Dejan 'Animal' Lovren


Jack

Recommended Posts

I think animal is a great nickname for Dejan. Loved the skill when he put in a monster tackle to win the ball by the touch line, then waltzed his bay past 2 defenders and put in a terrific cross to win a corner. Also got a great reception when he came back on after picking up a painful looking injury.

 

Needs a decent song too, rather than just a rehash of the JRod song.

Does anyone have a video clip of his step-over?

 

He's done it before and regardless of the fact that he's a centre-back, he seems to have one of the best right-footed, single step-overs I've seen! Its not just a goofy, going-through-the-motions centre-back trying a trick or a winger just throwing in an ineffective step-over just to be flash; he's really got the technique and bodyswerve down absolutely solid!

Posting pictures on Twitter ? This is for wimps.

 

John McGrath would accept such thing as part and parcel of the game, and be in the pub tonight for 15 pints, no complaints or pictures. (City forward perhaps in hospital or looking on the pitch at The Dell for his teeth still).

 

Tell that to kids today....

 

Apart from that, Lovren, top man, best defender since Michael Svennson without a doubt.

We so need a song for him. Best CB in recent times

for Saints. The next Vidic.

 

Really hope we don't stick with the JRod rehash song for him..would be a missed opportunity. It has to be Righteous Brothers - Lovren feelin'

 

We're trying hard not to show it - Dejan,

But Dejan, Dejan you know it.

We've got that Lovren feeeeelin,

Woah that Lovren feelin,

We've got that Lovren feelin now he's on, on on wooooooah.

 

And no clapping so no speeding it up. Winner.

I think the end refrain from Suede's 1993 top 10 hit 'Animal Nitrate' will be a great terrace chant. We could also all do Brett's bum-shaking and slapping along to the chant.

 

"And it's Dejan Lovre-oooo-ooo-on ooo-ooo-ooon

Now that Animal's on

Animal, he was Animal

An Anima-aaa-aal

etc."

Honestly, the moment he pulled a stepover at Old Trafford was the moment I fell in love.

Awesome.. I can just see someone ****ed up at an away game carrying on from the end of the song with the "baby, baby, I get down on my knees for youuuuuuu" part before we all join back in with another chorus.

 

Hang on tho... Didn't Top Gun recently get voted the #1 homo-erotic film of all time????? We don't want the fancy dress brigade taking things a step too far and wearing white navy/Air Force suits to the last game of the season.

A bit off topic but given how we rave about how what an outhouse Big Vic is and how Ricky is not a athletic I was surprised to see the weights v heights of the players, Vic only 1 inch and 1 kg bigger than Luke !!!

 

Cody Cropper the heaviest 91KGs and JWP/Calum Chambers lightest at 66KGs

 

Tallest - Gazza 1.96cm and Shortest Adam/JWP/Davis 1.73cm !!! I would of guessed Clyne but he is a lofty 1.75cm.
