Lovren is not good enough for us. I've said it way before last season when everyone was riding the 'under Klopp' wave. Oh player X improved so much under Klopp bla bla bla. Yeah, maybe Lovren improved after that horrendous first season and shameful start to 15/16. He's not garbage, he's a decent PL defender and he plays like one. The problem is that we are not just decent, we're in a title race and aiming for a top 4 finish at the very least. Lovren is not, never has been and never will be at that level.
He really pissed me off today. I dislike him personally so I tend to avoid giving opinions on him since I might be biased, but today he was objectively awful. On a different game he might not have been punished, but the fact is that he's the weak link in our defence and has been since he got here. Without a partner with whom he has a good understanding (Sakho and now Matip) he crumbles. His positioning is a definite worry and his cocky attitude does my head in, what with trying a sensational first-time cross with 10 seconds to go.
EDIT: Oh, and Milner was also terrible defensively today. The difference is that it's an exception to the rule.
