‘A million times better than Henderson’ – Liverpool fans single out star man for praise after Stoke City win
Liverpool beat Stoke City 3-0 at the Britannia Stadium extending their unbeaten run in the Premier League to five games.
Emre Can returned to the starting lineup after recovering from injury.
If you were wondering whether Can can do it on a cold, windy night in Stoke well yes he can.
Interestingly enough the 23-year-old was deployed in a two man midfielder instead of the usual three man setup.
We took a look at how Liverpool fans reacted to Can’s display on social media.

Is Can more of a leader than current captain Jordan Henderson? would be a potential future captain if he were to stay on at Anfield?
No offense but Emre Can shows more leadership in this one gif than entire season of Hendo’s.

Very imaginative!
Emre Can is that random guy you picked up to sub on your rec league team that alternates between being out of position and running himself into alleys while also complaining about everyone else on the team not doing enough

Now that is a stat!
Emre Can is making his 100th Premier League appearance for Liverpool this evening. He becomes only the second German player to achieve the milestone after Dietmar Hamann. #LFC pic.twitter.com/Q1thAcavnq

Would Liverpool regret losing Can if he were to leave? The midfielder of Turkish origin has under 12 months remaining on his contract but has yet to sign a new deal.
Watch Emre Can go to Juve for free and score 15 goals and get a Serie A trophy while we still rely on Henderson…

Shame he leaves, could be a legend and a future captain

This shows why Henderson has to be nowhere near the starting XI …. Emre Can is better than him by far

Emre Can is a million times better than Henderson. The sooner he signs a new contract & is given the captaincy the better #LFC

Is Henderson the problem?
Notice how without Henderson on the field, everyone performs quite well?
More of this.

Thoughts?
Emre Can is just a hipster Henderson
