Charlie Adam getting stuck into shaqiri in the press today

He should try humble pie instead, after geting relegated

The last thing Charlie Adam needs is more pie.

I think people underestimate Shaqiri.  Honestly had him in my fantasy football team for a few years.  You won't find a better bench attacker and I reckon he'll push hard for a starting role.

Our attacking line was mind blowing last season but we rode our luck with injuries.  The final showed up just how thin we were when we lost Salah sadly.

Ah yes, the Scottish Shaqiri. Except quite a bit fatter, balder, and with worse teeth. Oh, and he's not very good at that football bit.

I think his family fled to an area near Basel, which would be in the German speaking part of Switzerland, but it's quite close to the French speaking area, so a chance he'd speak at least some French too. And then Albanian at home I would guess.

A multi lingual guy for sure!

Is this the R2D2 reference?

If we can get his work rate up he's going to be a great player for us. The one main concern talking to a few Stoke fans I know is that he can go missing in big games and doesn't work as hard as he should. If klopp can get that out of him, which I'm sure he can then he'll be really good here.

Always thought the same, looked lazy as fuck.  However considering Oxlade is out for most of the season I can see why Klopp committed the club to another 'tricky' player who can unlock defensive banks.  Against top sides you lot did the business last season, it's against the rest you dropped a few and look to be rectifying that.

He has been. But he'll have to change that here. I think he will too, he won't be playing every game and we'll make sure he's fitter than ever. Klopp won't play a player who won't press. We'll see a new Shaqiri this season. Let's be honest he's most likely the nearest thing we'll get to a Coutinho replacement this season due to Fekir's knees, he'll have to up his game.

To derail a little:  I've been out of the loop with the transfer nonsense this summer - was the Fekir deal confirmed as pulled because of his knees or is this a case of chinese whispers?  Can certainly see why Klopp wouldn't want that when he expects a higher intensity level from his forwards.

If Klopp didn't think he could coach Shaqiri's flaws out he wouldn't have spent the money, regardless of whether it's a "low risk" signing by today's standards.

Although if Xherdan isn't relishing the prospect of playing alongside these lads and giving his all then he'd need his head examining anyway because he's clearly got a worse concussion than Karius!

Ha ha like Charlie but his comments cheesed me off.

Didn't he Charlie get a red card and missed vital games?

Didn't Charlie also take the ball off Jose for a pen then bloody miss it?

Many a time Shaqiri scored or created chances for Stoke but their defence were poor or Charlie was busy eating Chips.

Yeah he failed the medical. Journo say we want a no.10 but no more signings this summer. So I guess we wait another year for the Coutinho replacement but have strengthened other areas instead. I'm a little concerned we lack depth in attack but I think Klopp reckons Keita can do a job there and we have Wijnaldum and Milner who can play a deeper role in midfield.

We don't play with a "left forward" in the traditional sense. We play mostly with a defensive inside forward/mid. He can definitely do that job.

How would you define Mane's role/position? That's where i think we lack a quality second option in case of injury.

Playing Stoke, the better teams knew all they had to do was develop a tactic to eliminate Shaqiri and that was 95% of the attacking threat put to bed. Playing LFC there'll be 9 other players that can cause you problems.
