​Shaqiri admits frustration with Liverpool game time

rSwiss international Xherdan Shaqiri admits his frustration over game time at the club.

The right winger has only played off the bench twice this season, which is a similar story to last season.

While Shaqiri has made important contributions, he knows that he is having a tough time dislodging the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane from the wide positions.

It is possible that Shaqiri will ask for a transfer in January, but a move next summer is the outcome that looks the most likely.

"It is not easy for me, of course I am a little downbeat," Shaqiri told Teleclub.

"You have to be able to handle that and you have to accept it, I was always still in the squad.

"You cannot ask the coach to play every match."
