On 31 May 2012, Liverpool confirmed that three from Swansea City – assistant manager Pascoe, performance analyst Chris Davies and performance consultant Glen Driscoll – would join the club with immediate effect following manager Brendan Rodgers in a move to Liverpool.{{cite web|url=http://live4liverpool.com/2012/05/lfc-news/rodgers-not-joining-liverpool-alone |title=Rodgers Not Joining Liverpool Alone... |publisher=live4liverpool.com |date=31 May 2012 |accessdate=10 June 2012}}

On 30 December 2012, Pascoe took charge of the Liverpool team against Q.P.R., as manager Brendan Rodgers had a virus. This was the second time Pascoe had taken over managerial duties, having previously taken charge against Arsenal whilst at Swansea. Liverpool won the game 3–0.{{cite web |url= http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/matches/2012-2013/epl.html/qpr-vs-liverpool |title= QPR vs Liverpool |publisher= premierleague.com |date= 30 December 2012 |access-date= 2 January 2013 |archive-date= 26 September 2015 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150926210214/http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/matches/2012-2013/epl.html/qpr-vs-liverpool |url-status= dead }}
