Dejan Lovren

[danperkins]

Wasnt great for their goal but was our best player other than that.

[Kenneth]

Talk me through what he did wrong when we conceded because our CB was lying in the centre circle. I am genuinely interested to know what he should have done other than successfully play him offside.

[Buzzo]

Yeah Rio said similar that Dejan gambled on the offside, incredibly harsh. Given Virgil would have been stood next to him it is moot.

It was a perfectly timed run, onside by a ball hair.

Keeper could have done better, but it was a good finish.

[BobTheCharmer]

Scored a crucial goal. The one player in the squad I'm not a fan of is playing fairly well of late. Excellent stuff dejan, keep it up. Just as well we kept hold.

[Slinky Skills]

I'm not a fan of his but it's clear he has a strong mentality and that's crucial to this team. He was decisive at half time challenging the ref alone on what was a ****ing shocking first half refereeing performance and rightly so too. He also pops up with some vital goals when needed. That header may have just put us through to the knockout stages.

Rio was talking absolute bollocks......after-the-fact analysis that the likes of himself and Carra have specialised in within the punditry circle.
Perhaps he was under the impression that Dejan had the speed of a juiced up Usain Bolt not only to cover the run, but also cover the area vacated by a CB on the deck.
Of course, 'that's what I'd have done Rio' has some weird recollection of his own ability to suggest that.

Lovren made a percentage call of a bad situation and only for Robbo being slightly the wrong side, it would have been the right one.

No problem with him tonight. Good performance all round, important goal etc

BT pointed it out pefectly, one time i agree with Rio.. bad situation but wrong gamble. Watch it if you are genuinely interested and if you're not don't

Man of match anyways

[Myo]

Very good game from Dejan, I think most of us agree on that, it's just the typical crap house from certain punditry and fans that will place him as the scapegoat ...also espn 6/10 match rating for him...wtf is that all about?

I would dig out the Rio analysis and see if he has a point, but I couldn't give a flying **** what Rio Ferdinand thinks about anything so won't.

Yeah, all he did was explain why the goal happened but he also apportioned blame. It was bollocks.

Every goal is avoidable when looked at by a pundit in a studio.

Tbf I thought Wio was defending Deggsy and said it was the normal gamble a defender with less pace would make.

"A defender with less pace" and then went on to say that he wouldn't have, cos he's a speed machine...his analysis of their goal was wrong, in my opinion, there was no blame to apportion anywhere, apart from at the ref and the Napoli player that took Virg out the game.

[Maxiedge]

They're just looking to twist the knife in at any opportunity as we've had a few decisions go our way recently. It was a clear foul on VVD but let's not dwell on that or show the proper replay.

[Roboklopp]

Was it a foul on VVD? I couldn’t see it tbh.

[Jas]

The Napoli player made no effort to play the ball, he just 'played' Virg instead, a bit soft but definitely one that could have very easily been given.
