Dejan Lovren

Atrocious.

 

Our last remaining weak point. Sure, Van Dijk can make him look half-decent against Bournemouth or Cardiff but put him under some pressure with attackers who are quick and have intelligent movement and he's a massive liability.

 

City's whole defensive gameplan tonight was to make him be the one distributing the ball. They covered up everyone else and just stood off him and dared him to do something. Which was usually just passing the ball to one of their players. That is, when he wasn't playing them onside or just standing off them in the box. Liability.

Would it be out of order to call him an incompetent shite cunt? Should have subbed him at half time for the training cone.

No point bringing a training cone on as Aguero treated Lovren like one for his goal. The most expensive but also the best training cone in the world. Perhaps you could call him the Carlsberg cone.

He does have that remarkably Mignolet-esque ability of letting PANIC utterly submerge him the moment he puts a foot wrong in a game. Psychologically he is not made of the same stuff as others in the team. He can be very good at times, even against very stern opposition (see: City last season in Europe), but he will forever and always have this streak in him. It is part of him.

Our 4th choice CB got done by the best non-Liverpool strike force in the league.

 

It's not a crisis.

Just a pity he keeps talking about going the season unbeaten and being one of the world's best defenders.

£20m for that heap of shite.

For me he doesn't have a clue, can't read the game, also  like Henderson too often delivers a suicide ball. Often, as tonight flat footed scratching his head gives cun space doesn't attempt tp close him down goal, We need Gomez back asp or buy a replacement this window simple as

He's not really up to the standard, but that's not really news and this year he's our fourth choice. It wasn't so long ago at all he was first choice and part of a back-line containing absolutely headless clowns of a left-back and goalkeeper, shipping record numbers of goals.

 

I'm fine with his role as it is now, but I'm fairly confident he'll be gone in the summer.

Singling out individuals after a flat team performance is bullshit, but he was poor tonight. Worst game he’s had in a while. 

 

He was exactly the same against Newcastle and Arsenal. Difference is the quality of the opposition.

 

He knows he’s slow, which makes him insecure and he backs off the opponent to try to gain a head start. This allows the attacker time and space to turn face to goal and have a go. Happens over and over again,
