Nuri Sahin says he's being played out of position at Liverpool.

The Turkish international joined the Reds on loan during the summer from Real Madrid.

They snapped him up after seeing the 24-year-old dominate the midfield from a holding role for Borussia Dortmund.

But when Sahin turned up at Liverpool, he found himself shunted into playing behind Luis Suarez.

Sahin insisted: "I've played my whole career deeper but I have played as a No 10 here. It was new for me but I tried my best.

"If I could choose a position it would be holding as I feel more comfortable there."
