Brendan Rodgers: "Wonderful" Philippe Coutinho will add more goals to his game

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers backs Philippe Coutinho to improve his goal tally.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers talked up the talent of Philippe Coutinho and believes that the 21-year-old can score more goals.

The Brazilian playmaker recently revealed that he wanted to improve his goal return, and the Reds boss insists that the 21-year-old has the ability to up his tally.

Rodgers told the club's official website: "I think he's got himself into some great positions - but I spoke to him and said that maybe sometimes he tries to be too accurate. What's important is you hit the target.

"He's a wonderful player. He opens the game up for us at times, he's a player that loves to have the ball and allows you to continue with your game, and he puts defenders on the back foot.

"He's a kid that works very, very hard at his game. I'm sure once one goes in, he can go on a little run of goals."

The Reds host Aston Villa this evening.
