He waa bossing midfields last season - not only defensively, but he was contributing on the ball.

This season, he's been awful on the ball but still brilliant defensively. He won't get goals and assists because it's not his natural game.

He is slow on the ball - but IMO, that's just as bad as someone like Hendo who plays quicker but only back the defenders or full backs.b

In general, the balance of the midfield is completely off. All 3 are the same.

Not sure about him bossing midfielders. Strength wise he's good but i question not only his distribution (he loves to take multiple touches when you guys are at your best playing quickly and fluidly) but he lacks the discipline to hold a defensive position and likes to charge upfield whenever he has played dm.

Lallana in Cm, and Firmino CF - will go a long way in restoring that balance.

Totally agree with that

Can is just **** and a Jimmy favorite so Jimmy ignores how lfc fell apart without Henderson but sticks with Henderson bashing to give can any role possible.
 
<laugh> Off the ball, Can is horrendous! He has no clue where to stand, where opposition players' runs are going and he's even worse when we have the ball as he spends half the time with another player between him and the ball.

Off form, definitely. Good player when on form? Questionable.
 
Markovich is probably a bigger disaster than either Carroll or Balotelli <yikes>

Hmmmmmm....... carrol lost 11mil? Won a league cup.

Balotelli was 16mil wasted for nothing at all. Worse it near ruined our team.

Markovic played lwb in a 10 match unbeaten run. For 20mil.. and a few loan fees so... well... he will be a big loss yes but nowhere near bad as badontelly surely?
 
Think a little harsh on Markovic, not good enough for us, way over priced but he was at least mediocre, something Carroll and Balotelli could only hope to achieve. He's also young, and we'll probably get some money back.

Hard to get too pissed off when one "for the future" isn't good enough. The ones that annoy me the most are those that are supposed to be first team buys that are clearly wrong (Balotelli, Carroll, Aqualavista baby)
