Fans rage as Liverpool defender nominated ahead of Mesut Ozil for Player of the Month

Even Dejan Lovren must be embarrassed about this.

The Croatian defender has improved immeasurably for Liverpool this term with the change of manager seeming a key part on the former Southampton man's renaissance at the heart of the Reds' defence. However not even the most die-hard Anfield acolytes would have the nerve to try and argue that the defender was one of the best players in the Premier League last month. The stats  for the season are impressive, but still, it's Dejan Lovren ffs. https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/674925388020252672 The Liverpool man has been nominated along with goal machine Jamie Vardy, Troy Deeney, Romelu Lukaku, Ross Barkley and Harry Kane. https://twitter.com/BarclaysFooty/status/674861143920271360 All fine players you'll agree, but isn't there someone missing? Someone like Mezut Ozil? https://twitter.com/afcstuff/status/673501673239748608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The German has somehow failed to make the shortlist despite being in the form of his life and football fans are raging. https://twitter.com/CameronChap/status/674953420676177923 https://twitter.com/scoucese/status/674923085691265024 https://twitter.com/MallyHalfJ/status/674902695694741505 https://twitter.com/JonnyEckersley/status/674889692551229440 https://twitter.com/hotspur423/status/674906244331651072 Although most Liverpool fans thought it was a Christmas miracle https://twitter.com/MallyHalfJ/status/674902695694741505 https://twitter.com/lees8825/status/674897922933334016 But at least he has this award for his exploits last month https://twitter.com/Le__Professeur/status/674202422722580480
