Lovren and Koeman on MOTD tonight

[9-3]

I don't think he will play for Liverpool again.

I don't think he will manage Everton again.

[Suhari]

Missed it, sadly.

If it is then I must be a very cruel person.

Steve Claridge on 5 Live reckoned Everton are the worst team he's seen all season.

 

Gave them 3/10 and predicted they'll be in trouble this season.

Lovren's head was still in Liverpool, he didn't remember to bring it to the match.

[ally_uk]

Called karma

 

Koeman is like a broken record clearly has lost the dressing room.

 

"Today we showed de Qualities"

 

No son you got smashed.....

I'll save Lord T the effort .....

 

Choose your Karl .......

been on twitter? this has to be tweet of the day ........

 

It’s ironic that Dejan Lovren can’t head a ball, considering that was the first part of him to reach Liverpool when he left #saintsfc

I watched it and I was p*ssing myself. Quite wondrous to behold.

[mrfahaji]

Glad we've got a new thread for this. Well worth it.

[SW5 SAINT]

It has to be a major failing on the Liverpool managements part, that they did not address their shortcomings at CB in the last transfer window. They were told they would not be signing VVD, so should have looked elsewhere.......

[davefoggy]

Nevermind Lovren, Fonte has gone backwards also!!! The curse of leaving Saints....

It's not a personnel issue, more a coaching problem. They have players that should, under a different coaching set up, be able to defend. I've no doubt VVD would improve them but he'd only be papering over the cracks.

At least those two get games.... Poor Luke Shaw....

[Shropshire Saint]

KOEMAN SACKED

[Sheaf Saint]

KOEMAN SACKED

 

Oh dear, what a pity, never mind.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Morgan as well

Basically, Pochettino and anyone who has continued to work with Pochettino are the only ones who have done well since leaving...

 

(I guess Lallana, though it took him some time)

[hutch]

That young Welsh left back did OK. What was his name again?

[hans gruber]

How the hell Lyon got 8 million pounds from us for Lovren I will never know.

[Jimmy_D]

How Lovren managed to make that £8M look well worth it for us is the one that's got me puzzled.

 

Liverpool seem to have well and truly destroyed any confidence he once had.

Obviously you can go back and find numerous examples, my point was more about who has left since the infamous exodus that summer.

[Give it to Ron]

Morgan as well

I can't believe how bad Morgan has become - he is shocking and plays nothing balls and making JWP look like Iniesta.

Its a shame to see him like that but he may now get another chance with a better manager but looks a shadow of the player we had.

[SaintAndy14]

In a somewhat frustrating season so far, news like this puts a big smile on our faces! I wonder if players/staff realise just how many personnel who leave Saints end up stalling/going backwards in their careers? Or whether it might be a factor in decisions going forward? Probably not, as most players/staff have a 'grass is greener' attitude or are happy to chance it due to their career ambitions. Would certainly be worth getting a few articles out there in public, though! A credit to just how well Saints coach/train/organise everything and everyone.

Very funny article in the Guardian about Lovren's performance yesterday:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/oct/22/liverpool-tottenham-dejan-lovren-undefending

 

Some highlights:

"Liverpool’s Croatian centre-back produced the worst half-hour on the pitch in recent memory, during which he appeared to have completely forgotten he was actually playing in a football match"

 

"collectively one of the worst displays of elite-club defending the Premier League will see this season; and individually a candidate for worst half-hour on the pitch in recent memory"

 

"this was a horrendous half-hour from Lovren, who appeared at times to have completely forgotten he was actually playing in a football match, startled to find himself in the middle of all that green, so many faces in the crowd"

 

"Exactly why and how Lovren was quite this awful, so bad his awfulness itself feels like an event, a happening with its own sheen of beauty"

 

"it was impossible not to feel the eyes drawn to Lovren who produced a genuinely scene-stealing piece of un-defending"

 

"Lovren did not just lose Kane, he seemed to lose all concept of what it was he was doing here, dressed in these strange red clothes, ambling about like a man recently winched up off the anaesthetist’s table, and watching on with only the vaguest curiosity as the ball floated over his head into Kane’s path"

 

"From a corner Hugo Lloris hurled the ball out to halfway. At which point Lovren felt the music swell, the choir begin to purr and coo and for just one tiny, fatal moment really did seem to believe he could fly"

 

"It was a poor decision. Lovren launched himself. The ball floated in a gentle parabola over halfway. Lovren floated in a gentle parabola under the ball, Kane sped away and offered the perfect pass for Son to finish."

 

"another attack down Lovren’s no-fly channel. The ball floated over Lovren’s head in an eerily familiar echo of what had passed before, a case of Dejan Vu"

 

"white shirts seeming to treat Liverpool’s No6 as a minor piece of street furniture to be swayed around without much thought en route to somewhere else"

 

"With half an hour gone Lovren was euthanised from the pitch, wandering off straight past his manager to sit three rows back, looking utterly stunned, still in his red shirt. Has there been a worse half-hour from an international‑standard Premier League player?"

Reminds me of when we got on his back so much at ours he had to be subbed at half time, the c***s got previous :lol:
