[Tee]

Real fans appreciate Dejan.

What about Barca fans?

Wasn't good, wasn't terrible. I suppose that has to be viewed as an improvement. Hopefully Sakho will come in for him sooner rather than later.

[Darkon]

Overall he played well I think. He didn't look particularly well placed for Dzeko's goal, were drifting a bit leaving a lot of room between him and Skrtel IIRC. Still a fantastic pass by Aguero but he left a lot of space for Dzeko to stand in unmarked because he didn't move over properly.

Other than that solid as the rest back there.

Defensively he was ok actually, just his passing that let him them. He's a wee bit of a panicked on the ball to say the least.

[DannyMan2006]

He wasn't great and his passing was abysmal. Same as many players today tbh at the back. But when you consider it was City and not Wrexham, I guess it was actually a good performance! Ha ha

[Buzzo]

Earlier in the season he seemed to make at least one mistake per game directly leading to a goal against. That's not happening, it's a forward step, albeit a small one. Looks nerves on the ball, but a decent performance in a big game.

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Agree with what most are saying, that he wasn't great but he wasn't horrible either. We still need Sakho back but with Lovren showing marked improvement, we don't need to rush the former back.

[Rich]

I can only echo what has been mentioned, he was ok yesterday. Certainly shouldn't keep his place when Sakho is fit but at least he isn't making game changing mistakes.

I noticed that, he was running back to his position once, I think it was for their goal. When he leaves there is just a gap behind him, he should trust the midfielders to deal with their jobs. Is there a Vine of their goal anywhere?

He is a bit strange positionally, he's so easily dragged further forward.

Is he trying to find his penalty?

Liverpool central defender Dejan Lovren was not involve don Sunday but is also injured and will miss Croatia’s match against Norway on Saturday.

The Croatian FA reported Lovren has had a recurrence of an abdominal wall injury and will have to miss the European Championship qualifier in Zagreb.

The same problem prevented Lovren joining Croatia for a Bulgaria qualifier in Sofia last year.

A real headbanger display that from Dejan.

Its a shame about the swinging tackle, heading directly to a Newcastle player on his own and trying to break Can's ankle, as other than that he had a relatively decent game against **** opposition for about an hour.
Made a decent tackle or two and intercepted well, but for a period of the game that Lovren-Can partnership was something that should come with a health warning.
