Dejan Lovren

[danperkins]

Give the guy a chance! He's just come back from injury and was improving a lot previous to that.

Think he's absolutely **** mate.. few decent games under Klopp don't change that for me. Sell them all!!

At present I'm done with all our CBs, none of them are seemingly good enough. We need to find a couple of central defenders that can build a partnership and actually stay sodding fit for a period of time.

This is why he still has until the summer for me. I said it when he was in good form. He needs a full year to demonstrate he's worth a place in the 25 man squad next season.

He was way off last night, but he's just returning from injury.

However, I wouldn't be against binning all our centre halves. I agree with Rich that we need a couple of central defenders who can build a partnership from scratch. I'd be expecting Matip to come in. Whether we go for anyone else is anyone's guess.

I've been quick to slag him off in the past so it's only fair to praise him when he plays well.

Thought he was excellent tonight, looked calm and assertive throughout. One of his best performances in a red shirt.

[danperkins]

Done well tonight alongside Toure. Not sold on him but yeah credit where it's due.

Ditto.....

You know what he and kolo and Lucas all do that Sakho and Skrtel NEVER do.....they ****in talk. Lovren for all his ****eness......at least he ****in communicates with the goalie and his fellow defenders.

He can be a half decent squad player......a - because I think he would be happy with that and b, because we'd get two thirds of **** all back for him if we went to sell him

He was good but he's still prone to gob****ery. Kolo makes a great tackle on Aguero near the end, ball breaks to Lovren, nobody near and no pressure, he ****s it and boots it towards the corner line. Flanno busts his balls and keeps it in. Nice one Dejan.

much better though. future captain of newcastle

Is that the worst you point out? Giving away a needless corner (almost) in 90 minutes of football? High standards indeed!

Yes cos it's a clear indication of him still being prone to the patented Lovren clowning. If he cuts that **** out and keeps his defending simple he'll be good to have around.

[Alex]

Its amazing what can start to happen when a manager is even half competent at setting up a side defensively.

He was also guilty of a ridiculous lunge at Aguero, nowhere near the ball and Aguero glided past him. BUT other than a couple of wobbles he did well. It is so obvious that Klopp has told him to just keep things simple and by George it is working.

[dizzycat]

He's actually doing alright.

[Lee]

What has Klopp done to him?!

Played well again today.

Pen!!!!!
