To me Gerrard's decision should be quite simple. Become a coach under Klopp and learn from one of the best managers in the game right now. He could do coaching for midfield players. He could continue his mentor-ship to players like Can and Marko Grujic. He would be a real asset to have in the dressing room. And he could also benefit from working with Klopp.

Is it me or does Jurgen always seem irritated when reporters quizz him about Gerrard in his press conferences?

Think Klopp gets irritated when he's constantly asked the same question. He's answered these before and his stance hasn't changed. The door is open.

Gerrard will have to make a conscious effort to maintain a low profile if he takes the job or it'll end in tears. There's only one boss....

Not just you Yakka. Post Gerrards announcement that he was retiring from playing I was a bit surprised by Klopps reaction to some of the questions he's been asked about Gerrard, admittedly he's probably tired of them and would prefer to talk about the team and upcoming fixtures not Gerrards future HOWEVER he must surely realise Gerrard is a legend at LFC and such questions are to be expected.

Guess who's back 

Steven Gerrard: Liverpool to hire former captain as youth coach


Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard is to return to the Premier League club as a youth coach.

Gerrard, 36, who made his Liverpool debut in 1998, will begin the job in February.

The midfielder left Anfield at the end of the 2014-15 season to join MLS side LA Galaxy and retired as a player in November after a 19-year career.

"It feels like completing the circle, returning to the place where it all began," Gerrard said.

"However, this isn't a decision based on emotion - it's about what I can offer and contribute," he added.

"When I knew coming back was a serious option I wanted to make sure it was a substantive role.

"This gives me a great opportunity to learn and develop as a coach, while at the same time offering my knowledge, ideas and experience to the young players at an important period of their development."

Liverpool said he would bring "experience and expertise" to the role, as well as "unparalleled knowledge of the fabric and ethos of Liverpool football club".

Gerrard had been linked with the manager's job at League One side MK Dons after announcing he would leave LA Galaxy, but said the opportunity came "too soon" for him.

Gerrards wife Alex probably on the pop tonight celebrating more than most about this appointment.

Nice hes back and no doubt any academy boys raised as Liverpool fans will be over the moon.
