Liverpool fans react on social media to Germany international’s display following Hoffenheim win

The Reds take a 2-1 advantage into the second leg following goals from Alexander-Arnold and James Milner. The return leg will be played at Anfield on Wednesday August 23.

Following the final whistle, we took a look at how Liverpool fans reacted on social media to Can’s display against Hoffenheim. The 23-year-old received a positive reaction on the whole.

Some fans believe Emre Can should replace Jordan Henderson as Liverpool’s defensive midfielder.

Klopp’s side host Crystal Palace at Anfield in their next Premier League fixture on August 19. The Reds were held to a 3-3 draw by Watford FC last week.

Can has under 12 months remaining on his current contract with Liverpool. The 23-year-old could leave Liverpool for free next summer if he doesn’t strike a new deal with the Merseyside based club.
