Wait for a few days till the reports seep out about Steven Gerrard wanting to work with Klopp again - then you’ll see who is really behind the hatchet job on Mr Intensity.

I can’t wait for his new book on this season, called “Apathy”.

It should be called "The Official Secrets Act". Or "I'm a fucking bellend".

[article]After a while I began to speak with Brendan Rodgers, who was curious how I was implementing a 3-4-3 system in my team.

"We got on well and in my second season [2015-16] I was asked to be one of his assistants," he adds. "I learned a lot from him, although he left by the October.

Rodgers probably thought they share the same personality, thus both got on well. 😛

I was the first to clown good old Brendan for that portrait but to be fair to him, I think it later turned out that was a gift from a charity he donated loads of cash to

That made me feel a bit meh about the thing, the thought of him having that painting made and proudly hanging it on the wall was way funnier
 
That's the point, this 'Ljinders is Emperor Palpatine' stuff is coming from inside the club and it doesn't benefit Ljinders at all so I think somebody is putting his head on the block for when the inquest into this shitshow of a season begins.
Unless this leak is coming from Klopp, there's no way the club could put the blame on Pep and sack him. They'd lose Klopp at the same time.
 
We live rent free in ones head, the other lives rent free in his own head. Can we just agree that all Pep's are wankers? Ta.
 


[article]Lijnders wrote about the rigours of the 2021-22 season in his book with the Reds coming very close to winning an unprecedented Quadruple.

Hamann questioned the timing of the book release in September, he wrote on Twitter: “The alarm bells should have been ringing for Liverpool fans when the current assistant manager wrote a book while still employed by the club. How he was allowed to do it I’m not too sure.”

He then followed that up with a tweet in January, he added: “The only question is whether the club benefited from it and the simple answer is no. His job is not to educate other coaches while he’s getting paid by Liverpool.”

And The Athletic claim that Klopp is ‘furious’ at Hamann’s comments about Lijnders and other people’s criticism of their fitness department.

The Athletic wrote:

He is known to be furious at reports suggesting that some within the camp have questioned the role of Andreas Kornmayer, his head of fitness and conditioning, and at former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann’s questioning of assistant manager Pep Lijnders. As personally as Klopp has taken criticism of his players at times this season, criticism of the coaching staff has gone down even worse.’[/article]



[article]Since joining Liverpool in a €42m transfer from PSV at the start of January, Cody Gakpo is still to have any goals or assists for the club.

The Reds’ new star has had six starts for the Jurgen Klopp’s side, but just like the rest of the team, is struggling a little to show his best so far.

However, this period of adaptation is well understood by his home country’s media. Because as De Telegraaf columnist Wim Kieft writes about Gakpo’s start at Liverpool, he claims the player still has plenty of time to adapt to the Premier League and succeed there.


“That boy has come to the club during a difficult period, but nobody is saying ‘no’ to Liverpool,” Kieft writes for De Telegraaf.

“It remains a great transfer for him. Fortunately, Liverpool also buys some players, because Klopp has never refreshed firmly. Gakpo should not be ashamed that things are not going great right away.”

The pundit also takes the example of big stars who had adaptation issues in English football, claiming Gakpo couldn’t simply arrive from the Eredivisie and be ready for the challenge.

“When Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba came into the Premier League as big and older stars, the first two months in the field you saw them looking around with a look of ‘what’s happening here?’

“The pace is so much faster than in other leagues and certainly than the Dutch. You need time to get used to the physical side.”

It turns out that Kieft also has a couple of things to say about Jurgen Klopp’s assistant Pepijn Lijnders. He points out that with the Reds struggling this season, you ‘no longer hear’ from the Dutch coach anymore.

It’s claimed that Lijnders ‘was often at the front to claim a small share of the success’, but with things not going great at Anfield this season, he’s disappeared for a while.[/article]
