I see the Cult are taking this news well

Nobody referred to him as agent Lijnders yet?

I think the collective noun is Peeps.

Pep needs a counter balance in terms of tactics. Opposites do well as coaching teams. Think Mercer and Allision or Taylor and Clough

Mel and Kim? Smith and Jones? Starsky and Hutch?

Does Lijnders have short, fat, hairy legs?

If relying less on older players and slower build up and instead adopting a more expansive style, then it makes perfect sense to recruit coaching staff with experience of working and developing players in such a style.

Does this mean we'll score more from corners now? :-)

Every season my tongue has to perform more multilingual contortions when new players and staff come in, I only just managed to pronounce Tueart without faffing my bovril everywhere.

The Stones clearance game for me was the greatest game of football I've ever seen. Those 2 teams gave everything and whilst both had a different style , they were both absolutely top class and on that day we're the 2 best teams in Europe by a mile. they would've thrashed any other team from any other era that night.

The quality of the game was incredible and if he can bring some of Klopps ideas to the Etihad and helping us to play more direct then it will be a massive boost for us. I do think Pep needs someone with a different perspective and I also wonder if he needs a rival like Klopp to get the absolute best out of him. Pep v Klopp was incredible to watch.

I have a digital version of this match. If anyone is interested in a copy, PM me

That's just short of hate speech isn't it?

good question erm maybe yes because instead of passing back and waiting from them to get shape back we might just break n score
novel idea

I read something about this a couple of days ago and when no one mentioned it on here I thought it was another daft rumour.
I’m not certain I want an ex-scouser but hey ho what do I know! ;-) :-)

You know more than the vast majority on here bird

 

[Whether or not]

Interesting appointment if it comes off. He was clearly successful working with Bingo, who similar to Pep is hugely intense. But the footballing approach of Pep and Bingo are fundamentally different. So is he coming potentially as just the foil for Pep, or are we intending to evolve to a faster style of football. Could be both of course. The scousers are very upset, which suggests to me he is a decent coach.

 

[Blue warrior]

Watched a few videos comes across very knowledgeable and passionate.

Will be interesting to see how he and Pep share ideas.

Does this mean we're going big hoof, up and under, route one?
