Well it's hard to fit real comedy in when there's so much truth flying all round the shop.
 
Skysports:
[article=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11669/9904585/liverpool-set-to-confirm-sean-odriscoll]Lijnders is not a direct replacement for first-team coach Mike Marsh, who did not have his contract renewed last month, and is understood to have been given a role centered around elite player development, having impressed with his one-on-one work with players at the academy. The Dutchman will also continue to work with the best youngsters in the U16 age-group at the academy.[/article]

[article=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/liverpool-to-confirm-sean-odriscoll-and-pep-lijnders-for-brendan-rodgers-backroom-staff-10367400.html]Lijnders will take on a newly created position, which will involve one-to-one work with first-team players.

Lijnders will continue to operate closely with the most excitingteenagers at the club’s academy, reinforcing links between Melwood and Kirkby, and enabling Rodgers to cast an eye on emerging talent at an earlier stage.

The Dutchman, who was recruited from Porto last summer and put in charge of the Under-16s side, has since impressed Rodgers and the academy director, Alex Inglethorpe, with his ability to implement tailored individual coaching programmes and improve technical aspects in a player’s game.

Lijnders is not viewed as a replacement for Mike Marsh and the search for a new first-team coach continues, with Liverpool hoping to assign an ex-player to the role. Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler are among those under consideration, although McManaman is thought to be content as a match analyser with BT.[/article]
 
He specialises in one-on-one. Does that mean BR will stop his touching face department and let teh assistant do it?
 
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.

I hope one of those broader themes is not losing 6-1 to Stoke. Or not capitulating every time we're in a position to achieve something.

It appears Rodger's really did learn from Pep's Barca:

If this picture is real, I don't care the context, it is one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen.

Didn't know where to put it, so I found something about BR's face rubbing exploits.
