The Reds legend doesn't believe that the Swiss winger deserves a starting spot at Anfield, despite his impressive recent performances
Former midfielder John Barnes insists that Liverpool's current starting XI is stronger without Xherdan Shaqiri, suggesting he should only be deployed against 'weaker teams'.
The 27-year-old has featured in 18 games across all competitions for the Reds this term, largely used from the bench as an impact player.
The Switzerland international has contributed six goals and two assists to date, most notably hitting a brace against Manchester United to help Liverpool secure a 3-1 home win earlier in December.
