Only just turned 23 and we haven't seen him at his peak. He was an absolute steal at around £10m and for me could still be a captain of the team in future. Fabulous attitude and I don't remember ever seeing a Liverpool player in floods of tears like he was at the end of the Europa League final.

If fit he will always be in the squad. Unfortunately if unfit and playing now and then on his return people will always look to get at him at the first available opportunity.

Again some of the negativity on here defies belief. Emre Can deserves better.


Why? For me he is very inconsistent. If you want inconsistent young players in your team you might as well forget about top 4. Top 4 now is a real challenge so much competition. If we want to get in top 4 now over the next few years.

Players like Can & Origi are good buys imho, not overly priced and look very good at times. But are like trainees given first team responsibilities

He's seems to slow the play down when it gets to him recently. He can be a very good player when up to speed though. I want to see quicker passing from him (and less giving the ball away) and more of his surging runs forward

We have Henderson, Wijnal dum and Can for that position and he is after both of them in terms of quality. With Henderson having his heel problems, he should have done more, he is not a good passer which is very important in that position and constantly looses the ball.

I don't think so, we have other priorities. We can look for a replacement for Can if Juventus wants him though.

I agree you can always upgrade players. But as far as the team is going Henderson is doing a good job and should be way down the list of replacements. Even if he is upgraded his would be a great player coming off the bench

Tom Hanks could do a similar job as Hendo. Life is like a box of chocolates.

But I am not comfortable with the term "defensive midfielder" at all. It is an excuse for a player that can run a bit and tackle, but offers nothing in possession nor is he capable of shielding the ball, running with the ball or making decent forward passes.

The term is applicable to Lucas and Hendo and Kevin Stewart because they are sadly lacking.

A decent midfielder should have grit, agility, strength, vision and confidence on the ball.

Can will get there.

It all depends on Henderson's injury, if it will not affect him going forward, I would keep him as he's a good midfielder, certainly low down on the list of players that need replacing/upgrading, but if his Heal injury will continue we need to replace him as he cannot be relied on, especially with Klopp's high intensity midfield pressing.

What are your opinions on defensive midfielders such as Makelele and Hamann then? Also Mascherano when he was with us as well. It's a specialist position and there are two, maybe three top defensive midfielders in the Premiership at the moment, Kante and Matic and maybe Fernandinho, although he could be classed as box to box.

Your criticism of pretty much every Liverpool player is unbelievable. Henderson is a good player, definitely not spectacular but easily good enough. We are so much better when he plays which should tell you everything you need to know.

Some people think that there should be 10 Coutinhos playing, they don't understand that football is also about defending
