When Emre Can was named in Jurgen Klopp’s starting eleven on Saturday, Liverpool fans took to social media in their droves to voice their discontent.

The 24-year-old ended up playing the full 90 minutes during the Reds 2-0 win over Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle United.

The victory sent the Reds above Manchester United into second place. United can, however, move back into second spot with a win over Crystal Palace tonight.

Can is one yellow card away from receiving a two-match suspension, and Liverpool fans were surprised about his inclusion in Klopp’s starting eleven, considering Can is on nine bookings.

A tenth booking would have seen him miss Liverpool’s encounter with their bitter rivals Man United at Old Trafford next weekend.

Fortunately, the combative midfielder managed to avoid a yellow card and is available for selection this weekend.

Can’s long-term future at Liverpool is still in doubt after failing to put pen-to-paper on a new deal. The Germany international has entered the final three months of his contract.
