How good was Dejan Loven yesterday, Reds…?
The Croat made a number of crucial tackles and blocks against onrushing Manchester City attackers and helped Liverpool rack up our fifth Premier League clean-sheet out of eight.
Lovren had been drafted into the starting XI at the expense of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has looked tired and in need of a rest recently, with Joe Gomez moving to right-back.

Before kick-off, many Reds found this a confusing decision, because of how well the young Englishman has done alongside Virgil van Dijk.
But in fairness to Lovren, he was immense next to the Dutchman, who actually gave away the penalty at the death.
There was one sticky moment when Lovren potentially fouled Sergio Aguero in the box, but it wasn’t given and he actually grew into the game afterwards.
Not a bad third-choice centre-back to have at our disposal…
