At least some on there recognise it's more to do with their ****e midfield that does not provide the protection that VW & MS gave him (similar to this season). It was noticeable at times towards the mid to end of last season that he was left wanting at times - Spurs away springs to mind where they played the ball very wide so in effect by passing VW & MS down the wings and thereby exposing Lovren on more occasions than was the norm against us last season.
