Dejan Lovren hasn't always been popular at Liverpool but he's slowly winning the fans back

Having caused a stir over the summer by describing himself as "one of the best defenders in the world," Dejan Lovren doubled down on his claim last week in an entertaining interview with "Fifa & Chill" while also insisting that he makes far fewer mistakes than Sergio Ramos, the man regarded by many as the top centre-back in world football.

In fairness to Lovren, he's only repeating what Jurgen Klopp has been drumming into him yet when his name was absent from Liverpool's team sheet at Arsenal on Saturday, the news was met with a collective shrug from supporters.
