Brendan Rodgers calls for Philippe Coutinho to score more

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has called on Philippe Coutinho to add more goals to his game.

The Brazilian playmaker was a constant menace to Hull City as the Reds beat the Tigers 2-0 on New Year's Day, but was unable to get on the scoresheet.

Rodgers told the club's official website: "He's shooting, he's really positive, he's aggressive and it was a wonderful bit of skill there at the end that could have been capped off with a goal.

"He just needs to learn how to put the ball in the net. He's played in all of the games and for a little guy, his strength has been incredible, I think everyone wished that [chance] at the end had gone in."

The victory takes the Reds back inside the top four in the Premier League.
