Seriously, what is the deal? Lightweight, getting used to the league, erratic, etc whatever the problem, he has something we do miss.... a bti of creativity, something different in attack if Sturridge and Suarez are not firing. Also, at the time we said 3 mil no problem but if he is just going to sit the bench, why did we buy him? Would that 3 mil been better used for dempsey or Sturridge in the summer? Think he should play on Sunday, along with Suso, Coutinho, and Sturridge if all fit and available.
Just stinks of **** up, like Sahin. Sahin is a class player and something there went wrong, I bet he will be class again at BVB.
No idea why sterling can get so many games but assaidi can't even get a chance - the little he has played for us he hasn't exactly looked **** has he? Looked like he could have been handy once getting used to his team mates etc. no idea why he just never gets a minute of playing time
I personally think that BR bought Assaidi, Borini and Allen without having had time to assess the squad properly. I think he started in the deep end and he is slowly struggling against the tide to get the the shallow side. He is currently on his tip-toes IMO
If ever a team he needs to get his debut against it is Swansea as they play on the ground and he would probably get some success running at some of the backs.
What I've heard and it's fairly reliable as these things go is ... Assaidi is having fierce problems settling in England. Now this could be just spin like the Doni thing ''he's not happy in the reserves, he's injured, hes awol , he's on a break'' when infact the lad died at Melwood for 27 seconds.
