'I'd pay to watch that pass again'
Jan Molby insists he'd have no hesitation in paying money to watch Philippe Coutinho deliver more 'world-class' passes like the one he supplied in the build-up to Liverpool's second goal in last weekend's 6-0 win at Newcastle.
The Brazilian carved open the home side's defence with an outside-of-the-foot pass that sent Daniel Sturridge through on goal. The striker subsequently squared for Jordan Henderson to tap home.
It was a ball that left one of Anfield's most legendary pass masters drooling.
Molby wrote in his Liverpool Echo column: "The words 'world class' are used far too often these days.
"But I saw something at Newcastle last week which deserved that description - the pass from Philippe Coutinho for Liverpool's second goal.
"Some people will ask what was so special about that?
"But the vast majority of players in that position would have shifted the ball out to Jordan Henderson on the left.
"That was where Newcastle wanted him to play it. But instead he played it between the two defenders for Daniel Sturridge.
"The weight on the ball was outstanding and that created the space for Henderson to score. I'd pay to watch a pass like that."
