Bit left field but if we don't sign a centre back tomorrow does anyone think there's a chance we could use Can there? He's deceptively quick, decent in the air and is obviously comfy on the ball, I think he could be brilliant there if he's disciplined enough for it.

Remember the year he played there, badly? Also, how will that pursuade him to stay?

I was thinking the same thing earlier, he's played in defence for Germany at the highest level and he wants playing time so why not. I personally think it would work.

I think he has the skills to play there, but no chance whatsoever that he would accept to play there. Remember he gets yellows routinely - how many of those would translate to reds if he was playing around the box?

What a waste of talent.

Why play a highly talented player, who is developing into one of the best centre midfielders in the premier league, in a position he doesn't want to play in and lose his composure, physical presence and ability on the ball in midfield.

Well my thoughts were that against most teams, but particularly those that sit back, our centre halfs see an awful lot of the ball and have very little defending to do. Klopp clearly doesn't have an issue with them carrying the ball out of defence and Matip does it every so often. If we are playing a team posing little attacking threat that are set up only to defend I would rather Can be the man on the ball looking to pick out runners than Lovren. Also, with Can having played midfield he should intuitively know when a player wants to receive a short pass and more importantly when they do not. It was apparent in both legs against Hoffenheim and in the Arsenal game that Lovren's judgment when it comes to this is less than perfect. I'm not trying to belittle Lovren here but when you look at what is required in certain games I think Can playing there is an option. It's all about opinions so I appreciate the feedback, I'm very optimistic about the season regardless!

Oh and for those with the dodgy memories, Can took over from Lovren after a 3-0 defeat to Man Utd and we went on an 11 match unbeaten streak- hardly playing poorly!

Firmino is great at closing down the opponent. He should play right back.
