Liverpool have signed the fastest player in the Premier League
Liverpool now have the fastest player in the Premier League, and he is very exciting.
Andoni Iraola and his Reds may not be the most balanced team in the competition. Liverpool definitely are a work in progress.
However, the victory over Ipswich showed that there are definitely plenty of things to be optimistic about.
The Spaniard knows how to get this team playing exciting attacking football. He understands how to platform attackers like Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak.
The former has four goal contributions in his first three Premier League games, the latter has three goals in three matches.
Liverpool meanwhile are slowly returning to playing a kind of football that matches the club's identity and philosophy.
Andoni Iraola's exciting plans for Liverpool
Obviously, Rome was not built in a day. It's going to be a while until we see the true benefits of Iraola's style of play.
Bournemouth initially struggled to adjust to the strict physical demands imposed by Iraola. But ultimately when the Cherries got going they were unstoppable.
The Spaniard led them to an unbeaten run towards the end of last season which helped them secure a place in the Europa League.
Liverpool will hope to benefit from Iraola's regime and his demands in the second half of the season.
But even so, they have made a positive start. Draws to Newcastle and Nottingham Forest were disappointing. But these are two teams Liverpool tend to struggle against.
The game against Ipswich was the first time in a calendar year Liverpool actually won an away game by two goals or more.
That's how dire things got under Arne Slot.

Things are going to get even better thanks to the new players coming in.
Ronald Araujo it looks like is finally getting settled. He was incredible against Ipswich with his no-nonsense defending.
The Barcelona loanee looks to be an absolute gem.
Meanwhile Victor Munoz has already proven his worth with a number of exhilarating performances which have also seen him win a penalty and score a brilliant goal in his first three games at the club.
Munoz's speed is frightening. When he's running at full force against defenders he is impossible to stop. He already gives Liverpool a new dimension.
But now Liverpool have signed Bradley Barcola as well. He made his debut against Ipswich and it took him just around 30 minutes to record the fastest top speed (35.9km/h) in the Premier League this season.
Which means Liverpool have essentially signed the fastest player in the Premier League.
