West Ham Boss Defends Liverpool Misfit Following Horror Error
After keeping three clean sheets on the hop, the kind of niggling individual errors that put an indelible blemish on the last campaign popped back up in Liverpool’s game against West Ham United on Saturday with Dejan Lovren’s poor attempt to play the ball out from his own byline coming in for a particularly harsh reaction from the Reds faithful.
“For the first minute after the second goal I wanted to go under the table, somewhere! What can I do?” said the Croatian defender following the final whistle. “In these moments you have to keep your head up and to play the rest of the game. I tried everything but what can I say? It was a s**t decision and mistakes happen,” continued the embattled 26-year old. “I need time to have a full pre-season with my team and this is an important thing for me. But, like I said, mistakes happen. We need to keep our heads up in a tough moment. The other clubs are losing at home too.”
Following the match, Lovren was forced to close his Instagram account after being hit with a wave of abuse and death threats from people purporting to be Liverpool fans — something that is completely and utterly unacceptable on a number of different levels. As the Reds look to regroup for their trip to Old Trafford following the international break, the Croatian defender has gained some support from an unlikely source with West Ham United boss and compatriot Slaven Bilic pointing out that his mistake was not the only one made by the Anfield outfit on Saturday.
“If you are telling me Liverpool lost because of Dejan Lovren then no, no, no, no, no,” said the bemused Hammers boss. “It was a mistake but a lot of Liverpool players made mistakes,” he continued, before giving himself a well deserved pat on the back. “I can organise. I’m not modest. I know I can organise a team with my staff. This game was perfect for [Diafra] Sakho. He slaughtered them with his pace and the amount of running he did. And he didn’t have space to breathe.”
Top man Slav,
The scousers just cannot accept they were beaten by the better team on the day !!! Smashed !!!!!!
The lack of attention that the media and the know all fxxk all ex pro pundits to our masterclass performance
Is a disgrace . Instead it’s all about how bad Liverpool played and that west ham should never have won here
Because we are Liverpool and it shouldn’t have happened !!!!!!
Well guess what you bunch of arrogant ignorant wannabe good again living in the past tossers.
We murdered you 0-3 at your’e place and did it with a masterclass tactically astute manager who is we all
Hope going to make some history for us and it’s long overdue.
We can only get better ,
The media and the other tossers need to get a life and say it as it is and give credit where it’s due !!!!!!!
Anybody seen the hippo !!!!!!! Has he raised his head yet !!!!!!!!
Remember the great side Liverpool had under Paisley and the jock ,
Well they were all British ,!!!!!
It’s all about money now and although you have spent a lot , the foreigners don’t give a shi about the culture
And pride of pulling on the red shirt , it’s all about money !!!!!
And I’m afraid the manager you have at the moment is not up to it I’m afraid .
There’s no stein – Paisley – or fagan out there ,
You have to face up to it , Liverpool are not Liverpool as you knew them ,their on par with everyone else ,
You will win some and lose some like everyone else.
I’ve got a grin as wide as the Mersey and will have till we get beaten as it is part and parcel of the game .
COYI!!!!!!!!!S
