Judging by his influence on keepers, he must be shit with his hands
I don't care who was actually wrong, this fella is supposedly vital to the way we play, the other fella is a goalkeeping coach who so far in his Liverpool career seems to have mostly made keepers worse.
I don't give a fuck, side with the more important fella Jurgen, if needs be, then talk to Achterberg later on explaining it's just for the betterment of the team as a whole.

I’m not swallowing that one...
Harry Kane apparently. He's desperate for golden boot
Achteberg should have gone a long time ago.

I think you might be right.
Hopefully I've created a link here that will work if you want to download the whole book:

As I said - fucking Yoko Ono!!!!
Like Nigel Tufnel returning to Spinal Tap. The result midweek had better be okay, though!
If Buvac is the one holding a grudge from a fuck up in December then he's the tart.
Yup. And if he doesn't want to be here anymore - then fuck off.
Moreno on drums. I would relish the moment he spontaneously combusts.
LOL, very good, very good.
From Joyce in The Times:
It is understood Buvac has become increasingly distant and withdrawn around the club, and visibly less engaged during matches recently, and it is that, rather than any specific fall-out with Klopp, which has resulted in his stepping back from first-team duties in the aftermath of the stalemate with Stoke City on Saturday. Liverpool’s players were informed at training on Sunday.
The decision appears to have been taken for the good of the club, with Klopp recognising that his assistant manager was not as engaged as in the past and opting to tackle the matter even at such a crucial time.
Klopp will hope his right-hand man can return, but if Buvac does not want to be around the club at present, when European ambitions are on the line, it is difficult to envisage that changing.
The coverage gets more exasperating as it goes on. The second paragraph above has since been removed from the online version. Is that because Joyce doubted his source(s), or perhaps realised that without further explanation it's just puzzling to state like that. If all that's happened is Buvac not pulling his weight, why remove him before the end of the season? For appearances sake, wouldn't it be easier to just leave him there? If he'd been active and giving dubious input, then yes, that might warrant removing him, but indolence surely wouldn't cause any serious problems for a few games. A withdrawn bloke on a chair is less eye-catching (and newsworthy) than an empty seat. I can't help but think that no hack really knows what's really going on.
Meanwhile, in the Mail, Dominic King (ex-Echo LFC corespondent, with contacts at least as good as Joyce's at the club) is reduced to speculating that it might be down to jealousy:
“One theory is Buvac has grown frustrated by a perceived dilution of his responsibilities, while Kornmayer, recruited from Bayern Munich two years ago, has been recommended to receive a new contract. Many have noticed of late that Buvac has seemed more distant”.
(I'm pretty sure it's not related to health or family, because when it is a club announces it's a personal matter and then they summon the core of local hacks, explain what the problem actually is, and then get them to agree to leave the story alone until a later date. That hasn't happened here.)

WIN BIG EARS FOR BUVAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There will be speculation and I hope whatever happened to the guy he come back as a strong asset for us. If there is something personal disturbing him to the degree that Klopp feel we are better without him at this stage it is obviously not good for him. Hope he sorts it out whatever it is.
From our own point of view (but possibly not his) that is a good sign because it suggests Buvac's problem is domestic and not work-related.
It does, and perhaps the problem found an outlet in an ostensibly work-related dispute though the real problem lies elsewhere. Not sure about "good sign" though, because if it had been work-related one would hope the club would have been able to do something about it, whereas now that's likely to be more difficult.
I can never understand why people get so exercised by media coverage of the club. Let's not turn this into a process story...the real matter here is something has happened to persuade the club and a senior member of staff to part company on the eve of the biggest month the club has faced in the last 10 years. However you cut and slice it, whoever knows what, that can't be good. The rest is just puff.
Erm you mean Poove
