Really not understanding the huge knee jerk reaction to Can lately. He has not been his best. But he is only 22 and inconsistency is everyone's problem at that age. I can remember several games last season and a few this season where I thought without him we would have been screwed. The kid has the talent to be a very good box to box midfielder.
Last year he showed us he can be defensively sound, this year we are starting to see him go forward more sometimes successful and sometimes not. I admire his determination and work rate, two things you can't teach to a footballer.
He is still developing and with some more hard work and coaching and review of the tapes I think he can turn into a very good player for us. He is 22 years old, ffs not many 22 year olds can hack it in the premier league especially when coming from abroad. The guy deserves a lot of praise for coming here and trying to do a job as a key player when he should only be in the learning role.
