'He wants to fight everyone he plays against': Jamie Carragher slams Dejan Lovren for 'making the same mistake' against strikers and says Liverpool centre-back 'should have learnt'

Jamie Carragher has slammed Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren for trying to 'fight everyone he plays against' and says he should have learnt from his mistakes.

Lovren was widely criticised after struggling to get to grips with Watford's Troy Deeney during the Reds' 3-0 defeat at Vicarage Road in February.

Carragher says it isn't the first time he's seen Lovren come off second best when trying to wrestle with opposition strikers and urged him to vary his approach.

'I've watched Lovren in a Liverpool shirt for so long making the same mistake,' he told the Maych X Pajak Podcast.
