Mac Allister has spoken about what Slot has asked him to change and the principles amongst the side. 

"I think this manager asks more to stay in the position, and that's maybe like a different structure. 

"But the principles are the same. We know that defensively we have to run, we have to give our 100 per cent, the last two steps are so important and that can make the difference. 

"There is a couple of changes, not much, but I think Arne can help us to be a better team." 

The Reds were lousy in the first half but came to life in the second as they scored two to bag three points. 

Mac Allister mentioned the sides performance and importance of three points. 

"I think it was more about the last step when we were pressing," Mac Allister analysed. "Maybe (in the) first half we were not at 100 per cent but in the second half we showed the team we can be and we are really happy with our second-half performance. 

"It was good to start with a win – it's always important. We know that we came to a tough place. 

"You could see how excited they (Ipswich) were to play football, to play in the Premier League again. It was a nice game for both. I think they showed good things as well.
