Dejan Lovren has launched a staunch defence of his former team-mates on social media as the former Liverpool defender told critical fans they 'will never understand football'.
The Premier League champions fell to a shock 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday night in an astonishing performance that raises questions over the Reds' chances of defending their crown.
The Villains exposed Liverpool's back four on numerous occasions, beating the high line to great effect as Jack Grealish and Ollie Watkins ran riot at Villa Park.
And Lovren, who spent six years at Anfield before leaving for Zenit St Petersburg in the summer, took to Twitter to defend his team-mates from critical supporters after the embarrassing result.
