedding in time. |  | |  |
