At times it feels like only Suarez has the ability and ambition to take the initiative. Wish we had another Suarez in our team. I'm not even being greedy. Just one more.
Suso coming off was a bit annoying though. Perhaps Rogers was protecting him and trying to use his sparingly as he is new to the team but he has the beating of his man and seems to have the ability to make something happen.
I don't disagree with any of that and I was also disappointed to see Suso go off. Joe Cole for Sahin (which is what it was when Assaidi came on) was an alright thing to try, in my opinion.
I think I would have preferred Assaidi on for Raheem. I thought Stoke were well prepared for his pace and cuts inside and that perhaps Assaidi foot work might create something. We did not get him the ball enough when he did come on. Not sure if the players are not yet comfortable with him, but he was often open and not used.
