Dejan Lovren

[sir roger]

I don't think Lovren has been as bad as has been suggested on here. Put any 2 of Skrtel, Sakho and Lovren as Chelsea's back 2 or behind Barry & McCarthy in Everton's back 4 & they would look very good, but conversely put the likes of Kompany behind the Fred Karno's Circus we have had for a year & they would look shite.

 

I said on a different thread that we need to think hard about our shape now we don't have Luis as we can't keep playing 'next goal wins' type football.

[Dicko]

Not his biggest fan but if you are playing in front of Mignolet and behind Gerrard & Lucas you're fucked even if you're Baresi.

[Aldonose]

Yep. I said the same on the Sakho thread. It's not fair or objective to just start slaughtering the back four. We're not defending as a unit, and Mingolet wouldn't instill confidence in any back four at the moment.

[Red Banjo]

Valdes can't come soon enough.

 

Then we'll see if the defence is as much of a problem

[Aldonose]

I just don't think you can give Mingolet what he's lacking. All the work in the world on the training ground won't make him more commanding. It's either in you to be that way or it's not.

[Paco]

mignolet pulled off a great save late in the first half to keep it at 2-1 so I ll give him that much credit. the goals we re conceding come from a series on consecutive errors from several players.

 

in short we still cant defend as a team but its magnified by the fact we re not scoring enough to win games regardless.

[razor]

I know it's a small point, but when he was rolling around after the clash of heads, it reminded me of a soft striker rather than an uncompromising defender.  I like to see them shake their heads and attempt to play on.

 

He's not our biggest problem, that is a collective issue.

[Wicket]

He's had an effect on an already shite defence, I'll give him that.

 

In no way, shape or form did I think it was possible we'd be worse at the back this year, not saying he's the root cause but I sure ain't seeing much by way of organisation.

Dejan Lovren - Who am I?

[Mr T]

Bring back Djimi Traore.

[J-V]

Like a fly to shit where the ball's concerned.  Unlike a fly he has trouble connecting with the intended target (ball).

[Aldonose]

Fucking liability. How many times does he get the wrong side of his opponent? Too many for it to be a one off.

[Jairzinho]

You wouldn't get 20m Somalian shillings for him at the moment.

[magicrat]

You wouldn't get 20m Somalian shillings for him at the moment.

I think you should refer to Nightcat on that one, Maybe a goat as makeweight 

[lamai]

Needs to be dropped he has been absolutely shite. Basic defending seems to be a problem for him

[smilezzz]

Our defence's confidence is shot, when you play under such pressure, mistakes creep into your game. Once we win a few on the trot, the entire back line including the keeper will be playing much better.

[aRdja]

Joke of a player. Hence the name, Lolvren.

[Josef Svejk]

Where's Brigant Moloch?

[eeyore]

In order of how disappointing they have been

 

Lovren

Markovic

Balotelli

Lambert

 

To be honest the bottom three have been equally bad but lovren is taking the piss

[El Rojo]

It's getting increasingly difficult to blame the goalkeeper and midfield for this guy's ineptitude.

 

And shouting a lot does not make somebody a leader.

[aRdja]

To think that we lost Agger for this con artist.

[Kevin D]

It's getting increasingly difficult to blame the goalkeeper and midfield for this guy's ineptitude.

 

And shouting a lot does not make somebody a leader.

Are you suggesting that saying someone is " a good organiser" is utterly meaningless?

[aRdja]

Are you suggesting that saying someone is " a good organiser" is utterly meaningless?

Not, when you refer to someone like Sami it Carra.

 

Yes, when you refer to Lovren.

[alles ist gut]

Dejan Lovren - Who am I?

 

 

Henry Kelly?

[sir roger]

Was at the game & don't remember him being as bad as everybody else is saying he was. I will have to watch it again on LFCTV. I think he needs to calm down a bit & stop trying to prove how good he is trying to get in front of his striker & being caught out regularly.

 

Comforting watching Tommo on Sky, and finding out Mangala is shite now & he only cost £32m
