      Gotta admit I felt a bit nervous when I saw him in the starting XI today but he was fantastic.

      Ditto mate. Was nervous as F**k but he played a ripper.

      He had a fantastic game. He was a beast. I think that not think about the other player next to him made a massive differences.

      considering his difficulties since the WC I thought he was brilliant and another good option to have.

      I'm not sure. There were times we were lucky not to concede more penalties with Lovren.

      Would’ve been very unfortunate if a penalty had been given for the collision with Aguero.

      Reminded me a bit of the Lamela incident in the 2-2 last year with big Virgil so maybe we were due that.

      Otherwise he’d a smashing game.

      Worth remembering that - as Jürgen says - he’s an elite centre half........if he can just work on his concentration and reactions after an error........

      It was a really close one - when I saw it in real time, thought it was a peno.
      If given, we'd be bemoaning another mistake from him.
      As it is, think he's topped the MOTM poll.

      Had it been given would it have been right to bemoan? Seconds earlier he cut out a dangerous ball with a diving header which flew to Gomez who reacted poorly and played it straight back to Aguero.

      There could be light at the end of the tunnel for some of you he's been linked with Barca in January.

      Interesting to see him linked to Barca then again a lot of our players have been linked over the past couple weeks (Moreno and Firmino). As far as potential of Dejan it would be tough see it happening unless (a) they offer silly money or (b) he wants to push the move which he did to come to us.

      I expect him over the next run of 6 games to start half of them, especially after the great performance he put in vs Citeh before the break and VvD carrying that knock.

      Well Barca signed Vermalen so Lovren has every chance. They sign some strange CB choices

      Difference there is he went there on a free and was a known injury crock. Lovren is probably targeted for a more regular starting role with Umtiti as Pique winds down. Something Mina was supposed to be last season but didn't work out.

      I think I might be the only one to think Lovren should be ahead of Gomez?

      I get it, Gomez has been exceptional and is probably one of the best young CB's in world football, but I find he makes more mistakes than Lovren, though it's understandable as he is still young and takes more risks, but I just feel with Lovren in his peak and more experienced, he is still the stronger defender.

      Entitled to your opinion but I think Gomez on this season's showings is ahead by some distance looks far more assured and is quicker as well.

      I see what you mean especially if you value the way we performed in that run to Kiev which all of us do. I had a lot of admiration for the way Lovren performed in the second half of the season especially in that big tie with City (maybe my favourite CL two legged tie ever). And he helped his side get to the World Cup Final as well so he's had an excellent 2018, a stark contrast to the utterly dire performances he was putting in about this time last year where he was the butt of everyone's jokes and a totally pitiful figure. As you say, experience is important and is understandable why you'd give him the nod and I'm probably with you on preferring Lovren against tougher opponents. And yet the only way

      It has to be said though, Lovren's tendency to mouth off in the media is a distraction at best, unpleasant at worst. For sure he's no Mignolet or Martin f**king Skrtel in that department but he shouldn't follow their leads in that, like those two, he has been given enough chances to prove himself in spite of some pretty horrendous performances. The only difference being is that Lovren has repayed it with some excellent performances unlike Mignolet and that fool Skrtel who continued to repay second/third/fourth chances with their usual brand of f**k uppery football.

      Just on the end of a shocking tackle in the 5th minute of Croatia vs Spain game from Ceballos.

      Really went for him no doubt under instruction from Ramos after Dejans latest comments.

      Well that was exciting. Croatia with the winner in the dying seconds of the game.

      Lovren was furious with the Spaniards for not wanting to shake hands after the match and let it known in a post match video. He reminded Ramos of his pre match comments  where he was baited by Ramos and  called him a pussy. Also got a good elbow on him during the match if it was anyone else I would condone but given it's Ramos, good on you Dejan.

      Did the Spanish players really refuse to shake hands after the match, that's outrageous. My hatred of Ramos only grows, he really is a horrible human being, proper scumbag.

      The only one to shake hands was Morata. The others fu**ed off, Busquets also ripped Perisics shirt pulling him inside the box.

      Comments from Lovren were brilliant and directly aimed at Ramos. Loose translation goes something like "yea 3-2, 3-2 maestro (referring to Ramos) now you go talk sh*t to the media, pussy".
