‘The least intelligent player I’ve ever seen’ – Liverpool fans roast Emre Can on social media following Champions League clash
Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw against Spartak Moscow at the Otkrytiye Arena on Champions League Match Day 2.
The home side took the lead on 23 minutes thanks to a strike from Fernando.
Philippe Coutinho equalised for the Reds just 10 minutes later but they were unable to push on for a winner.
Midfielder of Turkish origin Emre Can started for the Reds but his performance did not draw a positive reaction from the fans – on social media anyway.
We took a look at how Liverpool fans reacted to Can’s display on social media.
Some fans blamed Can for conceding against Spartak Moscow. He was accused of being ‘slow’ and ‘ponderous’.
The goal comes from Emre Can being slow & ponderous then putting team in danger. Poor start by him overall.

Can was criticised for lacking concentration and making sloppy passes among other things.
Emre Can is the least intelligent player I’ve ever seen on a football pitch. Takes half an hour on the balls then passes back blind. #clown

The quicker Emre Can comes off the more chance we have winning to be honest. Stinker tonight.

Emre Can got us in trouble there by stupidly giving it away in our half after they hadn’t touched the ball for 15 minutes…

Emre Can is an absolute liability defensively. Can’t believe he sees himself as a holding midfielder.

That’s a recurring problem with Can. Always holds on to the ball too long and gets in trouble.

One of those days when Emre Can is Oscar Isaac playing Jonjo Shelvey.

Emre can can’t keep performing so poorly. If that was henderson be would have been slaughtered. Give Chamberlain a chance in midfield…

You guys need to shine the light on Emre Can. He’s garbo

Emre Can and Roberto Firmino were simply awful tonight. Can at fault largely for the first goal and Firmino was terribly wasteful.

What was the point of Emre Can scoring that bicycle kick if it was just going to produce this

Has Can really been poor this season? sure he has had a few bad performances but Liverpool have not been great as a team.
Emre Can been stinking up the place all season. One game against Hoff had some of you so spun ?

Emre Can and firmino are not playing up to standard

He shouldn’t even b in the squad

Is Can vital to Liverpool?
He did a mistake but imo he is one vital player in our squad…. In their goal our keeper was shocking… he should have saved that

Ouch!
Can totally see why Juventus are after Emre Can. They could really do with increasing the number of goals they concede from dodgy passes.
