Shaqiri's transfer from Stoke City to Liverpool elevated his downward moving career. Initially, Shaqiri was a doubtful pick, as the club had a good number of first class midfielders. Later, Jurgen Klopp showed faith in his signing, and Shaqiri was called off the bench regularly. Seeing Shaqiri's recent performances, the player should get quality play time for the club.

In conclusion, managers must also consider factors such as a player's current form, his chances to score against a particular type of competitor, & his coordination with the team, and not just fall for big names.
