I have never been more terrified of watching Liverpool matches than when Lovren is playing. My god that man is a disaster waiting to happen.

He lunges into tackles when left completely isolated, drops back to player offensive players onside and has the co-ordination of a drunk zebra in stilts.

If this man is still our starting centre back by the end of this Transfer window. then we are in serious trouble. Lovren is decent enough to be back up, nothing more. We cannot expect our offensive players to score 3 or more goals every game just to compensate for a plentiful of conceded goals.

Also, placing Moreno and Lovren together is a recipe for disaster. Neither player understands the other or even communicates. Both are rash, although Moreno seems to be improving in this aspect, and get caught out of position so often.

It is obvious to see that Moreno is improving, if not slowly and steadily, but Lovren is still the same panicky, lazy player that we have seen for years. That sliding tackle in the second half, when he could have just held the player up, was appalling. It was nothing more than lazy, not bothered to follow the run so instead I'll make desperate lung and, if he gets away, I'll just say I tried my best.

We need a new centre back, pronto. Preferably someone who has leadership qualities, someone that will command his back line, keep them focused and ready, because not a single person in our back line can do this. They all look tentative and afraid to speak out.

Hell, the last player to install confidence in our back line was Carragher. and he was in his mid thirties and slower than ever. At least Carra ordered the players around, no doubt certain team mates resented him for getting on their backs but you need these kind of players. Someone to keep the troops in line, wake them up if needed.

I am hopeful Klopp and the transfer committee have a player in mind if it is not Van Dijk. If we stick with Lovren. then it will be the death of our push for top 4. You cannot win while carrying a player like this. it will only end in disappointment.

If he's not good enough to start, he shouldn't be there at all as it weakens the squad.

There should be hard competition in the squad for the jersey, as that is how you improve, through struugle to better your rival.

In A tricky European away tie We got the vital away goal advantage to bring back to Anfield,

But we are miles away from us keeping a clean sheet.

Brutally truthful and I whole heartedly agree. We got the win but result could have been horrible. The squad needs 1st team players to improve upon last year's team.

Moreno has a nightmare but Lovren was partly responsible for that. The number of times LOvren got outsmarted and someone went past him could have cost us 5 goals last night. Sorry to say this but he has to go, along with Klavan. Fail to sign a CB in this window, then Klopp should go too.

Again Lovren being hammered, did you guys not watch Matip? He was shocking again, yes Lovren was poor but I think Matip was worst, again.
Both need to be replaced in my opinion if we are ever to challenge for the title for a full season.

Lovren was far worse so so rash in the tackle his positioning is much worse.
