KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Gerrard back as a youth coach.

So???

With the weakest squad of the big 6, Klopp will have punched above his weight finishing 5th or higher. Style of play entertaining on the eye too. Really hope he stays but if not I'd rather a Gary Monk than an eye-catching appointment of someone with no managerial record.

Now Stevie is under 18's manager.
Why am I uneasy about this?

Hopefully it'll keep him quiet for a while. He'll also have some accountability now which he hasn't had 'till now.

I think it's great he turned down MK Dons to manage the u18s
Hopefully he moves through the ages and is good enough for the first team one day.

Only you know. I am very happy that one of our greatest players of the centity is back home. With Giggs probably one of the most loyal players of the modern age.

Well said, I'm glad he's working with the youth players, what a great role model for them!

Yep, good news, hopefully he will help attract players who will want to work with him.

Shame we can't bring in the likes of Carragher to help with the defensive coaching. We have had defensive frailties for years, it amazes me with some of the great defenders we have had over the years like Hansen/Lawrenson/Nichol etc that we have not used them to help sort the defence out, at least for set pieces/corners etc. I think Houllier had one of our better defences in the last 20 years, he had Phil Thompson as an assistant, so maybe he handled the defensive coaching?

Well we had Steve Clark for a while under Kenny, and we were better at defending then. Suddenly we had one who could organise things. We had a points average of around 2 points per match from his arrival, coupled with an improved defensive record.

Where did he go after the Aston Villa fiasco last year?

Available?

You'd think Klopp being a CB could sort them out, but I've seen no evidence of it?

I despise the football Pulis & Allardyce play, but I wouldn't mind them coming in for a month over the summer to work with our defenders/attackers to organise them for set plays as we are woeful, we were lucky against Stoke as we could have conceded from set pieces.

I don't think Clarke has done anything after he left Villa under Di Matteo, Steve Bruce brought his own people in, not a bad shout.
