I haven't edited it honest!

I laughed out loud at that

I thought that was Yozza's attempt at a Shaggyism.

Wasn't any need for it

I think Lovren is so representative of people's perceptions about Rodgers' issues of talent assessment, loyalty, his targets vs committee signings, having "favorites" and having others out of favor, etc that his performances (and today was just bad, especially in front of goal and the way he was beaten for Malaysia's goal) are the ultimate expression of what frustrates fans about Liverpool's underachievement. I *almost* feel bad for him, but when he comes out saying "I can't defend alone" and "it was different at Southampton" (because you had Schneiderlin and Wanyama babysitting you), etc-- I just don't see how he wins over the supporters.

I am a massive fan of Sakho, and I am absolutely baffled at what is going on here. Lovren looks a shell.

For me Sakho has to start ahead of Lovren, while neither have been great for us Sakho has been a class above Lovren. I think Lovren is a better player than he showed last season but he still seems prone to errors. I found the interview a little odd, it would be one thing if he was our best defender and we were defensively poor but he seemed to be trying to pass the buck, which I didn't like and I worry that he won't be able to play to the necessary level unless we change to accomodate him.

Rodgers must know - he must - that if he starts the season with Lovren in the side ahead of Sakho he will be making a rod for his own back from the word go. Quite apart from it being a plain piss poor footballing decision, he really needs the fans onside. As BrooklynRed rightly said, Lovren kinda represents how many fans view Rodgers and his assessment of players. Lovren is a total disaster, one of the worst defenders I can ever remember playing for us - while Sakho is largely excellent. There would be no justification for making such a decision.

Think it would be very stubborn of Rodgers to go for Lovren. Based on last season's performance its no contest Sakho was the better player. If he wanted to go for the "New season, clean slate" approach, even then Sakho has been superior in every department.

For me, playing Lovren would be an unnecessary risk.

Hopefully the Malaysian **** up will be a timely reminder to Rodgers of the face rub moment Lovren caused him during the palace game towards the end last season.

He's a ****ing car crash and he should be shown the door asap.

[meffin]

He made an amateur look like Drogba in his prime- shouldn't be near the first team. Ever

Thanks Bender.

I wouldn't even want this guy as a ball boy. We'd have to go off at half time to the club shop to buy some more balls.

just having a chuckle at the early posts in this thread. This guy has everyone fooled - more so than not so super Mario.
