      The 3 amigos of Rib, Heimdal and GermanPanzer have been suspiciously quiet lately, too.....
      CT_LFC, I said from the start Shaqiri was a good deal. Don't start telling lies about me. I actually came here to ask for opinions if people think he's even better than Coutinho, because I think he is a bit better.

      Had a quick scan through this thread and find very little negativity about Shaq maybe we know a bit more than Charlie Adam or Ratboy afterall. Keep working hard he will get better  another player who will be fresh in the new year for us.

      He's been a cracking signing and we really have a player who makes a difference when coming off the bench.

      i just keep thinking to myself if Ox hadn't gotten hurt how much more flexibility the manager would have to choose from; the gaffer has done a helluva job building this squad.

      F***ing love this lad me, so positive in his play and he seems to time his runs to perfection.

      Been a steal at the price we paid for him hasn't he.

      Boss signing,
      Boss attitude,
      Boss performances.

      Bargain of the season (although every player we get seems a bargain at the moment!) and is again a testament to Klopp, Edwards and everyone else involved in the transfers. Lots of teams would’ve swerved him because of his so called attitude.

      Isn’t it strange - his attitude seems to be one of his biggest strengths so far too

      Pundits & ex players  questioned his attitude & as always the way should be to do your talking on the pitch & he has, produced the goods & silenced the critics..

      He is equal with Vardy goals/assists and above Lukaku what a steal.

      Was unlucky not to have a couple of assists within five minutes after half time. What a pass that was to Mo.

      Exactly, his passing and shooting ablity are excellent. What he lacks is the first touch but then uses his body well.

      I always thought he'd be a very good player for us, but he's almost better than even I expected and for £12m, wow!!

      He is still learning the midfield role.

      We lack balance when he plays.......and he tends to overplay.

      Important goals this season and s role to play. I’m just not a huge fan of him in that AM free role.

      He's also improved his defending and tracking, and I think we'll see further improvements in those area's.

      I completely underestimated his slowness. He's just not fast enough. If he was he'd be world class. I envisioned him to become our Messi-kind-of-leader in the midfield, but he doesn't like to take the ball and command the midfield, maybe also Klopp doesn't allow it. He seems purely a striker. Would be interesting to look deeper if there's more in him than Klopp wants or forces. Still a good signing though. One silent game doesn't change anything.
