Unfortunately for Lovren it was back to the bad old days against West Ham. For the goal, he gets a warning first which is the annoying bit, then when he gets up he loses it again. I've no doubt there is a good player in there trying to get out, but having seen him play many times last season with shot confidence I'm equally confident that he's not worth the risk against the Mancs unless we play with three centre halves (which I think we might TBH). The stepover thing is just one of the things that big, daft centre halves do, but the second goal is unforgivable.
Lovren was far from being alone in his sh!teness, but unfortunately for him previous misdemeanours mean he has less leeway than others. Can he come back? Yes of course he can, but will he? I don't think so no. I've a hunch it'll be playing for another club that he'll demonstrate again that he can be an excellent centre half.
