Dejan Lovren reveals dressing room message after Man City defeat

Dejan Lovren says the dressing room message after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City was one of calm as the Reds look to remain focused on getting back to winning ways.

The Merseysiders remain top of the Premier League with a four point lead but will be disappointed to not be at least seven points clear of City.

That said, Lovren says the Liverpool players are not getting carried away after dropping three points for the first time in 20 games.

“The message [in the dressing room afterwards] was to stay calm,” the centre-back told reporters following the final whistle.

“There are many games in front of us, and we knew it was a big season and we are still first. Nothing changed.

“We need to stay calm, keep our focus game by game and do not look back. When we win or we lose, we will not look back.

“People already questioned us even before the season, even now they said this game was already the title. It doesn’t work in football like that. It is game by game, let us see at the end of the season where we will finish.

“But I don’t think this will change anything. No, we are quite strong, strong in the mentality.

“This is Liverpool, we will always come back when it’s tough. And you know it is tough after the final whistle, but it is over, finished, we can’t change it.

“We will accept that and congratulate Manchester City – but the season is quite long and I believe in this team.”
