and they have managed to win only two of their last five matches. The Reds were the model of consistency when they won the league title last year but they have failed to adapt to the league’s tight schedule in their current campaign. However,

believes that Liverpool still have the chance to turn things around and win the league trophy.

"We are like normal people who have ups and downs. That's normal. We are not robots who can always be on 200 per cent,"

Shaqiri told the 

Daily Mail

.

"The teams in the Premier League are good, even the small teams are difficult to play. The top teams are not always good. It's not just us.

"Maybe we have had a few games where we were not so good. There have been a lot of top teams this season who have not been on top form but we are still there and in the top three or four so we cannot complain it's so bad. I see it differently to people from outside.

"We are one of the best teams in the Premier League and the world. We are normal people and not robots, so we have weak moments sometimes when we are not so good and other teams are getting better all the time and that's also a normal thing in life.

"We are in the best league in the world and this season you can see that everybody can beat everybody. It's going to be an interesting season. The league title is still open. It's going to be special in this way."

Asked about his role in the squad and his former injuries, Shaqiri responded:

"If someone is injured or out and you get the chance to make the difference," he said. "I know what I can do and what I can bring to the team. The team knows my qualities. It is also important to me that we are good together in the dressing room and we are a good team. 

"I am not a bad guy and I'm a team player and I like to do everything for this team and I have a lot of experience now and I'm happy to help other players."

He added:

"I could not be more proud of what I have achieved until now. I never thought in my life I was going to play for the kind of clubs I have played for. I can say I fulfilled my dreams 200 per cent.

"I will not say I fulfilled my potential but I have showed many times what kind of potential I have. I am still 29. I can still improve myself. I can say I fulfilled my dreams 100 per cent and I gave 100 per cent always and what I achieved until now is unbelievable."
