Roy Evans sees similarities between the passing ability of January signing Philippe Coutinho and Anfield great Jan Molby.

Our former manager believes it is important not to put too much pressure on the 20-year-old's shoulders - but thinks he can develop into a real asset for the club.

"He's got the same type of vision as Jan," Evans told LFC TV after Coutinho set up two of Daniel Sturridge's goals against Fulham on Sunday.

"Jan might tell you he could see a bit more than that, but to be fair he does have that kind of vision.

"Steven Gerrard has had that vision over all these years - especially with the longer balls.

"Coutinho has got that little bit of cuteness about him that means if you make the run, you've got a 90 per cent chance he's going to stick it in the right place for you.

"This guy knows how to pass it. I'm not trying to say or put too much on him just yet because he's still a young lad of 20, but he's got class.

"That gives you great confidence to go and make the runs.

"Coutinho is benefitting everyone - not just Sturridge. Jordan Henderson is making runs into the box and he's finding him too."
