It always takes a little bit of time when you're going [to a new club], I said that to him before he left. But there is no doubting his talent, he's had the mentality, and he's a really, really good player.""He's playing in a more advanced position, and it allows him to get in there. He's got good legs, good energy, so he can arrive in the box. And he's got a fantastic left foot, so hopefully we don't see that at the weekend, but I always wish him well.""A big challenge" – Brendan Rodgers on upcoming game against ChelseaBrendan Rodgers was also full of praise for Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel for making his side organized and extremely hard to beat.

They can bring players in and it doesn't make a difference.
