      You just never feel safe with Lovren, never know what kind of game he's going to have and whether he can be trusted. 

      And for those reasons, he most probably shouldn't be a first choice centre-back at Liverpool.  If he has three good games on the bounce then people are hailing him and in all reality we all expect much much more.



      I Felt more comfortable with Skrtel at the back.

      Matip was just as bad today, I could honestly cry at the type of goals we concede, Sunday league defending!

      He has been good recently but last night him and a lot of his mates were sh*t.

      Defenders like keepers are going to be under a lot of scrutiny because their mistakes often lead directly to goals. Dejan isn't too bad but he'd be best as a backup that we don't need to rely on very often.

      The bloke's a liability.

      Not good enough for where this club wants to be, good enough for where this club is at.

      Said numerous times before he's good on his day but too inconsistent and mentally weak.

      Fine as a squad player but should not be starting games next season.

      Future Captain material this, passes straight to the opposition, dives in face first once the ball has gone. At least at the resulting corner he made up for it!?

      Would be comedy gold if it didn't cost us so damn much.

      You would have thought after the first mistake he made which cost us the goal, he would have learnt from it.

      I actually don't blame the likes of Clyne and Matip for the first goal because of how shocked they were at Lovren's stupidity.

      Nah to be fair Clyne needs bollocking for not sticking with Benteke, but Lovren wants F***ing for doing what he always does, dives in like a tw*t and gets made to look a F***ing divvy.

      True, but come on, put yourself in Clyne's shoes and ask yourself, wtf would you do if you saw what Lovren did for the first goal? Personally, I would just stand there shocked and think, WTF! and actually forget my duties :D

      Totally get your point mate and I was in total WTF mode when he did it. I just don't understand why he has to dive in so often. It's not like Lucas who actually judges his on the chance to get the ball, Lovren  just does it on impulse that isn't triggered by anything other than how nervous he's feeling is my personal opinion.

      He's not quick even though he has this jack russell style of running where his legs move fast but he doesn't which has always bemused me a little. He loses his head far too easily and is far too inconsistent to be part of the number 1 pairing at the back. It's right that we're looking, yet again, for another starting LCB but with both Matip's and Lovren's injury problems we need to be damn sure they're made of tough stuff.

      Must be something to do with Palace and to give Brendan his due I totally shared his reaction on this one too:

      Clyne was too far up the pitch to get back to Benteke, in this instance Matip has to do more to cut out the cross.

      But I agree with your Lovren statement really WTF.

      Wrong, Clyne is right behind Benteke when he score's the first.

      If Matip had thrown himself at that cross, he'd of probably put it past Mignolet himself!!

      Exactly Clyne is behind Benteke and never going to get to the ball before him.

      In defence of the big fella, he has more off field issues to deal with..

      Lovren, 3 years of inconsistency, if we can get back what we paid for him & his wages I'd be happy to cash in.

      So how was Matip going to clear it without knocking it past Mignolet or falling over and injuring his back again!!


      And yeah I'm taking the piss, probably currently on suicide watch and fed the F**k up with our constant sh*te defending.

      who ever decides on the timing of these things needs to have a long hard look at themselves

      good on Lovren, but he has a long way to go if he wants to be considered as a sure bet in the 1st team.
      far too many mistakes, far too much talking off the pitch.

      cant say i'm overwhelmed at this

      Or keep him and buy a better CB and Lovren becomes the 3rd choice.

      Lot of games potentially ahead and I'd not want to lose too many from this squad mate.
