The debate rages on… who is better Can or Jordan Henderson?

Emre Can < Jordan Henderson. If Henderson’s fit, he’s more important for #LFC. Truth is, BOTH aren’t top level and should be squad players

89% pass success from Emre Can in the first half. In terms of setting attacks, he’s far more suited to No6 than Henderson (75% pass success)

In terms of goals and assists he is in good form this season.
Emre Can has provided as many assists in his 4 Premier League games this season as he had in his previous 89 combined (2).
