      Lovren will never be good enough for Liverpool, ever. He is too flimsy, too mentally fragile and plays like Bambi on ice. His positional awareness is non existent along with his depth perception. He lacks the basic qualities of a central defender and is a liability. Too many times have his mistakes cost us games.

      Virgil van Dijk should not be babysitting an established Premier League defender, this is Liverpool Football Club not West Bromwich Albion.

      Personally i'd go with Gomez for the rest of the Season. Neither Klavan or Matip are good enough either. A major area for redevelopment in the Summer.

      What was up with Dej being "unavailable" today? Does that just mean he wasn't selected for the 18? Has he skipped town or what? Of course that was about as angry as I've ever seen Klopp after Lovren committed that foul last weekend.

      I'm glad he wasn't selected, mind, but I never quite heard an explanation of where he was? Has he been in training pics this week?

      EDIT: Reading the official site update on Emre Can's injury and Adam Lallana's status, not a mention of Lovren. Hmmmm.

      EDIT 2: official site mentioned "minor ankle issue" in pre-match lineup news.

      I give Lovren plenty of stick, tonight he was excellent. Never seemed too big for him. Keep it up Dejan.

      Was immense.

      Two instances where he flew in head first for a challenge with a City player coming in with his boots/studs. One was Silva who was penalized for it, for me it shows the character and type of player Lovren is.

      Put his head where others would hesitate to put a boot in.

      Hopefully this does wonders for his confidence now and he can build on from here.

      Alongside VVD won absolutely everything that was thrown into our box by City.

      Massive performance.

      Goes into beast mode alongside VVD who's not got much of a mention as the others but what a performance from our CB...

      Hope he didn't get doped like Sakho :P Seriously, he was fantastic. He showed that he has the talent to play as CB but can he finds it consistently ??? Only, he knows!

      100% aerial duels, tackles and passes.

      2 blocks and 2 interceptions against City.

      Reminded me of Sami and Carra.

      VVD was Sami, calm and composed, always in the right place, happy to have the ball.

      Lovren was Carra, throwing himself about, winning headers, anticipating, really giving it to the City players, he was everywhere.

      It was so satisfying to watch. I have criticised Lovren a lot of times before but on Wednesday night he was a beast.

      Yep - my sentiments as above. I've criticised him plenty this season alone but he was superb and should hold his head high.

      Not his biggest fan as he will always let you down but the last 2 legs against City he has been immense.

      Which suggests it's all mental with Dejan.

      Seeing how he does not need to think, organize or worry about anything other than his job when paired with VVD...he might be just fine going forward.

      Have we found the perfect CB partner for him? He was brilliant in both legs against City, seems to be a better player alongside van Dijk.

      Been a huge change in his game. A couple of those small errors, in the past, he would fall apart but, now, he stands tall, doesn't panic and I'm guessing that's a combination of VVD and Klopp.

      Klopp see's him as potential to be one of the best in the world.

      That does me.

      Yup and Karius...he comes for everything there is no indecision and that is something both CB's can live and deal with because they know it will happen and knowing makes all the difference.

      Is it daft I felt proud of him last night?

      Thought he was immense really, especially in that first half.

      VVD was at fault for the goal but after that their partnership and the performance of the full backs helped to keep us in the overall lead.

      Thankfully the midfield and forwards found their bollocks in the second half and took the pressure off.

      Dejan is a player reborn since VVD joined.

      It's like we signed two top class CB's in January.
