I don't quite buy the 'Rodgers favourite' tag Lovren gets FL as there is no way Brendan is going to risk his job this season just by picking a 'favourite'.
I just think he see's Dejan as his guy for whatever reason and Sakho will have to bide his time for now.
Well he spent a good bit of money on Dejan and if you remember the transfer was a bit contentious with Rodgers finally getting his man so I'd say there's an element of that to it.
I don't think he would play Lovren to spite his own job security, but at the same time, what's it say about his job if he consistently has to bench a player we played a premium for? I think Rodgers is walking a thin line on this one. I just don't see why Sakho has to sit to accomodate Lovren....sit Skrtel and play Lovren and Sakho. Sakho is a ball player and fits the way Rodgers wants to play. Skrtel is the least "Rodgers approved" of the three as far as playing style.
Hell I don't know....I'm not sure what's going on in our back line, just stick in whoever plays the best and gives us the best chance to win and I'll be happy. I just don't know that it's Lovren. If it is, all the better since we paid a crapload of money for him.
