Fans on Twitter react to Caulker’s strange debut against Arsenal

Liverpool fans on Twitter could not resist a few jokes after Steven Caulker’s debut as a makeshift striker against Arsenal.

Caulker joined the Reds on Tuesday on loan from QPR, his previous deal with Southampton being ended early.

But as surprising as that move was, it was nothing compared to the reaction when the centre-back was brought on to play up front as Liverpool successfully chased an equaliser against the Gunners.

Don’t care what anyone says #Caulker changed that game #LFC 😉

I bet a week ago Steven Caulker didn’t expect to come on for Liverpool against Arsenal at Anfield and play up front with Benteke #LFC

Caulker has played more minutes for #LFC than sturridge and he’s only been a Liverpool player a day.

QPR supporters also joined in the fun…

That’s where we went wrong. We played Caulker as a centre half! 🙂 #QPR
