Xherdan Shaqiri’s absence from the lineup for Monday night’s Premier League coup against Arsenal (3-1) raises questions. A few days earlier, Nati’s star had evoked in the League Cup against third-division Lincoln City (7-2): for his free kick turned directly into the 1-0 lead, he even earned additional praise from the coach Jürgen Klopp: «Shaq played a very good game and his balls at rest were excellent. And the free kick? What kind of goal was that ?! “
He meets again: Here Shaq hits the ball wonderfully on the net(00:18)
And now? In the duel with Granit Xhaka’s arsenal, Shaqiri is not even on the bench. Why doesn’t Klopp just question the hierarchy in the star cluster? Against the “Gunners” runs the superior trio Salah / Mané / Firmino. The bank? Minamino, Jota, Origi and Youngster Jones all have excellent personnel on offense.
Or is Kloppo not turning to Shaq because Shaq is already working on a change in the background? Because: If the former Bayern, Inter and Stoke legionnaire wants to leave, he has to hurry until Monday’s transfer deadline.
Meanwhile, there is speculation on social media that Klopp managed without Shaqiri because Arsenal will return to Anfield on Thursday. This time for the round of 16 of the League Cup. So the competition in which the Basler was the first option in the “Reds”. Solo: That won’t meet the demands of Shaqiri, who has finally recovered after various thigh problems. (mpe)
