Steven Gerrard has revealed Philippe Coutinho was so good in training that he told him to "stay away" from him.
Coutinho saw a move to Barcelona fail to materialise over the summer after the Anfield club refused to sell him in the summer.
And former Liverpool captain Gerrard, who is now a pundit on BT Sport, said: "He's impossible to defend against; when I used to train with him I’d hate it when I was on the opposition five-a-side team.
"I wouldn't go near him and sometimes i told him to keep away from me because he can embarrass you. If he stands you up he can go both ways.
"He's got such a low centre of gravity, he's so sharp, so quick and he's two or three steps ahead of defenders, he's so, so clever."
The 25-year-old scored his first goal of the season in his side's 3-2 win over Leicester on Sunday.
