We need to sort out the goalkeeper coach as well. Every keeper JA has “coached” during his spell here has regressed so I’m still worried to be honest. Didn’t Pepe state that the coaching was one of his reasons for leaving, back in the day?It's easy to distract fat people. It's a piece of cake.

i am ready and willing to join any protest or chip in for a flying banner if it gets rid of this goalkeeping kryptonite.
thing about ja here;
Achterberg was hired by the club in 2009 and was promoted to the first team goalkeeping coach 2 years later in 2011. At the time of his promotion the current Liverpool no. 1 was Pepe Reina. Subsequently Reina seemed to struggle at the club, and following a poor 2012/13 season Reina was loaned out and eventually sold. His replacement was Simon Mignolet, and after a terrific start to his career in the 13/14 season, Mignolet’s performances began to drop as he became more and more inconsistent in the net.
The argument being made is that with this period of poor goalkeeping (including Brad Jones and Adam Bogdan), the underlying constant has been John Achterberg, and that Achterberg is the one responsible for the seeming regression of our goalkeepers. Unfortunately goalkeeping probably has the worst measurable statistics in football and consequently can’t provide much evidence for or against this claim, but Reina, Mignolet, Jones, Bogdan, and now Karius have all received widespread criticism under Achterberg’s coaching.
Both LFC legend Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville from MNF have been very criticial of Karius’s recent performances, and former Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar has even come out in the media saying that he believes Achterberg could be the one responsible for Karius’s poor performances as well. As fans it’s hard for us to really know what’s going on from a coaching perspective, but Klopp has openly praised Achterberg, as have players that he’s coached, and those are the only things we really know about him as a coach.Last edited by baitman; 24-07-18, 12:04 AM.removing all the weak links makes us stronger
