Am I the only one who's not actually freaking out about lovren getting a new contract?
When he and Matip have been fit they (bar a few slip ups) have been pretty solid and they have only really had half a season to play together.
Centre backs only really work as a partnership, shipping in another CB will mean starting from scratch.
I don't think he's world class or anything like that, but I don't see many alternatives out there that Klopp could go for that would be better and have an immediate impact.
Besides I see our defensive woes being down to the left back and right back failings this season, that's where we should be spending our cash, lovren and Matip will benefit greatly as well due to more stable flanks.

I wouldn't be concerned if he wer kept as a backup. But for those wages, he's starting. I do think he's decent and has room for improvement, which hopefully he will do. I'll support the player in the Liverpool shirt.
Come to the think of it. he's like the rest of the team. One day great, the next few average, then a woeful game.

When lovren just defends like in the derby he can be ok it's when he starts thinking he's Beckenbauer that the problems start, then he tries to make up for a mistake by doing something mad.

The manager must think he can work with him so we'll have to trust him here.
