      Brendan was listening to Pep and Mac today on the bench deep in conversation. Hadn't seen that at any time with Marsh and Pascoe.

      Something is different which is great.

      Do you think Brendan's taking a step back on the training field these days? Is he watching from the sidelines more?

      Think this is a big step forward for not only the club but for the manager Si....he learned his lesson I think realizes he does not know everything; where at times in the past he came off like he thought he did.

      Agreed, something a lot of us were banging on about last season with the "defensive coach" stuff. It's great to see organisation in our defence improving game by game. I thought we were ok v Bournemouth, but tempered that with it being Bournemouth, Stoke was decent but the mistakes were still just around the corner. Last night, although they scored a goal that shouldn't have been disallowed and could have had a penalty plus Giroud missing a gilt edged chance I thought our defending was massively improved on last year.

      It's fair to say a lot of that has to do with Gomez and Clyne who truly are magnificent players but there's also a clear message being drilled into them. Carra highlighted the organisation and that was very clear thoughout the game. We know Brendan has taken that step back from coaching and therefore the credit must go to of course his tactics but proportionally to his coaches too.

      I may have slagged him off to high heaven but I'm more than happy to be tucking into my first course of humble pie and hopefully many more to come for the season ahead, well in old SOD :D (Plus of course Gary Mac and Pepjin).

      Think this was confirmed by himself mate in one interview regarding the coaches, can't think of where it was so can't provide a link but yes, he's adopting a more managerial than coaching role.

      Best thing for me is seeing an improvement in our gamesmanship - even Joe Gomez looked to commit the odd tactical foul.

      Long may it continue.

      Very short stay at the club for him. Not long enough to cast any comment over him as a coach.

      Wish him the best in his future roles

      Very short stay, gave him plenty of stick before he arrived but I'll always remember him for bringing us Joe Gomez who I think will turn out to be an outstanding footballer so cheers for that you old SOD (meant with the greatest respect).

      Best wishes and good luck.

      I get the impression there was/is more to O Driscoll than many of us gave him credit for prior to his arrival. The fact he is getting moved on so soon oughtn't to be taken as a comment on his prowess, top managers always bring their own guys in with them. By all accounts he was the guy who spotted Gomez and as others have said, for that alone he ought to be assured of an excellent reception whenever and with whomever he ever shows his face at Anfield again.

      I hope he gets another good job soon. YNWA

      Poor guy seems to have got stitched up when behind the scenes it looks like Klopp was being courted actively once he became available.

      All the best for the future Sean.

      Don't think he was stitched up at all. It's not often an assistant manager will keep his job when a new manager takes over so he would probably have been expecting it from the moment it became clear Rodgers was skating on very thin ice. He's just unfortunate that it came so soon after joining the club.

      I'll be honest I'm not over fussed where he ends up as we never really had time to get any attachment to him and his CV before he was hired didn't exactly scream at as either.

      Wish him well but I'd be amazed if anyone mentions him again in the forum.

      Gary Mac seemed to take the lime light away from this guy, So we never really got to see what he was doing, even on the bench I noticed Gary Mac talking more and interacting with the players more.
