Jurgen Klopp is coming under fire from Liverpool fans despite Sunday’s win.
Liverpool moved back to the top of the Premier League on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side snatched a stoppage-time winner to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at Anfield to move two points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Liverpool fans erupted but when the smoke settled, many were asking a familiar question: what has Xherdan Shaqiri done to deserve his treatment by the Reds manager?
When Klopp needed a goal, he chose Divock Origi and Fabinho to come on in the 77th minute instead of Shaqiri, who has played 18 minutes of football in nearly two months.
He has been an unused substitute in seven of Liverpool’s last eight games, having established himself as a big squad player for the German manager earlier this season.
The Switzerland international has six goals in 11 Premier League starts for the Merseyside club and a lot of fans on Twitter are calling on Klopp to end whatever beef may exist, after snubbing him again yesterday.
Shaqiri being consistently snubbed might not be such a bad thing for Liverpool.
Okay so he would rather play, but this is a player who needs constant motivation and he will be hungrier than ever to prove a point when Klopp does start playing him regularly again.
