Emre Can

[Corndog]

Think you are right on that, although he did play there at underage level too.


I hate seeing him at RB as I think he is very cumbersome in that role and it is a positions that plays to his weaknesses in a big way, but given that Can was being lauded for his play in defensive roles during that season at Leverkusen I don't think Rodgers was wrong to try and see if he could do it in the EPL.


Regardless I do hope we never see Can at RB again.

At Bayern in the youth team and for German U21 he was a central mid. That's always been his first position. He played as a utility player in many positions at Leverkusen but he has always been a central midfielder.

Played RB for Germany simply because they have a ridiculously strong list of world class centre mids and not so many great right backs after Lahm retired.

He's good enough to play CM for Germany, whether he will I'm not 100% but I think he stands as good a chance as any of the wunderkinder.

Vote Emre

[PTP]

anyone notice emre limping a lot in the first half yesterday? seemed to be struggling a bit but not seen or heard it mentioned?

[Pablo]

Voted for Emre. Obviously. It was his or Giroud's for me. Both obscene.

Payet's was a beauty though and deserves more than the 1% of the vote it's on now.

[Kenneth]

Who's going to vote for Payet's? The odd 'neutral' maybe.

[Pablo]

Well, even I didn't.

I just thought it was a great goal and different from the others. Better than Hazard's overhyped one against Arsenal anyway.

[Buzzo]

Girouds goal is ridiculous.

I voted Emre though.

[Reece]

Giroud's was a massive fluke.

Emre

[Shaggy]

Total fluke. Just stuck a leg out and hoped for the best.

[Shaggy]

Henderson's at Chelsea is very underrated. Hell of a goal that.

[red g]

To be Fair Big Andy got some power in his effort and poor old Gaston stuck on 0% bet you he hadnt run that far all season.

[Buzzo]

Giroud's was a massive fluke.

Emre

Total fluke. Just stuck a leg out and hoped for the best.

He 'guides it' towards goal. I'd be claiming it

Yep Hendersons goal is superb as well.

Some of them (Ramirez, Hazard, Payet) are a lot of skill but an equal amount of **** defending and goal keeping.

[Maxiedge]

Voted for Emre even though I think the Payet goal is goal of the season

[Fosterbloke]

I reckon Carroll's goal is better than Can's but Can's meant more and was the winner so it gets my vote.

Giroud's was a fluke, Mkhitaryan's was offside (good goal though!) and Payet's should have been saved. Henderson's was right in the pocket (lovely!).

My personal goal of the season was Mane's first in the league for us against Arsenal. The speed to get to the ball, the skill to get away from two players then the lovely curled power shot past Cech. Wow.
