Are we missing Emre Can a little bit this season? Not sure if we are, but just thought I'd ask the question. he did have some good moments last season?

It's a good point red Jim. Maybe we are a bit. He was a creative player as well as a defensive player. Probably the guy who got most goals from midfield bar coutinio.

I think fab is the equal and Keita better but they aren't settled the way Can was with us last season. Got to admit, I'd totally forgotten about him. Hope he is playing in turin.

Good question actually RJ.
My opinion is that we’re not - at present.
Keita’s an upgrade definitely, even though he’s not totally settled in as yet, and the other midfielders have played well, on the whole, so far.

But Fabinho will be the one to compare Can with.
What very little we’ve seen of him, you’d have to conclude that he doesn’t seem an appreciable improvement on Can at all?
It’s very early days though, but this will be an interesting subject to ponder on as the season progresses.

I must have missed the part where we won 6 and drew 2 of our opening 8 games with Can. Those draws were away to Chelsea and against the defending champs, nothing to see here right now.

Him along with AOC had the most number of goals from midfield last season. 3 each.

87red, I must have missed that part as well cos all some people want to dwell on is the games we did not win despite us having the WORST schedule of late, of every team in the division. Before the season started, all we all wanted to do is to be on City's coat tails in the table BUT you would not know it with the way people are moaning on here.

Not everything is a moan, sometimes a question is just that, a question. What's the point in having a thought at all, just keep my thoughts to myself I suppose. FYI, I'm delighted with how the season is going.

RedJim, I was not referring to your question. I was referring to 87red's post. I'm sure you can tell the difference.
