I was impressed with his discipline last night, he was obviously told to be the holding midfielder and did a very good job in my eyes, reminded me a little of Didi Hamann and that's a big compliment.
Yes that's it holding mid, that probably matches the description of Can best, even if he does like to drive forward with the ball - which is more associated with box to box mids of course, but as I said to you on the transfers thread most people don't believe he can be a box to box mid (I have to agree with them), so he'll just stay as an unnatural holding mid?
which leads me onto my next question, do liverpool need a holding midfielder? I think we need more of an enforcer, while lucas has impressed in central defence, he's can't do all parts of what it takes to control and command the midfield reliably, we saw that at leicester.
