Stoke City boss Mark Hughes insists new signing Victor Moses was not to blame for his unfortunate season at Liverpool.<\/p>\n
The Super Eagles forward has joined the Potters on a season-long loan from Chelsea and could make his debut against Hull on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Moses arrives with a point to prove after flopping while on loan at Anfield last season – making just half-a-dozen league starts.<\/p>\n
Hughes said: “He hasn’t played a great deal in the last couple of seasons, so he wants to play and he will be given that opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feel he’s a player that can give us power and give us pace and we’ve probably lacked that a bit\u201d<\/p>\n

“It’s up to him if he takes it and I’m sure he will.<\/p>\n
“They (Liverpool) found a way of playing they stuck to and he was left out.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think it was his fault, he just didn’t get back into the team. That can happen when you go to a big club.”<\/p>\n
Hughes admits he was surprised to be able to land Moses and confirmed his arrival all but ends their interest in Nathan Redmond and Oussama Assaidi.<\/p>\n
“We’re pleased we’ve been able to get him in,” said Hughes. “We didn’t think we would have that opportunity.<\/p>\n
“That’s probably all our business done now. We feel he’s a player that can give us power and give us pace and we’ve probably lacked that a bit.”<\/p>\n
