Has just claimed to be one of the best defenders in the world.
Speaking to beIN Sports after Wednesday’s win over England, Lovren said: “It’s something special for me.
From my point of view, people said I had a difficult season but I don’t agree, I think people should recognise that I am also one of the best defenders in the world and not just talk nonsense."

Dejan Lovren

It was what, his 6th game in about 20 days having played every minute of each.
He constantly won and challenged every ball hit into and around the box since about minute 40 of the Croatia game.
I think everyone's allowed to make a mistake in those circumstances. Especially against Mandzukic & Perisic, two of the aerial greats in world football. The fault lies with the tactics and team selection by that point of the match.

I'll defend Stones. I think in the final 10 minutes of ET switching off briefly is fine - considering the amount of aerial duals he won all game (6). He is allowed to slightly misread one, the fault was with the tactics/performance not with a tired Stones switching off briefly after a 60 minute onslaught.

Switching off briefly in that situation is never fine. He wasn't even looking at the ball just before the Croatia player headed it meaning that he had no chance to anticipate anything.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He probably had more important things to think about like where he will go on holiday

No that’s Karius

Lovren is like Jones, plays well but there's always a mistake in him. And when it happens, it's always costly. You cannot be considered world class if there is a mistake always in you. And they are at the age they shouldn't be making these kind of mistakes.

People will know im not his biggest fan, but credit where its due he was solid in the CL final and after bit of a shaky start in the first half where he could have had a yellow, he was outstanding after HT, won everything. Hes in another massive final :/.

Neville blasted him at HT too then he came out looking like a prime Nesta ffs.
