The midfielder wasted several opportunities in the win over West Bromwich Albion.
Liverpool’s Emre Can in action
Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has joked on Instagram he will improve his shooting ability in future.
The midfielder was in impressive form on Saturday afternoon as he played a big role in his team’s 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion.
He played a key part of the Reds opening goal in the game, setting up Philippe Coutinho to cross the ball for Sadio Mane to break the deadline.

However, there was one part of his game that was not quite impressive and that was his shooting.
He posted three shots in total but failed to get a single one of them on target, a disappointing return to say the least.
Indeed it continued his poor run of form in front of goal for the Reds, having only managed two goals in 62 appearances for them since signing in 2014.
It is a problem he appears to be aware of, having vowed to improve his shooting in a post in Instagram.
While Can’s shooting performance may have been off the mark, his team’s overall display was not as they secure all three points.
Their win, coupled with Arsenal and Manchester City drawing, means all three are now level at the top of the Premier League table.
It is a fine start to the campaign for them and Can will be hoping to play a bigger role after losing his place to Georginio Wijnaldum at the beginning of the campaign.
