Dejan Lovren celebrates his late headed winner against Dortmund in 2016.

There was a two-minute interlude where Liverpool’s three-man attack squared up against United’s three-man defence and basically stalked them back into their own penalty area, like battle-hardened mountain wolves closing in on a flock of geriatric sheep.  Barney Ronay at Anfield @barneyronay Sun 19 Jan 2020 20.36 GMT

bullshit

he was very good...again some mistakes that are perhaps forgiven to VVD are always remembered with Lovren...

he won us all + was a great servant to the team in tranistional period leading to Klopp and even playing for Klopp

For Croatia he almost got to win the world cup as well...

how quickly people forget is sad.

Absolutely a time and place player. Was what we needed when we signed him. Can't be comparing him against players like Virgil as we'd never had got anywhere near that caliber of player back then.

Seemed to suffer massively after an injury layoff, but had a high ceiling when he was fully fit and had a run of games.

Seemed like a great character in the dressing room and leaves a Premier League, Champions League, World Club Cup and Euro Super Cup winner. All the best Dejan!
I think the same, can't stand him, but if you could have a £1million pound cheque or steve bruces head hollowed out and filled with pound coins which would you have?

Quite the opposite. He became part of this family and Klopp saw his importance. A model pro and could be relied upon to give his all. Klopp would have got rid of him earlier if he didn't value him or find him "good enough for this club".

Not true.

Lovern had quality yes he would frustrate even his most ardent supporters on a occasions but whenever he had a run in the side he was generally good. He's main problem would be that he would have a good run in the side then he'd get injured and it would take him some time to get going again once he got back into the side.

But overall he was very successful signing and formed an important part of the four quality central defenders we have had since VVD arrival. He was great around the dressing room also, which is often overlooked by fans as it's not something we generally get to see but is vital for a successful team.

Lovren probably isn’t good enough for THIS Liverpool side, but he held down a position and contributed plenty. We just evolved, but he more than helped along the way.

Apart from losing the ball in the air his ONLY problem was becoming overly embroiled in scraps with the opposition*. His sense of self-esteem was fragile in that he had to prove himself to others in a way that van Dijk never gets drawn into.

I miss the big lunk already, hope he does well from here!

Good luck to Lovren

An excellent defender at times to be honest and fucking hell that goal against Dortmund, never ever forget it.

I hope he does well there. Comes across as a very emotional guy but to be honest there's nothing wrong with that despite how things are portrayed

He did have some great games for us, also some abysmal ones. Great goal against Dortmund, one to remember!

Still, overall a valuable squad player. All the best to him in Russia.

Correct Dejan always did his best for us and loved the club so I don't know why some people like to have a pop at him.....the very same people who have never played at his level.

One bit of the open letter he sent stood out to me last week:

"The game of football is everything to me and I have tried throughout my tenure at LFC to be the best I can,"

He made mistakes, as all players have done, but more often than not he done his best for us and wasn’t nearly as bad as quite a few made him out to be.

Aside from the gaffs, I think his attitude permeated through the squad.  He was a bit arrogant (especially after the World Cup) and I think this had a good effect on the team.

I get that he was a character in the dressing room (and looking at his relationship with Mo) - I think he made a big difference to the atmosphere so when Klopp came along, he was a great fit

Thanks Dejan,

Nice one Dejan, good start to his Zenit career, one game and one trophy!

Is there any way to watch their games anywhere? I had a look on the Live Soccer TV app and couldn't see anything for Russian games. Might try and catch the odd one sometime to see how he's getting on if so.
