Liverpool boss Rodgers: We expect big things from Ibe

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits he expects "big things" from Jordon Ibe.

Ibe was man of the match in Saturday's Merseyside derby, only his second Premier League start, and Rodgers has high hopes he can make similar progress to his fellow youngster.

"He is a very talented player. If he was a foreign player everyone would be raving about him," he said.

"He is an incredible talent for someone so young and he can go into any arena in the world and play now.

"Hopefully that game will fast-track his development as it has a number of our younger players in the last two years.

"I expect big things from him but there is still a long way to go and a lot to learn but hopefully he could be a big influence for us."
