Charlie Adam slams Shaqiri for ‘getting away with murder’

Charlie Adam has hit out at new Liverpool signing and former Stoke City teammate Xherdan Shaqiri and branded him as one of a number of players that got away with murder.

Adam, who played for the Reds between 2011 and 2012, said that there were certain players “getting away with murder” at Stoke City – a claim that he revealed that included the former Basel and Bayern Munich man.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Adam said: “Was he one of them? Oh, definitely,”

“When the chips are down you look at your big players, you want your big players to bring magic in one moment in the season.

“And at times we felt like the so-called big players in the squad never turned up for us and never performed.

“Yeah, everybody else could help.

“But for all the plaudits the so-called bigger players were getting from certain members of the management staff last season – they weren’t producing.”

Liverpool signed Shaqiri last week after activating the player’s relegation release clause for £13.5million.

The Switzerland international is currently on holiday and is expected to join the rest of the squad on their tour of the United States.
