Assistant manager at Liverpool, Pepijn Lijnders, is known for his deep understanding in player development. The Netherlands-born coach recently revealed one of the club’s strengths while speaking to journalists.

Lijnders was speaking to liverpoolfc.com about €22.00m Joe Gomez lately. Gomez can play different roles in the club’s defense section, but Lijnders said something few might disagree with.

The following statement was recorded by the club’s website before Liverpool’s successful contest with Fulham in the Carabao Cup race:

‘I have to speak about Joe [Gomez] because he used this opportunity. This guy, what he’s doing this season and the levels he’s reaching when he plays on the right and then he changes games and plays in the centre.

‘Then he plays on the left and he’s ready on the left on the outside but then he has to play inside from the left as well.

‘He’s a really good example of what we are all about. One player or even two players leave and then you have a lot of players who can play in different positions and that makes our squad so, so strong.

‘He deserves the biggest compliment because he’s probably one of the most consistent players in our team.’
