Is it just me or is anyone else still a little unconvinced, as yet ?- He's a big unit and can build up a head of steam but seems a little , well........unwieldy

If he spent less time looking at his reflection in his own boots and more time trying to fulfil his evident promise, he and we would be in a far better position.
Otherwise, he's a victim of being too versatile. He's suffering from being the jack of all trades. Had he been deployed in one position for the last half dozen years of his career, we'd have a far more assured player.

That being the case Ryan we will hopefully see an improvement- although I still remain a little sceptical
I just think he looks a bit too clumsy on occasions
could be a touch of what ryan said, not getting a lot of time in midfield has stunted his abilities
Lovely to see you back Vlad.

Cheers Doc - i think this suits me more than Twitter - brevity was never my strong point - there are even more loons there than here [emoji102]
I just worry that he's not dynamic and quick enough with the ball at his feet to be a top midfielder. There's a decent player there, but to flourish it might need to be in Spain or Italy.
However, controversial as this seems, the right manager could make a great domineering, ball playing centre back out of him.

First of all he needs to improve his fitness as in some games he looks shattered from the hour mark which is weird considering how lazy he is sometimes defensively. Playing more games will also help him but he has to justify his place in the starting eleven to do that. Maybe he just needs the right mix of players around him to get the best out of him.
I think it looks a bit pretentious don't you think ?
I'm glad it's not just me over Emre
Agree - and I miss the old Avatar as well.
I think Can lacks balance in the midfield. Too often he tries to be flashy rather than being concerned about end product. He complicates play and holds it up. No doubt the ability is there and a really good technical level. On the days where he remembers to move forward with the ball and add momentum, he is a great attribute to any midfield.
Obvious issues with consistency. Let's hope he learns fast.
He is a "dynamic" player but he's one that lacks intelligence right now and often doesn't seem quite sure of what he should do when he gets the ball. That might be a product of playing in loads of different positions over the last few years but either way he's needs to be coached and developed.
The good news is that there is clearly a lot to work with there. I'd like to think that if the situation is managed properly we will have a top class player on our hands in a couple years time.

Impostor!!!!???
No. It gives you a touch of class.
Given how well he's played on his good days (and to some extent the sheer size of the bloke) it's easy to forget how young Can still is. I'm very hopeful he'll develop into a monster for us.
Get rid.
He was played as a right back. They won 3-1 and he was the youngest player in the German team.
He played the full 90 mins and had a good game.
As Keni says, there is a lot to work with there. He's certainly isnt the finished article yet but that would be a bit weird seeing he's 21 years old. Hopefully we have the neccessary coaches to get the best out of him.
Give him time and he'll be boss.
Can's biggest problem, and ours, is that he doesn't currently have the attributes for any of the positions we need him for. He turns too slowly, he tries to carry the ball too far without off-loading (which other Liverpool players have this criticism aimed at them - more than one, so maybe we should also be looking at the manager's instructions ?), isn't a DM, isn't an AM, isn't a wide player and is therefore in competition with Henderson and Milner for a CM slot, neither of which he has a hope in hell of dislodging. One has to wonder .. eventually just what position is he most likely to 'own' ?
It was also interesting to read his own comments on transitioning to the PL. It's 'faster and more physical' in the PL than the BL, 'you don't have time to think before someone is on top of you, closing you down'.
