I only watched the first half before getting bored, sounds like I missed a good second half.
I agree with that ^ tho. He looked good on the ball, and seemed to work fairly hard defensively, but he doesn't seem to have the natural ability to find space, in fact quite the opposite. Whereas Silva seems to always be free, Assulin never seemed to. This could be why Barca let him go. He still looked fairly promising tho.
