Losing two players than run and work off the ball, and replacing them with 1 who kinda does it and the other in Sturridge is not ideal in my book.
Yeah Lallana out is bad but Can is at least as good as this dude. Isn't he? Did I miss something?
Fuck, I was just reminded of Can's tendency to misplace passes.No - I don't think so; Can is more active but Gini has a better footballing brain; I have found that his positional sense and general movement is better than Can''s. Also Can has not started a game this season so his overall 90 minute match fitness is in doubt. Also with Gini he like Lallana seems to have that ability to get out of tight spots when there are few options available to pass. Big loss this - I get why we paid 25M for this guy.
Worst come to the worst..
Hendo, Can and Milner in Midfield.. Milner replaces Lallana, Can replaces Wijnut..
Klavan at left Back..
Coutinhio Firminio Mane up Top..

Think we will need Cans energy in this match.
I don't see Can as being particularly energetic compared to a Lallana, Henderson or Wijanldum.
Bam!At least Can will help prove more useful than Lallana or Wijnaldum from United's aerial threat.

It's Gini.I call him Gigi simply cos I can't be fucked trying to remember how to spell his bloody name.
Can of Red BullI ould certainly say Can is more energetic than Wijanldum, whose primary strength is his postional play.
Yeah, they have 4 "big" guys we need to worry about from set pieces Zlatan, Smalling, Bailly and Fellaini. If lovren and Matip mark 2 of 'em it leaves Hendo and Can (as our only 2 other 6-footers) to try and mark the other 2.I wouldn't fancy Can vs zlatan or fellani to win a header to be honest. But I know what you mean though.
