Shaqiri: We've got the quality to bounce back

Xherdan Shaqiri is certain Liverpool have the quality in the ranks to respond to their FA Cup elimination when they return to Premier League duty this weekend.

The No.23 was brought into the starting XI at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night as one of nine changes made by Jürgen Klopp for the third-round tie at Molineux.

Things did not go the Reds’ way, though, with goals by Raul Jimenez and Ruben Neves overcoming Divock Origi’s strike early in the second half to knock Liverpool out.

Shaqiri felt fortune did not favour the visitors – his free-kick was tipped onto the upright and bounced clear at 2-1, for example – who included three debutants.
