I've seen the game now and there were a couple of errors. There were though a couple of errors by lots of players, I'm not sure the future captains were massively worse than anyone else's. I think we're just going to have to wait and see with Dejan. I'm absolutely convinced he'll be a top centre half, others are equally convinced that he won't. The thing which baffles me a little is how some seem to actually hope he'll fail, but I guess that's because he is unquestionably a "Brendan" in the "who signed who" columns.
The people who seem to hope he fails, who absolutely relish putting the boot in should he put a foot out of place tend to be the same ones who praise the boss through gritted teeth when we go on runs. Perhaps that's it, like Joe Allen before him the future captain has come to epitomise the Brendan era in some peoples eyes.
Just to clarify for any mouth foamers, I'M NOT SAYING THAT EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T RATE LOVREN FEELS THIS WAY OR DOESN'T RATE HIM FOR THIS REASON. I do feel though that there is a difference between not rating him and actually seizing on errors with glee. It's an odd one, but like I say we'll see on this one. For my part I stick by my statement 110%, I think he'll make a top centre half.
