‘Managed to look slower than Carragher’ – Liverpool fans slam Emre Can on social media following display against Sevilla
Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw against Sevilla at Anfield in their opening Champions League clash on Wednesday night.
Ben Yedder opened to scoring for the visitors inside the first five minutes but Firmino and Salah scored twice before the interval to give Liverpool a half-time lead.
The Reds could have been 3-1 up at the end of the opening 45 minutes had Firmino not missed a penalty.
Sevilla ended up equalising on 72 minutes thanks to a goal from Correa.
Emre Can started for the Reds and played 76 minutes until he was replaced by Philippe Countinho.
Can’s display did not exactly go down well with Liverpool fans.
We took a look at how Reds supporters reacted on social media to Can’s performance.

Not everyone was best impressed with Can’s display.
Most overrated player we have, one good game followed by 3 shite ones ??

Emre Can showed why, although he has some great games he needs to be consistent. Poor performance, bottled the tackle leading to the opener.

Left the striker unmarked from the throw in that led to equaliser too

Diabolical at times, one point in the game he was chasing the ball and managed to look slower than Carragher used to

that’s Emre Can. 2/3 good games and then back to reality. Should look at himself more. Very poor today.

Emre Can reminds me of one of those massive wardrobes with the tiny wheels. Just seems massive lumbering around midfield.

Emre Can was absolutely bollocks tonight. Same goes for Dejan Lovren (but that’s expected, I guess).
— Mik (@MikLFC) September 13, 2017
Defensively horrid. Emre Can completely switched off. No meaningful centerback involvement either, but seeing Can jog like that INFURIATING.
— John Green (@sportswithjohn) September 13, 2017
Since putting his chance wide just after Reds’ equaliser, Emre Can has missed every pass to him and failed to track 2 runs
— Karl Matchett (@karlmatchett) September 13, 2017
For someone who wants to be a holding midfielder, Emre Can’s defensive work really isn’t up to standard.
— Mik (@MikLFC) September 13, 2017
Will all be forgiven if Can signs a new contract?
Emre Can I love you so much but got to finish there. Sign a contract and I’ll forgive you.

Not everyone was as critical.
So u blame Can instead of Lovren. Weak analysis
— Lovemore Chiduza (@lchiduza) September 13, 2017
Is Klopp to blame? should Can be playing as a defensive midfielder?
This is starting with Henderson,who Klopp is playing as a DM.He clearly has no defensive awareness.
Emre Can needs to be put as the DM ASAP

Well he can always fall back on having great hair.
Lovely play from Liverpool to bring a chance for Emre Can, but a poor finish. Superb hair though.

SERIOUS? I’m 60 years old I’ve got 2 plates in my back and oh yeh I almost forgot I also have cancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Henderson wouldn’t beat me in a race and you talk about how slow Can is?
10 touch Can. So slow and lumbering in his movement and thought. Not good enough for LFC
Can went to sleep second half. We should have broufht in Oxlade earlier and taken out Can. A combination of Wijnaldum and Oxlade with Hendo as defensive would have produced better results. Klopp needs to bench his fellow countryman so he knows he’s got competition.
More worrying is that the gaffer doesn’t react to things like this sooner. Fresh legs on at around the hour mark and we’d have had them on the back foot again and could have finished them off.
Instead, he waits and waits, their manager spots we’re out of legs and ideas, brings on Muriel and their back level. From then we’re chasing the game and still Klopp waits until well into the final 10 mins to bring on Studge and the Ox.
Absolutely diabolical game management, 2 games in a row…
I cant understand how people cant see the mediocrity of the “Captain” Henderson, he show no discipline defensively (second goal vs sevilla and frst goal vs man city) and his passing abilities is so limited. He has no confidence at all holding the ball more than 5 second. About wijnaldum he spent most of the time invisible.
I prefer to play emre as DM and to give more chance to chamberlin and milner instead of either henderson and wijnaldum .
Ive been saying the same thing from the time we paid 20 million for his mediocre service’s. He should have been sold to spurs 2 yrs ago. THEY were willing to pay silly money for him. But he was kept on. BEYOND BELIEF. This team needs a major overhaul from KEEPER. THROUGH defence. And midfield. Or it’s going to be same old storyline. KLOPP has done very little for me. As fans we can see it. Why can’t the manager see it. He should have gone to spec savers. Before the TRANSFER window closed.
CAN AND HENDERSON ARE BOTH MEDIOCRE AT BEST. HENDERSON IS NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS A LFC CAPTAIN . HE IS A HEADLESS CHICKEN WHO JUST RUNS ALL DAY WITH NO END RESULTS. CAN’T SCORE. CAN’T PASS. PANICS WITH THE BALL. CAN IS FAR TO SLOW AND OFFERS NOTHING. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD LAST SEASON. AND MR KLOPP IS NO BETTER THAN RODGERS. YOU CAN BEST YOUR CHEST ALL YOU LIKE BUT I’M NOT FOOLED . THIS TEAM HAS NO BELLY FOR A FIGHT. NO Back BONE . MIDFIELD IS WOEFUL . DEFENCE IS LAUGHABLE. SO WEA
I dislike Rodgers intensely but if he was still manager I suspect the results would be exactly the same. Klopp has been a huge disappointment. So long in the job and he sends out Klavan at Man City, with entirely predictible results. Still hasn’t got a keeper who is even halfway decent. Can is the slowest player in the Prem. How old is he anyway? 45?
100 percent m8. WE are going backwards. Even though I detest murino he dosent hang about when buying players and sorting the problem area’s out. FOR ME klopp is no better than RODGERS and I think it took him 6 yrs to win the German title. Everybody thinks BIG VIRGIL WILL SORT EVERYTHING OUT BUT WE NEED 4 DEFENDER’S PLUS A KEEPER. UNTIL THEN. FORGET THIS SEASON TOO.
Agree totally.
As a Juve fan it horrifies me that we are trying to buy Can. The guy plays like a man of 45 who was never very good in the first place. Compare him to Iniesta or Isco! Oh dear.
