LIVERPOOL HAVE SUCCESSFULLY voted Dejan Lovren as the club’s Player of the Month for October in a show of support after the defender received a death threat against his family on social media.
Lovren was the subject of heavy criticism for his performance in Liverpool’s 4-1 defeat to Tottenham last month and shared a screenshot of a message in which the sender threatened violence against the defender.
“I cannot ignore when my family is threatened,” Lovren said in response. “I just can’t and won’t accept that.”
Liverpool fans on Twitter called for supporters to vote for Lovren in the Player of the Month ballot posted on the club’s website and have achieved their goal.
After the poll closed Lovren sat top of the list, his 33 per cent share matched by Mohamed Salah with Philippe Coutinho (nine per cent) in third.
Baz/Bazzer is shaping up like another in a pretty impressive line of quality Irish goalkeepers. So important to have that level of skill, confidence and maturity at the back, for one so young. The odd blip at times, but otherwise SOLID. Let’s sort out Lux comprehensively on Sunday, to ensure our current sense of hope/excitement is not a false dawn.
