Can is the reason why we are stronger defensively right now.

If the manager is so insistent on putting Can in the team, I think putting him on the wing would suit him. That way when he runs with the ball with his non-existent turn of pace he believes he really has, we won't lose the ball in the middle of the park ready to be countered.

Or alternatively just put him in defence where a player of that technical ability should be playing until he improves and then move him into midfield when he's a bit more developed.

Rodgers played Can as a full back, wing back, centre half and central midfielder last season. Thats a clear example of a manager insisting on playing a player without really knowing what to do with him.

Klopp has decided on a position for him and I'm happy to watch him develop there, its better than seeing him in a different position every week.

As for playing him on the wing thats a great idea, why not stick Lucas on the other side? crazy

I really can't for the life of me understand why a manager would play a midfielder in midfield! What the fukk is he thinking??

I hate all this playing players in their right positions. It's getting us no where fast that's for sure. I mean, how can we confuse the fukk out of the players and see who has character if they're not played out of position? Utter madness!

If he is a midfielder he is not Liverpool standard just yet. And if playing a midfielder in defence to aid their development confuses them then he can sit on the subs bench as 4th or 5th choice central midfielder hoping to get a game in the league cup or hope that there is a midfield injury crisis at some point in the season.

Joe Allen isn't even close to being Liverpool standard but he seemed to get plenty of games over the last 3 seasons for some reason. Neither is Adam Lallana who cost the club £25mil!

At least Emre Can has age on his side, he's very raw and learning but I'd sooner see him in the team than either Lallana or Allen.

Bit harsh on lalanna who has been doing well enough for klopp. Has been a disappointment but its the price tag that is killing him too. If we got him for 8m fans be "cool" with him in the squad.

I don't think he's a bad player, personally.

Working hard and doing a few Cruyff turns that lead to nothing isn't good enough in my opinion. Playing where he plays he needs to start delivering goals and assists regularly. I find him seriously frustrating to watch and whoever sanctioned £25mil for him needs their head re-attaching!
