Yep. Nobody in a red shirt would get 5 today, but Lovren wouldn't even get 3. He gets bullied as much as Skrtel used to. That said, it's the midfield I am shocked at. Credit to Watford as they did play well, but we couldn't pass the ball ten yards. Dire.
You played well - hard but fair. I like deeney - he's a test for any CB. He rightly avoided Virgil and went for the weakest link. He tried that at Anfield, but Gomez stood up to him. Thought Dacour(sp) and Hughes bossed the midfield by a distance. Good luck with beating the drop.
Lovren was ****. No question. He has such a negative influence on the team that ‘maybe’ we could have avoided defeat if he hasn’t played. BUT every single player needs to take responsibility. Disgraceful performance.
I said this Winter break was a **** idea, killed all momentum and allowed thoughts of winning the title in. When the games are coming every week the players don't have time to sit and think about anything other than the next game.
My issue here lad, is what exactly us the point in pulling him apart. I know it's your favourite game, but it just glosses over how ****e the rest of the team where. Since his injury fab has been gash. Taa was awful all night. Wini was hardly in the game. When playing Watford the defense should have **** all to do because we control the game from start to finish, unfortunately the attack and midfield couldn't hold onto the ball for more than a few seconds and certainly didn't put anything together when they did manage to put more than two passes together. But that's all down to lovren being ****. We where lucky against West ham, out fought by Madrid, ****ing lovrens influence again I expect. I like your point usually but your blind hatred toward a player clouds your view.
Thought he was awful today, the worst part was his effort, there where a few times when he just lolleped back after losing the ball. Pulled the entire defense out of position as he wandered back into the back line.
Your man Arnold was way worse, he got rag dolled by Deulofeu before he went off, and then was at least partly at fault for 2 of the goals. The last one being an absolute howler that cost you any chance of getting back in the game. Scapegoating Lovren was obviously going to happen, but it’s merely a deflection from the reality.
