KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum I haven't seen anyone comment on Lovren's performances

Lovren was near to ridiculed when it became evident he would be in the side for both legs against City after Matip's injury.

I haven't seen anyone comment on how impressive he was?

So dominant and aggressive, may be it suits him when we drop deeper, but two outstanding performances from him in both legs have seen us through.

He was reasonable last night....for a change.
...and so he fckin' well SHOULD be wearing the hallowed RED SHIRT.

Got many many more good performances to perform before any of us can start considering an upwards movement on the shyte ometer.

Bournemouth cock up this coming weekend anyone?

Both him and milner played well last night, they seemed to be on the end of every city shot and cross. Could it be lovren and van dijk are starting to gel as a pairing?

The VVD confidence factor I think same with karius although he looked very jumpy last night

I look at it this way - Lovren DID his job, he did it well, but he did his job... The VVD factor has filtered into the team, guidance and composure..

He did what he was paid to do. Nothing special

Lovern played really well over the two legs. If he is playing well since VVD has come in then there is the clue. Let's not forget what he was like in a lot of games pre VVD.

He is not some top player like you make him out to be. All players make mistakes he just makes too many to have any confidence in him.

I think the fact that Matip is injured has taken the pressure off Lovren a little as he is really the only option to partner VVD at the moment. I thought he was excellent today, as he was last week in the first leg.

He was named Carlsburg man of the match.

Lovern has shown a gradual and more and more consistent level of performance since the arrival of VvD. Can he maintain that improvement into the ongoing future? Hard to say given his previous lapses, the run in should give us some indication. Anyway his improved performances are to be welcomed, hope he can continue his upward trajectory.
Brilliant outcome from last night's game, well done Klopp and well done the lads.
