hmm interesting,

just had a little look 21 appearances 1 goal 1 assist 1.069

comparing to his replacement here in Fab

22 appearances 1 goal 2 assists 1.382   

Can's played 1/3 less minutes but is that down to the injury layoff? Other than that they look pretty similar and I don't think anyone is writing Fab off just yet.
Fabinho's play allows others to get the goals and assists.

Can's didn't.

Good example of how stats don't tell the full picture.

Fabinho is the better player. He suits us better he does his role better, as a 6 he doesn't need to be scoring goals or creating chances, it helps if he does, but that's not his role. So comparing the two in those two categories alone is nonsense.

The difference is off the ball for me, Can loved getting forward but when the move fell apart he was ponderous getting back into position to defend, whereas Fabinho works his butt off getting back into position to either recycle the ball or put in a defensive tackle.

Agreed.

I never understood what the fascination with Can was all about.
He was never really the top class MF we needed. Too slow, too ponderous.
Ironically his stand out position for us was when Brendan stuck him at RB! That's what we remember the most about him - all those pirouettes and turns with the ball under pressure in the peno area haha and he always seemed to get past the pressuring forward player and get rid of the ball. fair play to him. It seemed like he was almost turning on the style in defence to kind of tell Brendan that he was pissed off being put at RB haha

Funnily enough I think he'd make a classy centre back in a few years time when he's a bit more switched on to things.
So bloody what? If you watch football to be absolutely miserable then go watch cricket.

Agreed. I’m not at all broken up about him going, Fabinho is clearly superior, but there’s a player in there. If the increased game intelligence can be coached into him, alongside growing maturity I think he’d be have the tools to be a good centre half.

Things not going to well for him...

https://www.empireofthekop.com/2019/08/19/sarri-tells-emre-can-to-find-a-new-club-liverpool-fans-react-online/?fbclid=IwAR0_M2yuqYVUtWyqBYKzjvC4Rpc7O9I3PIzjQLHwJCy7X_SRIO2tbtV38aw

Quote
Today, Coutinho has completed his move to Bayern Munich after failing at Barcelona, while Emre Can has been told by Juventus to find a new club.

This is according to the Echo, with their manager Maurizio Sarri not considering the German a viable option for his midfield.

Can ran down his contract with Liverpool and signed for the Italians on a Bosman in the summer of 2018, but one year later, he’s no longer considered a first-teamer…

Liverpool fans have been very noisy regarding the situation on Twitter, with the general consensus being that ‘the grass isn’t always greener,’ especially when you’re a starter for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

Without Can and Coutinho, Liverpool won the Champions League a few months ago and racked up 97 points in the Premier League.

This term, we’re two wins from two in the Premier League and won the Super Cup on penalties.

Next time one of our big players wants to leave, the warnings will be obvious.

Considering the clubs that are looking at him I wouldn't think he will be signing on any time soon. PSG and Bayern are elite clubs. I enjoyed his style here and we haven't missed him so I bare him no ill will. Hope he doesn't become a Theo Walcott

Not really his fault Juve got a new manager in who's decided Can's attributes aren't a good fit for what he wants to do.  I'm sure he'll get himself a good club if he does have to move on.

Yes, but with those clubs (if true) you'd imagine it's a bit of a speculative afterthought,  to pad the squad. Rather than regular games. Bit like that Stoke player CHupa Moating?? who came on in Paris against us.

i thought it was pretty clearly a dig at some of those on here who flew off the handle and lost their when he left, not the player. The kind that then had a go at the club (and some even at Klopp) for developing a top class player for another team, lamenting our chances of improving our midfield.

Not surprised really. Juve have Pjanic, Khedira, Ramsey, Rabiot, Bentancur and Matuidi, all of whom are arguably better, and they need to cut their wage bill. Having said that, he's 25 and is still a decent box-to-box player. They should easily get Ł20 million for him, hopefully he'll opt for a midtable team where he can really nail down a regular place.

It's not a dig at Can. It's a reminder that the phrase "world class" gets thrown about too easily, without an understanding of what it takes to actually be world class.

Since he's homegrown at the club, Bayern would probably like to do some business there. Not sure he'd play any significant role in their XI but he would be a good squad player for them.

His true level then? I think he'd be ideal for some top four challenger in Bundesliga like Leverkusen, Mönchengladbach or Schalke.

That’d be fitting, him and Phil can exchange tales of the trophies they’ve been very little part of winning

With all due respect, Coutinho played 18 games in the spring of 2018 and 34 games last season, while Can played 29 league games. Phil contributed 13 goals to the pair of league title wins for Barca while Emre scored four in Juventus' last season. They definitely had a part to play in those triumphs. They missed out on the big ears though, but that's another thing altogether...

You could call Michael Owen or a bunch of our bench-warmers in Madrid medal thieves but it's a bit unfair to suggest players who played more than a couple of dozen games and bagged several goals during the title runs are such  ;D

As for Can, I believe he'd thrive moving to one of the big Istanbul clubs, he could easily be captain within a year and become a legend there in either of the three. The pay over there is also great and he obviously speaks the language. I think he probably feels too young to go there and play in that lower-quality league yet though and I can't blame him for that either. So long as he travels around Europe's big clubs, squad player is the role he'll have: it's not bad at all, but not the kind of career he'd been expecting to have when he came here at 20.

Tbf, I don't think a fan of any club enjoys losing a player against the club's wishes, especially for nowt.  Also, we've been transitioning into a club where us fans are starting to realise that we can do better than players like Can.

I think it's as much the fear of replacing a player as much as what that player brings to the team. Now we're European Champions and every player here wants to be here. Regret is for those who left thinking they could do better than Liverpool Football Club.

Yeah but it's always going to occur. Some people are just panickers and don't have the tolerance threshold to be able to cope with the uncertainty that a transfer window can bring.

We've seen it before with other players Klopp was ostensibly hoping to retain (at least short term) however ultimately was comfortable enough to let them leave, such as Joe Allen, Lucas, Klavan, Clyne (on loan), Wilson and (potentially) Lovren next

Most of us just wished we'd got some money for him. 10m was supposedly a bargain and a sure fire way of making money on his sale, then he eventually goes for a free when he's improved in the mean time.

I have no ill will toward Emre. He could see the writing on the wall that he wasn't going to be a preferred player for Klopp, so he took a chance at moving to the Italian champions. A lot of us would have done the same. He left while being respectful to LFC, which was the opposite of what Coutinho did.

I hope Can does well wherever he lands.

Emre Can showed a lot of class after Liverpool's Champions League win too, sent a very nice message via his social media to congratulate the team, and especially Mr Klopp - as he called him  ;D

I still like Emre (don't miss him here though!), and hopefully if he moves, he settles at a good team where he can flourish.

i thought it was pretty clearly a dig at some of those on here who flew off the handle and lost their when he left, not the player. The kind that then had a go at the club (and some even at Klopp) for developing a top class player for another team, lamenting our chances of improving our midfield.

I took it as more of a dig at some of our fans than at Can. Not just about people losing their shit when he left, but also the section of our fanbase for the previous 2 years who refused to believe that Henderson was a good player and tried to use Can as the example of great world class talent that should/will be starting ahead of him and would also be a better captain than him. That stance looks a little foolish now to say the least.
