Watched the both semi finals for nations trophy and I thought Shaqiri played really well for Switzerland if I'm honest anything they did well went through him👍 . and then watched English game last night and have to say Memphis Depay looked absolutely shocking and I hope we're seriously not interested in him because no way on earth is he an upgrade on Shaqiri.

So you are basing your judgement on Shaq and Depay on one international semi-competitive game.

I think he's basing his judgement on watching the players play!

Shaq ALWAYS plays well for the Swiss. He is in charge down there and the system they play fits him like a glove. I remember watching him play vs Belgium earlier in the year in the Nations' League and he was simply unplayable. Was that down to him being "on one" on the day or down to the Belgium team giving him the time and space the size of Anfield to operate, I don't know. I do know he was brilliant.

Same for Depay. Saw him play for Holland vs France and Germany as well and he was also brilliant esp. vs Germany where he terrorized Hummels (not that big of a deal as he has become dreadful) all game long. Therefore, int'l games are not the best way to judge players cos of the nature of these games.

Players have poor games. Sometimes the ball just won't run right for them. You could watch one or two games from salah's wonder season and say "he looks poor"

Imo shaq is the better player. He is a luxury player.

Who is the player more willing to track back. I didn't really notice shaq slacking for us. Im glad he is in our squad. And Depay IS a good player whom id be happy to have in the squad. I have a feeling Adam Lallana is going to have a decent season, free from injury, looked good in the few times we saw him.

If he found his form of 2016/ 17 he could be the AM that we need. Its not outside the realms possibility.

Shaqs free role for the Swiss suits him perfectly. Our 433 system doesn't suit his strengths currently. But shaq has performed well more often than not when we've used him, he had a quiet spell of 4 or 5 matches before we switched to 433 and people quickly forgot he played well for us in the 4231 for a couple of months prior. November and December he rarely had a bad game. Origi never featured then cos that formation wasn't suited to him. I like shaqiri personally and he seems to have a love for the club, celebrating and showing emotion even when going months on the bench.
