Suso enjoying Liverpool's 'Spanish philosophy'

Suso insists he feels at home with the football philosophy at Liverpool, despite uncertainty over his long-term Anfield future.

The Spanish forward, 20, was one of a number of Reds players made available for moves elsewhere as the transfer deadline approached but, while Daniel Agger, Sebastian Coates, Jack Robinson and Oussama Assaidi all moved on, Suso, Lucas Leiva and Fabio Borini all stayed put.

The Spain U21 international believes that he benefits at Liverpool from manager Brendan Rodgers' training methods.

Suso told Liverpool's official website: "I look at him and I see him as similar to a Spanish coach because all the work we do in training is with the ball.

"Every time he asks us to do something it's with the ball. He wants us to play with the ball, never play a long ball, and for me that's really good because that's my philosophy. When I go away with Spain, it's more or less the same.

"It's a Spanish philosophy to play -- you always want the ball, don't lose it and give it to the opposition. It's really good for me and the team."

Suso, who arrived at Liverpool from Cadiz as a 16-year-old in 2010, spent last season on loan at Almeria in La Liga.

He made 26 league starts as Almeria avoided relegation by one point, but his chances at Anfield have been limited.
