NADIR’S ON FIRE?
From the first minute of the second half Ciftci looked determined to make an impact on the match and an impression on Brendan Rodgers.
Last season’s square peg in a round hole looked an entirely different proposition although his free kick in the closing minutes is best forgotten.
The scowl, snarl and hunched shoulders of last season have been replaced with a leaner look, a striker with a point to prove. Some game time alongside Leigh Griffiths could be productive.
