‘He Entered When The Game Was Done’ – Liverpool fans react to Emre Can failing to start for Germany on social media
Germany beat Australia 3-2 in their opening Confederations Cup Group A game in Russia.
Stindl opened the scoring for Germany on 5 minutes but Rogic equalised just four minutes before the half-time whistle.
Germany had the last laugh in the first half as Draxler netted from the penalty spot to put the reigning World Cup champions ahead.
Goretzka scored just after the interval to give Germany a two goal cushion but Juric pulled one back for Australia on 56 minutes.
Liverpool star Emre Can was expected to start but in a surprise decision by Joachim Low he was left on the bench – despite the head coach calling up a team lacking most of his first choice stars for the tournament.
We took a look at how Liverpool fans reacted to Can not making the starting line-up for Germany on social media.

EMRE CAN was pure world class today even tho he had 14 minutes on the pitch quality shines over time ?????

Germany won that game as soon as Emre Can came on. Didn’t concede any goals with him on the field. World class player

Can did not start for Germany and most fans did not seem impressed.
It was even more surprising considering this was not a full strength Germany side.
Unused sub. FFS guys.

Most Liverpool fans appeared to be more concerned with the amount of time it has taken for Can to extend his contract.
The midfielder of Turkish origin has just over 12 months left on his contract but has yet to sign a new deal.
