However with Can performing poorly even by his standards, does this open the door for a Joe Allen start against City? Allen has tremendous technique and body work that his midfield counterparts badly lack. He's struggled for a run in the team because of injuries throughout his whole time here, and in some matches has even played with existing injuries. Hopefully Klopp will put his partiality for Emre Can to one side for one game and give Joe Allen the nod.

And by the way, Brendan was never partial towards Allen, was he?

I've only seen him doing 'neither nor', that is not attacking and not defending, just tagging along.

Do think he and Henderson could form a very decent midfield two with Allen slightly deeper and dictating the game. Your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

But we need a bit more in the middle than that. Can has been off a bit lately so why not give him a go but I fully expect him to be up for sale in January or next summer. Maybe the stupid Welsh Xavi tag ruined him for us?

When has he ever dictated a game? Describing him as fantastic on his day is one of the most inaccurate statements I have ever seen on this forum which is saying something.
