Xherdan Shaqiri Admits 'Harder Time' at Liverpool But Insists Klopp Doesn't Have to Keep Him Happy

Liverpool summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri may have played a collective total of only 102 minutes of football for his new club, but he is not getting down about his prospects as he insists he came 'fully aware' of the competition for places at Anfield.

Shaqiri has started just once for Liverpool this season and was substituted at half-time for that encounter against Southampton. However, he has impressed in his cameo appearances as Liverpool sit third in the Premier League table, unbeaten after eight games.

The former Stoke forward, who is currently on international duty with Switzerland, claims he understands manager Jurgen Klopp's squad policy and he is prepared to wait for chances.
