The defender has not exactly convinced the Kop of his talents since joining, but one former Reds favourite believes this will be his year
Liverpool's fall guy Dejan Lovren is ready to shake off his critics and star this season in the team's defence, according to ex-Reds favourite Dirk Kuyt.
Lovren's at-times erratic defending has made him a target of jibes over the years at Anfield, with many questioning his place in Jurgen Klopp's plans.
After helping Liverpool to the Champions League final, however, Lovren also left a positive impression at the heart of Croatia's in the nation's run to the World Cup decider against France, with the player himself claiming he was the "world's best defender".
