"Needs to replace Klopp when he leaves" - Lots of Liverpool fans gush over "future LFC manager"

Pepijn Lijnders spoke ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Arsenal and his words have led many fans to call on him to be named as Jurgen Klopp’s successor.

The Reds’ assistant manager joined the club in 2014 and many believe his continuation of Klopp’s philosophy would be the best route to take when he eventually departs.

It is a somewhat surprising viewpoint when you look at Lijnders’ record in management. In his native Netherlands he spent just five months in charge of NEC Nijmegen from the beginning of 2018, but was sacked following his failure to get the club promoted from the Eerste Divisie.

Taking over Liverpool would be a huge step up and a considerable task for a young coach with limited experience in the hot seat.

Nevertheless, one fan thinks the 36-year-old is being “groomed” for the role and others are impressed with the way he handles himself, as well as recognising the responsibility he has already been given for League Cup fixtures.

Here are some of the reactions from supporters calling for him to be Liverpool’s next manager.
