This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Yes and no. by NDMike2001

His talents were/are wasted by and large under Rodgers and even Low for the German national team. Under Rodgers he bounced around in midfield, fullback and part of a back three. That's not good for any player's development. Under Klopp he's clearly a midfielder. However, his natural position seems to be a 6, where he played behind Henderson. The other CM positions were occupied by Wijnaldum and Lallana, who are both much better suited for what Klopp is trying to do.

Can has always been immensely talented. The problem was trying to find a place for him. He's a bit like Ross Barkley, but significantly better on the ball. The problem may be that he's not very bright. Or maybe he doesn't know what to do with his talent. But he generally makes poor decisions in the final third. Even that incredible kick was a "poor" decision. He could have knocked the ball down off his chest and either looked to shoot or pass. Instead, he went for the once in a lifetime shot. You can't argue with the result, but it's a reflection of his mentality.

He's really not a perfect fit for a club that looks to create with movement and passing. He's probably better suited to play for (I hate to say it) like a Mourinho.

Liverpool need a much bigger club next year, so it's important that they sign him to an extension. Unfortunately, that probably isn't going to happen.
