Dejan Lovren's first attempt at his #AskLovren Q&A with fans as a Liverpool player backfired after angry Saints fans bombarded the Croat with some uncomfortable questions.
The cultured centre-half, presumably bored while having to train with Liverpool's youth players after failing to gain a USA Visa, did well to publicly ignore the contempt thrown his way.
However, the die-hard south coast support managed to get in a few shots which must have stung Lovren's over-inflated ego.

I can't say I condone wanting a former player to get a serious career-threatening injury. However, I think those above tweets give a fair indication of what Saints fans think of Lovren and the way he treated the club in forcing a move to Merseyside.
