There’s very little evidence though that he’s a bit of a baby. For all we know he actually suffered those injuries. Joe Gomez and Matip have missed similar amount of games as Lovren if not more, I don’t see anyone accusing Matip of faking a broken collarbone against Napoli, or Gomez of faking a broken leg against Burnley. Klopp said it himself that Lovren wasn’t meant to start that night, and yet he did, and unfortunately he got injured for it. If anything he should’ve been applauded for his effort, and the club should have been made to apologise (in private) for being reckless with him. 

so as far as i know, he wasn't supposed to miss that game because of injury, he was supposed to miss it because we were resting everyone we could. 

 

i am not saying he faked that night. i am not even sayng when he cries off with a cold, he doesn't have a cold. but maybe he could play. i think gomez and matip are both deffo injury prone. i think it is possible matip might be a baby too, but i think there is less evidence for that. but for me matip and/or lovren can go in the summer if we can get more solid replacements.

X-rays might have helped Matip and Gomes though.

I'm balls deep on that.

 

Literally and figuratively.

I thought he had a great game today. I think Kloppo enjoyed his performance too.

 

[Captain Turdseye]

One of the best central defenders in the world.

That video was from the last home game, not today.

 

After today he probably got a hand job, not just a hug.

Looking at the sponsor logo, I think you’re right. Doesn’t alter the fact he played superbly today.

[dave u]

Other than Klopp and Dejan himself, I'm probably his biggest fan so I'm made up for him today. Loved his celebration after he made that block from Sterling.

Oh he did. That slide transitioning into a block was the fucking sex.

 

Once or twice he let a ball bounce instead of attacking it and I thought "oh here we go" but he did well and proved me wrong.

[aRdja]

Lovren would start for City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and United IMO.

[magicrat]

Very solid game today. Held his position well and no mistakes. 

 

[Harry Squatter]

I like his attitude in the fact that he has barely said a word about not being in the team this season. He has come in when required and done a good job. Obviously loves being here and will probably get sold at the end of the season but just wants to be part of a successful season.

[Anubis]

He was great today. Love the way he effortlessly pulled Sterling away from Gomez and shoved him away.

Piss off. I’m the #1 Lovren fan on here. You can stick with your boys Jason Puncheon and Ryan Fraser.

He isnt. He just wants regular first team football. If and I say if, we sell it, it's because he wants to leave in search of regular football.

 

Will be interesting when Matip is fit whether Jurgen keeps Degsy in or not.

If he keeps playing like this then he'll stay in. That's how Matip earned his place, so the same rules will apply I expect. Man in possession keeps the shirt until he plays himself out of it or gets injured.

[El Rojo]

He's generally been excellent ever since being subbed off in the first half against Spurs two years ago. We've a quality crew of centre halves.

I think Lovren is judged way too harsh. I do it myself sometimes for whatever reason.

At least now, it is by the very highest of standards.

This is how I see things, plus Lovren has played very well in Matip's absence. He's made a few mistakes, but then so have VVD, Robbo, TAA and Gomez and Milner when called upon. When we play with a high line and are on the front foot for large periods then our defence is bound to come under pressure at times when we lose the ball and the opposition plays it long for runners. Lovren has done better at covering that aspect of the game than in seasons past. We have the third best defence in the league, surprisingly only Leicester and Sheff United have conceded less goals.

Klopp said: “He is out. It's muscle this time – more serious than last time. We don’t have a timeframe.”

 

 

This roughly translates to "He may never walk again."
