A few Liverpool fans have not forgiven Gary Neville for his previous criticism of summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri.
The former Manchester United man, as well as his brother Phil, were hugely critical of the Switzerland international for the way he conducted himself at Stoke City during their relegation last season, as referenced in this Telegraph piece.

In case you missed the game last night, Shaqiri came on as a sub and was excellent as we thrashed Napoli 5-0.
The 26-year-old really looks like he could make a big impact at Anfield despite being written off by the Neville brothers, so a few LFC fans are really letting Gary have it on Twitter.

Well, watching Shaqiri so far makes me realise Gary Neville is no better a judge of players now, than he was during his hilarious run as Valenica manager!

Correct me if I’m wrong but how can the Neville brothers and Adam say all this Shaqiri? He’s not stopped running.

Various tweets show fans targeting the pundit over his Shaqiri comments, though he’s simply tweeted that he plans to carry on – especially as he’s now a Liverpool player!
Bring it on, Gary, you’re going to be made to look very silly (well, sillier) by the end of the season…
