Liverpool boss Rodgers proud of Coutinho deal

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is proud of their deal last year for former Inter Milan midfielder Philippe Coutinho.

Coutinho pits his wits against Mesut Ozil today when Liverpool travel to Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

And Rodgers said: "Philippe has been a snip. He's an absolutely wonderful talent. There are very few players at this level now who can penetrate with a pass and play through teams like he does.

"The quality and weight of his passes is sensational."
