I think lovren had an immense game, constantly stormed forward and nicked the ball in front of players. Had city not scored those two late goals he would have got it. Looks like VVD signing is having a positive impact on him.

I think Lovren made an error on last goal. looks like he tries to go forward to head the cross away and misses it totally. Just one of those errors he makes a bit to often. But otherwise he played well.

{Ed001's Note - it did end up with him ducking under the ball sadly. Gutted for the lad as he has dealt with so much crap in his personal life he deserves to succeed.}

Could VVD be the perfect partner for him Ed?

{Ed001's Note - he does need someone to talk to him during the game. In fact the whole team has missed that gob at the back keeping them in line in recent years. Van Dijk does provide that, so could well be.}

Very true, I hope Lovren get's a player of the month award, just to show true fans really do support him no matter what, as you say he has been through so much, he deserves our support. He gives it his all, sure he's not a great player we all know that but he is human and has been through a hell of a lot, things that can drive players into mental illness, let's try and help him instead of judge him. He had death threats a couple of months ago due to some shocking mistakes in the game, this is too far and needs to stop yet now having read a post this morning it's started with Karius, disgusting.

There will always be mistakes. With the TV coverage now we can't miss a thing. As fans we really need to try and stop the rot of blaming players so quickly and get behind them. Then we might carry on seeing transformations like we have in Ox and Robertson at least yesterday. I get it when players have been given the chance and they don't take it but the karius thing is disgusting how far fans go.

Lovren did seem to duck out on the third goal but I saw Robertson also had one hand on Gundogan when the cross came in and then lost him. Just think it was a lack of concentration from them all a little bit to be honest. Thought Lovren had a good game apart from that.

I don't for a second believe real fans would send death threats to anyone.
This is just mentally ill people who would have done it anyway to somebody else.
Another version of a keyboard warrior.
Sadly it'll only get worse until someone or a few individuals are made an example of for doing it.
Disgusting behaviour!

I agree with you ed about lovren he took an hell of a lot of flak a few months ago but got so much support on this site ok he still makes mistakes but don't all players well done to all of yous out there who give him the support he needed.

. I saw a side to Louvrens game yesterday that I didn't see a lot of before. That anticipation he showed in nipping in and pinching the ball. Previously, he'd wait before reacting. This often resulted in him making late tackles and conceding what looked like clumsy fouls.
I reckon someone is coaching him. And very well too.
Could he do a job as a defensive midfielder?

Easy way to fix the death threats problem - all social media requiring you to register a credit card to use it. Can stay anonymous to the rest of the world if you choose but if you break the law, they know exactly who you are!
