The Liverpool attacker flattered to deceive this afternoon.
Xherdan Shaqiri didn’t have the best of games for Liverpool this afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp’s side laboured to a 2-0 win over Watford to move 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League.
The 28-year-old was given only his second start of the season but Shaqiri did little to justify Klopp’s faith in him with what was a relatively anonymous display, before being hauled off on 70 minutes.
Liverpool had a goal chalked off by VAR in the second half and it was a stunning cross from Shaqiri which led to it.
But apart from that, it was a subdued performance from a player perhaps still trying to hit peak fitness after spending a couple of months out injured.
Nevertheless, some Liverpool fans weren’t kind on Twitter and here’s some of the reaction:
As mentioned, Shaqiri isn’t totally fit as of yet and therefore this wasn’t a totally fair reflection on him as a player.
He is probably better as an impact player to begin with, but he has had some very big moments in a Liverpool shirt and no doubt he’ll have a lot more.
Mo Salah opened the scoring for the European Champions on 38 minutes, before grabbing a much-needed second in the dying stages.
