Pepiijn Lijnders

[gkmacca]

Liverpool are set to name Pepiijn Lijnders as the first addition to Brendan Rodgers new look coaching staff.

The 32-year-old has been working with the club's under-16 players since arriving from a technical role at FC Porto last summer and will fill the void left by Mike Marsh's departure earlier this month.

Like Marsh, Lijnders will make the transition from Liverpool's academy base in Kirkby to the first team ranks at Melwood as Rodgers continued his reshuffle of the back room staff at Anfield after also deposing of assistant manager Colin Pascoe.

I had never heard of him. Google says the following :



The 32-year-old Dutchman is a multi-linguist who quotes Einstein and has one of the strongest reputations in the world of youth development.

Lijnders is a coaching wunderkind and now he is in charge of shaping Liverpool’s wonderkids of the future.

He began his career as an intern at PSV Eindhoven in his native Holland and eventually spent five years with the Dutch giants.

He was poached by Porto and enjoyed seven seasons in Portugal coaching at all levels from Under 6 to the first team squad.

His views on development, education and commitment to attacking football established Lijnders as one of the most promising youth coaches in the world.


Setting aside the comments, Porto and PSV is a good background

 

[gkmacca]

He's rated at the club for his one-on-one coaching sessions, so I suspect he's been chosen with a view to doing more detailed work while Rodgers concentrates on the broader themes.

The assistant manager will hopefully be someone who will balance the attacking focus of Rodgers and Lijnders with a good dose of defensive wisdom.

Buddha had a thread on him last week but managed to get his name totally wrong. This one only has an extra i in his first name which is a vast improvement on calling him Anders.

This is a long read I posted in the earlier thread about his philosophy and training methods

This one is shorter and more recent

Still no proper source?

The assistant manager will hopefully be someone who will balance the attacking focus of Rodgers and Lijnders with a good dose of defensive wisdom.

...and who will hopefully have enough clout to ensure that Rodgers listens to him.

Tony Barrett in The Times:


While much of the attention centres on Liverpool’s attempts to strengthen their squad, Rodgers is in the process of overseeing a shake-up of his backroom staff, with Pepijn Lijnders, the under-16 coach, set to step up to first-team duties after the recent departures of Colin Pascoe, the assistant manager, and Mike Marsh, the first-team coach.

Marsh and Pascoe were released by Liverpool this month and the work of the highly rated Lijnders at academy level meant he was a leading candidate to join up with Rodgers. His promotion is expected to be confirmed shortly.
Lijnders, 32, previously worked at first-team level with Porto after joining them from Ajax, and has established a reputation for specialising in one-on- one coaching.

 

[cloggypop]

Sounds good but he joined Porto from PSV not Ajax.

Just wait till Rodgers and Ayer make him one of the boys, he'll end up accidentally killing a hooker or something.

Already done, that's the initiation

 

[C/O]

There's definitely an occult side to Liverpool these days, all these initiations, touching young men's faces etc. And that's just what can be seen in public.

A pentagram. Satan's favourite shape.

Clearly a sign for the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

An obvious illuminati triangle/pyramid.

Another Pyramid

Now, I'm not saying Rodgers is definitely the antichrist, I'm just providing the facts. Make up your own mind.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Hopefully he can bring some of the obviously talented players out of their shells who have been playing within themselves for a while

 

[Markeh]

How long does he have to play the pentagram formation before he gets the option to sell his soul for success like Ferguson?

 

[C/O]

More proof. This will be the last because I don't want to take over the thread with this inconvenient truth.

The Masonic hand gesture. Used by members of secret societies so they know who's in their gang when they see pictures of them.

Napoleon

Lincoln

These lads

The two good Beatles

Nietzsche

J.W. Booth

And surprise surprise, Brendan Rogders

OPEN YOUR EYES, SHEEPLE!

 

[C/O]

I think he has to kill Ferguson and drink his blood. Probably.

 

[C/O]

This dude is going to suit Rodgers down to the ground.

 

[Ryan]

He's 32!!!!!

 

[C/O]

He's 32!!!!!

Yea but he's into the same music and TV shows that Brendan is so it's all good.

 

[Insignificance]

I have faith in the guy.... However given his age, lack of experience and has his strengths of developing talent, maybe we should use him for that.It is Rodgers I have a hard time accepting. And as long as he calls the shots we will never know what to expect from whoever comes in.

He quotes Einstein!?

Lijneders - 'Come here lads.....gather round.....JORDAN!! Put that cone down.....sit on the line lads......right.....who can tell me what E equals.......?'

Brendan *aside to John Henry* - 'Oh ive seen this bit, its dead good so it is, watch this'

Sterling - 'Is it A BANGING GOOD NIGHT? *laughs*

Lijinders - 'No Raheem thats not the right answer, sit down lad and put that balloon away'

Brendan *aside to John Henry* - 'This is about us, just us...and the support-hers.....just us, the support-hers...and the players....and us'

Jordan - 'Is it Ethiopia boss? I cannee think of nae others like! Are we signin an Etheopian?'

*joe allen leans over sideways and whispers to Jordan*

Jordan - 'Ive never heard of Eritrea like!'

Joe *rolling his eyes* - 'Is it Eritrea boss'

Lijinders - 'Its not a country lads!!'

Brendan - ENVELOPE!!!

Lijinders - 'No!'

Simon - 'Everton!! Its Everton!

Flanno - 'Eeeeeem we call dem Neverton laaar'

Simon - 'Mr Lijinders you have it wrong, That would begin with N!'

Lijinders - 'Yes it would, but it isnt Everton!'

Flanno - 'Is it NEVERton' *beams*

Lijinders - 'No its not, as Simon said Neverton would start with N, that would be an N word'

Jordan - 'Ooh reet are we playing Simon Says? I missunderstood the earlier question'

Mario - 'An N word? *mouths the word motherfucker at Lijinders*

Lijinders - 'NO NOT A FUCKING N WORD I ASKED IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT E STANDS FOR OR IS EQUAL TOO FOR FUCK SAKE!!!'

Brendan *aside to John Henry* - See that? Thats passion, go over and touch his face! Soft! *nods*

Jordan *pointing maniacally at Lijinders* - 'AAAAAAHHH YOU NEVAAA SAID SIMON SAYS CAN ANYONE TELL US WHAT E IS EQUAL TEE LIKE'!!

End scene.

 

[Mamma Mia]

Amazing

 

[mark1975]

Hahahaha, that's ace.

 

[Oncy]

If i'd really committed i'd have done pictures like Macca does.

 

[Mamma Mia]

I only realised it wasn't a Macca post about halfway through.

"Brendan - ENVELOPE!!!"

Fucking gold.

 

[Ryan]

I didn't find it funny. I saw the big long post, ignored it, saw all the likes and thought it must be good I better go back and read it.

It wasn't funny.

Sorry Andy.

Actually, I'm not sure why I'm apologising. He should be apologising to me for me having to read it. Or you lot for liking it and drawing my attention to it.

 

[Oncy]

Sorry Ryan.

 

[Ryan]

That's quite alright Andrew.

to be honest, I never find any of those things funny. Macca's one's included. It's nothing personal, it's just not funny to me.

Something about way too much effort and forced humour, for little return really. Like Little Britain.

 

[C/O]

What about mine earlier in the thread, Ryan? The conspiracy ones?
