How about playing Can at CB Ed01? He has no place in midfield and we are terrible at back atm. I don't rate Lovren and Klavan is simply a back up. Can couldn't do any worse than both of them. If Klopp doesn't fancy Gomez in league games then Can is a decent short term fix.

{Ed001's Note - Can was hopeless in defence. He has no positional sense back there, can't head the ball and is easily bullied, as well as lacking acceleration and having the turning circle of a bendy-bus.}

Doesn't sound like the attributes of a midfielder either, where do you think he'll ultimately develop best in the side?

Would Can be a suitable temporary replacement for Mane on the wing? It would also allow Lalanna move back into centre where he has shown to be much more effective.

Given his form I'd guess he'll soon be developing at a different team Zimbo

By next season Can will be gone in my opinion and Grujic, Chirivella, Ejaria and Stewart can come further into the first team picture.

Can is not right for our style in my opinion. He isn't mobile enough.

Can? A winger?
There are few positions I would less like him to play in.

He's not a winger. I'd put him at the base of a 4-2-3-1 myself alongside someone more mobile and defensively minded. Frees him up to surge forward if the space is there and defensive cover will ensure he's not too exposed.

Over the long term I'd hope he'll develop and become a Ballack style player but obviously a long long way to go there!

He's young Ron, give him a chance maybe? The problem is that It looks like he's undroppable. So could be better on the wing and at least it allows Lalanna back into midfield.
It's the fact that he looks undroppable to Klopp so must play somewhere.

A quick fix to our defense is bringing sakho back in the first team, he was looking immense at the end of last season. Even if klopp wants him gone, playing in the first team will likely attract more interest and he can rid him in the summer

Bendy bus haha, that was classic, its not just the turn he seems to be doing it in slow motion sometimes, like there is a disconnect with his thought and muscle reaction. Still, he is a better footballer than me so who am i to criticise!

Can on the wings or Ojo on the wings? I will have a winger on the wings than a midfielder any day.

can is only effective with Hendo and Lallana with him in CM. This is where he has been more than productive this season. He`s scored goals, gotten assists and his ability to drive at teams knowing he has cover in Hendo behind him, is where he is really effective.

The problem is that with mane gone, Lallana has been playing on the right (where he is not effective) and Can and Wij (not complimentary at all) are in CM with Hendo. This is where ours and Klopp`s frustration is coming from. If Origi (which I think he can, Firmino or Studge could play on the right, that would free Lallana to play in CM and then either Can or Wij can partner Hendo in midfield. But they can`t and Klopp doesn`t trust Ojo in big games either so we are stuck. This is where the issue lies, IMO.
