Dejan Lovren's head may have already been in Liverpool back in June but Liverpool fans are starting to wish his body hadn't joined it.

Last season Dejan Lovren was one of the best defenders in the Premier League at least up until getting injured up at Sunderland and it was this fine form that prompted Liverpool to fork out £20 million to reunite the rest of his body with his head which had allegedly been residing in Liverpool for several weeks before Brendon Rodgers parted with the big bucks.

At the time Saints supporters felt that they had lost that Lovren feeling and that he was gone gone gone, however it is Liverpool supporters feeling it now.

Now statistics not only reveal that Lovren is the most error prone defender in the entire Premier League, but he had committed more errors than the entire Southampton squad put together.

So far Lovren is officially credited with 4 costly errors although Liverpool fans might suggest that he has had a hand in a few more than that, in contrast Saints in conceding only 5 goals in becoming the meanest defence in England, less than half of the next contenders in Chelsea and Swansea, with 11 have yet to have any player make a vital mistake to concede a goal.

That is an incredible record although its ironic that Liverpool themselves have been responsible for almost half of that total having scored twice against us on the opening day of the season.

It obviously give Saints supporters great pleasure to see Lovren struggle given his atrocious behaviour to manouevre his way out of St Mary's and up to Anfield, indeed of all the players who left Lovren was perhaps the one who least deserved to go in terms of service given to Saints .

Still it all comes out in the wash as the old saying goes and after reading these statistics to quote another phrase this time an advertising slogan

"Im Lovren It"

cheltenhamsaint added 14:17 - Nov 11 Lovren's problem is that he thinks he is better than he actually is. He thinks he is the new Beckenbauer and I started to get nervous about him after Xmas. When he got injured at Sunderland it was because of a tackle he didn't need to make on the touchline. He got caught in possession in the 1st minute away at Spurs in the corner when he should have just kicked into touch. Spurs scored and we went on to lose. Everton at home (won 2 nil with 2 ogs) he slide into Naismith as he was going away from goal. It was a clear penalty fro me and we got away with it. How we got £20m for him after half a good season I will never fathom but glad that we did.

Winchsaint added 15:20 - Nov 11 Someone might have already posted this elsewhere but two out of ten of the Guardian's 'unsung heroes' are Fonte and Bertrand who could show Lovren a thing or too about behaving with class, Jose for how he stepped up to the captaincy when everyone was off and Ryan for how he has gone out on loan and shown Chelski what they are missing: www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/nov/11/lukasz-fabianski-ayoze-perez-10-unsung-premier-league-heroes
