Well, Rodgers always said his aim was for

to disrupt the top six.
They’ve disrupted them to such an extent that the six have run off to their own private league where they don’t have to worry about being shown up by better-run clubs on smaller budgets.

Iheanacho now on 15 goals and assists, an average of one every 88 minutes.

It’s clear that VAR just didn’t look at Maupay holding Vestergaard’s arm.

I thought Amartey was excellent today. He had one job against a certain No 7 and he did it brilliantly.

An unlikely hero given he wouldn't be in the team if Fofana and Justin were fit, but Amartey's performances (and the results when he's in the side) are earning him cult figure status.
