Hi Eds
Hope your all well
In terms of Lovren can you see him staying this close season and where do you think klopp would have him in the pecking order in defence
i personally think 4th but interested to see the opinion of others.

{Ed002's Note - I expect him to stay. I cannot answer for Klopp.}

Lovren has fallen way down the pecking order. If there is no interest in him then he will stay. His wages probably scaring off many sides along with his injury problems.

We are sorted at CB with VVD, Matip, Gomez, Fab being able to cover and Lovren as backup.

Ed02 you answer for yourself and that will be very true🤗.

To be honest, I'd try to sell Lovren. It isn't that I don't like him but his stock will be high with him being a World Cup runner up and Champions League winner. I rate Matip as the better defender of the two, but if we were looking to sell either, we'd get more for Lovren than Matip, i think, just down to the fact that Lovs is a higher profile player.

Both are on quite high wages as far as I'm aware. Matip mainly due to him originally arriving on a free.

Things change quickly in football and people sometimes have short memories.

Matip was the source of ridicule for seasons. Lovren will stay and fight for his position and i wouldn't be surprised if he won his place back. He ends the season as 4th choice i agree, but that could change quickly. Eg matip and gomez are injured and lovren enters the best form of his career. We just don't know. As long as we have 4 good cbs then im happy. And young hoever looks good, and in last pre season, philips looked good. This time last year we were all hoping to sign a cb. Things have changed, good times are here

If vvd got injured i think lovren is the most suited to switch to lcb from rcb.

The main reason why I'd like lovren to remain is he seems like a genuine good guy with strong character. Many videos show him having a strong voice around dressing room, he is a good pro and klopp craves his type of persona. Sakho remember was playing better than lovren but klopp was happy to ship him on for the good of squad. Unless lovren seeks out a move we should keep him around, he seems happy with us, despite the horrid treatment we've shown him for years. Death threats I'm sure he was getting at one stage, any player who fights past that ridicule admirably has a strong character. Lucas and hendo too. These squad presences are hard to find, evidence clear in Lovren getting a contract not long ago despite fans moaning. He's valued from within.

I agree to a point har_red. But we haven't always been harsh to lovren. I remember the season before this one just gone. Lovren had a real bad run of form, was subbed after 30 minutes against? Was it spurs? And we voted him player of the month.

But what you say about him being a big presence in the dressing room, i think you're bang on mate. Big dejan is the last player in our squad who i would want to fight! I dunno, i reckon hendo could have a good reccy.
