Lovren: I'll show everyone that they are wrong!

[tlw content]

Dejan Lovren says he is raring to go this pre-season so he can win over his doubters and “show everyone that they are wrong”.

 

The Croatian defender endured a tough first season at Anfield after his big money move from Southampton, but feels that a good pre-season this summer will see him return to the form that persuaded the Reds to pay £20m for his services.

 

Speaking to LFCTV GO ahead of Liverpool’s opening pre-season friendly against a Thailand XI this afternoon, Lovren said: “I didn’t do pre-season last year when I came here so it’s important for me to do the whole pre-season and be fit enough for the first game.

 

“It definitely affected me last year” he added. “When you are with the team for one month and when you train with them, it’s not the same as arriving and then in seven days you are playing the game. It was a difficult time for me”

 

Lovren is competing with Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho for a place at the heart of the defence this season and says he is confident that with a good pre-season under his belt he will be able to bounce back from last season’s disappointment and prove his army of critics wrong. 

 

“I know when I do a good pre-season then I know I will have a good season, so I can’t wait to start..." he said, before adding with a smile "and to show everyone that they are wrong!”

Where's the " hysterical laughter " option?

Dejan Lovren says he is raring to go this pre-season so he can win over his doubters and “show everyone that they are wrong”.

 

Noted.

 

I've no doubt that he'll prove his true worth: about 3 million, I'd say.

[aRdja]

Is there a chance he could prove us wrong for someone else?

[lifetime fan]

Still got a hole in his arse I take it...then he's shite.

[Kevin D]

Wish he'd fuck off.

[Bjornebye]

I optimistically chose yes. He had a few decent games in the last half of the season. We paid a shit load for him like so he can't be 'that' bad can he?

 

.....Shit. 

[manwiththestick]

Can't wait. Now go out there and lead some men.

[Mark M]

Even on his good performances he seems to have at least one mistake in him.

 

The newcastle match at anfield was a good example pretty solid didn't have much to do then out of nowhere "bang" boots a newcastle player in the box.

stonewall pen which wasn't given.

 

He's rash as fuck and I'm never confident when he plays.

[Guest Super Sub]

Reminds me of Audley Harrison in the build up to the Haye fight.

[Spy Bee]

He was quality at Southampton. I reckon he will be again, but I am not putting my hand in the bucket because I have a strict no hands in buckets policy these days.

Dejan Lovren says he is raring

 

Reckon he meant 'rearing', like a horse, you know. In his case, 'rarely' to go would be more apt.

[SasaS]

He will improve as he will be less anxious and will prove to be more useful, but probably not enough to change people's minds  He's not that bad, but he is also not as good as he himself thinks he is and this will always push him to rash decisions and hold him back in his career. Benched in a year, gone in two.

I do hope he makes me eat my words.

[Jairzinho]

He needs fucking binning.

[Jim MM]

Me, most fans, the manager, the transfer committee, FSG to the tune of £20m... To be fair, he does have a good record for proving people wrong.

[Lario]

Genuinely hopes he turns out to be class. But he's behind Sakho and Skrtel as it stands, so it's up to them to fuck up first.

[Anubis]

“I know when I do a good pre-season then I know I will have a good season, so I can’t wait to start..." he said, before adding with a smile "and to show everyone that they are wrong!”

 

[J-V]

He's never been class and will never turn out class.  The only thing he is, is a waste of fucking money.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I think he'll do better than last season; that's the height of my optimism.

 

He is what he is, a  player who looks better with some protection, but jittery as fuck when it's not there. You can see his brain implode when he has to make a decision, so he just runs somewhere - he's the CB equivalent of David James.

 

The annoying thing is, he's actually pretty mobile, but that mobility is part of his downfall, as every instinct he has is wrong. It's better to have a slower CB who can read the game than one who can cover ground but hasn't the brains to use the ability well.

 

I miss Hyypia. Watching him always reminded me of the quote in Goodfellas, about Paulie: "Paulie may have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody."

[SlugTrail]

He's fuckin shite

Tits or GTFO

I knew a few people who could help:

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

That's exactly what I was thinking of. 

[Elmyn Noos]

He's going to be fucking ace this season.

[ZonkoVille77]

He ends up on his arse every time cos he's fuckin shite. I'd rather see Nick the Greek back.
