Exit Shaqiri?

[Les Zeffelin]

I'm sure with injuries & whatnot Shaq will get his fair share of game time.

Yeah surprised he hasn't got bit more game time but I think wants to get the first 11 lads match fitness up first and foremost.

Am I right in thinking Bobby has played every minute so far? Must be close to it hey?

I’m sure your right but I’d have him ahead of Lallana at present & they’ve both only made 1 sub appearance out of 3. Jurgen is sharing the cameos around it appears.

First sub off against West Ham iirc.

Depends on the individual I suppose as to how long it takes the to get match sharp. Bobby going down with cramp last week is something I have never seen him do & clearly the guy is not near his peak performance yet.

ok better memory than me you do.

4 days between matches probably didn’t help either.

Not featured recently. I think maybe the boss is breaking him down before building him back up again.

Don’t know why cause he looked alright in preseason

[Big-Red-Ed]

Maybe his pre season went too well and because he is a cocky little fecker (fine by me) his own expectations are too high. Just a theory .

Or could be Klopp doing the same with Shaqiri and Fabinho this season as he did with Chamberlain and Robertson last season. Maybe thinking they are not quite there in terms of being ready and he is playing the long game so they hit the ground running when they get their chances.

[dom9]

Or maybe with no midweek games and plenty of rest time, Klopp is simply throwing everything at getting maximum points by ruthlessly playing his first choice team.

[Charly]

He has not needed to rotate. There is a lot of logic in keeping it the same, where possible.

Thr other point is maybe more important. Klopps system is very, very tactical. Players need to press in the correct way or gaps will appear in the wrong place. It probably takes a while to get up to speed, so that it is instinctual

Klopp has improved pretty much every player since he arrived, so I am not going to question it too much at this stage. Its a long season. I am certain he will have a big part to play

[Les Zeffelin]

Agreed. Shaq has been here 5 minutes. We've played 3 games in anger. His time will come.

[Sus]

We've got a busy September and October, so wonder if he's being saved for that run of games? Will really need the full squad then

lol Shaq looking at Daddy Klopp
