Nail in the coffin for Lovren that and in truth I think this game could easily be that moment where his patience and loyalty ran out with a few of them, it really is time.
Mignolet now has 13 mistakes leading to a goal since he joined, the most by any player in the same time, in fact 3 clear of anyone!
Henderson, many people were jumping on his back and it's true he wont be pushed out of the side quickly but today, when heads were dropping when things are going against you then you need that captain's voice to pick you up and charge you back into battle renewed.
Milner, as much as I thought he deserved to start, watching him desperately trying to recover against Son was a sorry sight, he's good for 20 minute cameos now and then, but for £100k a week or whatever we can do so much better. Reliable old stick that he is, he's just not good enough and age/the slowing with time has caught up with him, Son looked like Ronaldinho galloping away with such delight.
Lovren, many of us knew it years ago. The "future captain" talk became a good bit of fun but it always revolved around his massive propensity for not only committing mistakes but then compounding them afterwards. I saw Diego say in the match thread that he has the confidence of a 6 year old girl once that first mistake is committed and I really think that doesn't accurately describe it as it doesn't go far enough. He's like a beaten dog that is just so afraid of the ball that he cowers away from it, like the hand that beats him is how I'd describe it.
Too much faith not being repaid, too much loyalty and perhaps an overestimation of what 'potential' is there, or an overestimation of his own talents (some would call this arrogance) in trying to get them to the next level. Time to accept a few harsh truths with some of these players and cast them aside before they do irreparable damage to both us and yourself.
We can turn it around, it's not as if we haven't just set a positive record in the Champions League, but we're setting too many records when it comes to personal mistakes and no matter if you're Jürgen Klopp, Bob Paisley, Kenny Dalglish, anyone, you can't coach that out of players, it's in their nature and is a very fibre of their being.
He'll get it right.
