Jamie Carragher believes Pep Lijnders is already helping to turn Manchester City into Liverpool 2.0. The former Reds coach was appointed by City as Pep Guardiola’s assistant this summer after a difficult spell with Red Bull Salzburg.<\/p>\n

Carragher has already discovered the impact of Lijnders on the city, but Guardiola explained why it was equipped with Outchman. Speaking of his expertise, the Spanish tactician states:<\/p>\n
