From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Jack Clarke puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Ipswich Town, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Azor Matusiwa in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Ipswich Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Mario Gaspar stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mario Gaspar and Ipswich Town agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Jack Clarke’s goal not enough for Ipswich Town

Jack Clarke scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Liverpool, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Jaden Philogene

8 goals and a season average of 7.41 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad

Sidney Eldred out for 41 days

The medical room confirms 41 days on the sidelines for Sidney Eldred, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Player ratings

Jack Clarke in the eights

A performance of 8.31 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market

George Hirst linked with a move away

The name of George Hirst keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Ipswich Town say nothing, which says plenty.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Kacey Wooster

Marked 5.17, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

In brief
