Hans Leitert was ONLY brought in, in February this year not 2016!
I'm certain it came about when Buvac was so angry with John Achterberg after Chelsea’s equaliser in the November 1 v 1 game, that he couldn’t actually speak to our goalkeeper coach.
Buvac blamed Achterberg for not getting Adam Lallana on the field quick enough, with Achterberg responsible for liaising with the 4th official and confirming Liverpool’s substitutions.
Joyce from The Times wrote:
“The mix-up prompted a heated response from Zeljko Buvac, the Liverpool assistant manager, who was furious with John Achterberg, the goalkeeping coach, at the failure to get Lallana on to the pitch.
“And he exploded in another rage when Chelsea equalised two minutes later and refused to speak to Achterberg, who liaises with the fourth official over substitutions, when Liverpool made a double change soon after, with Lallana and Sadio Mané eventually thrown on.”
Lallana was waiting on the sideline for minutes before his eventual introduction, with Klopp suggesting his arrival would have changed our formation to a back-five which could have hopefully defended Willian’s fluke-cross a little better.
I heard he also blamed Achterberg for not getting his tea order in on time one cold and wet March morning meaning that he had to have a cold cuppa. Not sure how true that is but sounds about right for our superstar goal keeping coach.

The clear indication of his ineptitude!

Before they also used to get McVitie's digestives and now they get Tesco blue stripe. He's even ruined the standard of our biscuits! It's a disgrace.

Since Achterberg is Dutch he also used to shop in Albert Heijn stores back in Holland.
That kind of quality and unerstanding of the game was why we brought him here in the first place.
Arriving in England he quckly switched to Iceland and Safeway, which was the beginning of his downward trajectory!
He's finished! Get shut. FSG out!

When Dick Advokaat was the manager at Sunderland I once saw him eating one of those.

To be fair to FSG, when they bought us they admitted they didn't know much about football (soccer) and were eager to learn...….
They sacked Hodgson quickly as we were awful and we had lost ant faith in Hodgson.
Employed Kenny & Comolli quickly and watched them spend allot of money on players like Carrol & Adam, to be fair they also got Suarez & Henderson who turned out good buys, then sacked them after we struggled in the PL but won the League Cup.
Gave Rodgers the job but never really trusted him with the money, then they invented a transfer committee to handle it, then sacked him after bad buys like Benteke and he struggled without Suarez.
Employed Klopp, who they gave money too, after he generated it initially, they left him alone to run the team and be heavily involved in who to buy, now they are giving significant funds to him.
I think after 8 years, FSG know more about running a football club, I also think Klopp is the first manager they really trust to leave alone and let make the key decisions, like buying players. Time will tell over the summer what we business we do, but it's started well with Fabinho, what will be key is if we let any key players leave for big money,
