Sahin blew BR up in the media this morning. Said coach wanted him to play CAM but he's just not that good at it, so he rode pine. At one point he says "thank god I've left Brendan Rodgers" but they use that as a headline a bit out of context. He said he loved Anfield and was glad to be home at Dortmund, said it might not have ever happened if he didn't go to pool, then said thank god I left BR.
I guess BR insisted he play as a 10 and Nuri has never played there before so he got frustrated

Well I always wanted it to work out for Nuri when he was here ... I rmember watching him at Dortmund and he was amazing but he did play that deeper role and we just had too many guys trying to do that so it didn't work out for him.
So now let's go get Eriksen and make it all right

I think the media is misconstruing things. From reading the transcripts, I bet you Sahin said something like "Blah blah.....I was not able to play because I did not fit into the role the manager wanted me to play in. But now I have left Rodger's behind, Inshallah"
That is a very muslim thing to do. Say "inshallah" at the end of a sentence when you are hoping for something better. Which is exactly what he is trying to do now, get his footballing career back on track. Inshallah loosely translates to "thank god" or "god willing" and the UK media being the cu*ts they are will always make it sound the worst they possibly can.
Trust me I have watched enough India v Pakistan cricket. The Pakis say inshallah thrice in every badly constructed sentence at the post match presentations after getting their asses whopped.

I can't say I'm either surprised or upset over those comments. It's no secret, even among Liverpool fans, that Rodgers played Sahin out of position. It wasn't always that way, though. He started the season playing holding mid, which he did a serviceable job of doing.
But there was a stretch of matches at the beginning of the season where we flat out weren't scoring goals, and Rodgers literally played everyone he could at AM to see if they worked out. Allen, Gerrard, Henderson, Sahin, Shelvey, hell even Enrique tried playing the position. Eventually he settled on a formation that worked, and Sahin was just surplus at that point. Plus he broke his nose and was out for at least a month.
