Everton manager David Moyes sees a comparison between he and new Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
Moyes arrived at Goodison Park as a relative unknown a decade ago and he feels the appointment by the Reds of the former Swansea City gaffer is similar to the situation when he first arrived on Merseyside.
"The managers I was facing at Liverpool have been incredibly experienced - European champions and top, top managers.
"And the new manager at Liverpool is a top manager as well - but young now - and probably in his own way a little inexperienced a bit like I was when I started at Everton.
"But Brendan did a great job at Swansea and more than deserves his chance at the top end.""When I took over at Everton I was certainly young and inexperienced as far as the Premier League went," he told the club's official website.
