West Ham United boss Slave Bilic insists Dejan Lovren will come good for Liverpool.

Lovren endured an error-prone performance in defeat to the Hammers on Saturday.

"He made a mistake," said Bilic. "He was over-confident and that can happen.

"When he's concentrated and thinking only about his own game, not about the left-back or whoever is alongside him, there are very few centre-halves who are better than him.

"One mistake anyone can do but if you are telling me that Liverpool lost because of Dejan Lovren then no, no, no, no, no. It wasn't down to him.

"It was a mistake but a lot of Liverpool players made mistakes.

"He can be a strong person but if you get kicked in the head every day then it's hard to stay strong. He was great against Arsenal. It is all down to confidence."
