5 players rated more by managers than the fans

#1 Dejan Lovren

The Croat isn't very popular among the Reds

How he is still a Liverpool player, let alone their first-choice defender, is a wonder of the highest calibre for many, many Liverpool fans. Some of them would rather have a lamp post in front of the goalie instead of the former Southampton man they once so incessantly craved to have in their team.

I think this is what life is all about – the grass, as it would seem, is always greener on the other side. However, the truth is that Lovren’s performances at the Anfield have been as erratic as it could get. The former Lyon man isn’t someone you could rely on if you are a team that aspires to challenge for titles on a regular basis.

But it appears as though Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has his full trust on the Croat as he believes that there aren’t five better defenders than the ones that he already has at his disposal – and that, obviously, involves Dejan Lovren.
