Dejan Lovren

He was the one that let the cross in

That's just silly. Maybe stupid is more appropriate.

Goalkeeper chucks the ball to the forward and you find a way to blame Lovren for a cross?

[Norbs]

I think it is.

That whole press cuttings on the wall chat is totally cliched. But even if it happens, how does that make any material difference in performance? If motivation were that easy..? And even still, we should still be good enough to win, we should be more motivated.

All that happened here is Lovren was asked if he thought we could go the season without losing and he answered that he did.

Lacking the diplomacy to dodge having to answer, what is he supposed to say? “No, I think we will lose at some point”. I think we forget that these guys are answering questions in a second language with a press corp desperate to manufacture an angle.

But in reality the only place this kind of stuff matters is on forums.

The easy answer would've been 'we take each game as it cines'

[dom9]

With supporters like you lot, who needs enemies eh?

[danperkins]

Absolute bollocks.

Last weekend for example?

[dom9]

He clearly does. Every game. Although it doesn't always result in a goal.

[danperkins]

He clearly doesn't.

Only 86.8% of games then

[dom9]

He makes mistakes in nearly every game so I think i'm correct

He clearly doesn't.

[danperkins]

Are they though? That just feels a bit "Sky Sports News" sensationalism.

Hopefully no one is desperate enough to do the analysis on that but I bet if they did that actually wouldn't be the case.

Ok, so when our opponents say something and 'that'll be pinned up on the dressing room wall' or 'he's done our pre match motivation for us' gets said then it's also crap is it?

Yes it is. 100%.

These statements are usually followed up by a plethora of mistakes by Dejan. Of course it won't magically make us **** or lose but ffs he finds it hard not to open his big gob.

The agenda and comments about Lovren on here are utterly tedious.

If he scores a hat trick of own goals and gets sent off on Friday, I reckon there's more than a few people who would be doing somersaults of delight at feeling so vindicated.

We're top of the league largely with Lovren absent from the team. Could be argued that we've improved without him in the team. If there's anger aimed at him because he makes a match losing mistake after once again blowing his own trumpet then it's deserved, not agenda driven
