Mario Balotelli: Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers backs striker
Mario Balotelli: Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers backs striker
This guy is a train-wreck. Why any team would sign such a player is beyond my understanding. Some players have disciplinary issues, but actually perform on the pitch. This guy never does anything, yet we have a 26-page thread about him. Close this thread, and everyone will have a much better time.
I heard Brenton trot out the old "we were just happy he was getting into the positions to miss the chances" the other day 
Brenton just makes me laugh, the other week he chucked him under the bus. Now, suddenly that Sturridge is injured again, he tries to big him up, even after last weekends comically inept demonstration of how to be a centre forward.I heard Brenton trot out the old "we were just happy he was getting into the positions to miss the chances" the other day
I feel a red card coming soon.
Watch him score a hattrick tonight.
I don't highly rate him as a player but I do feel a bit sorry for him as a person. He's been infantalised by the press and the Internet in the name of headlines and banter and although some problems are of his own making, seems to have to keep moving clubs in search of something he's not getting. There was the racism in Italy, he didn't get on with Mancini, going back to the club he supported in Milan was a letdown, know he's gone to a club that didn't seem to want him to begin with. He seems an unhappy guy.
I think breaking up with his fiancee might play a bigger part.
"know he's gone to a club that didn't seem to want him to begin with." - ffs. Only caftards believe that because they want to believe.
Spurs signing waiting to happen.
You don't think Rodgers's position on him and his public comments kind of support that idea?
there's no doubting he was a bit of a panic buy though, a punt in a hope he'd come good, he probably knows that himself.
I'm amazed that with the scouting network you'd expect Pool to have, they couldn't find a talented striker and instead spent £16m on one of the biggest risks in football.
That's an exaggeration true but I think it's pretty clear he wasn't Liverpool's first choice.
Rodgers pretty much said in not so many words that he wasn't first choice.
That's obviously short-hand for saying that Liverpool would have preferred to sign someone else instead of him, given the choice. Which Rodgers himself confirmed:
Will have been a real kick in the balls for Balotelli to hear how far down their shopping list he was when Liverpool were looking for a Suarez replacement. Which is the point being made in the post you're responding to.
Wouldnt surprise me if he has his biggest and best game of his career and Liverpool somehow win this
That and Mignolet has the game of his life.

I think it will be a close match. Liverpool (although struggling defensively) aren´t Levante or Granada. Real´s performance against Ludogorets wasn´t that inspiring. It will be 2-1 to Madrid in my opinion. Balotelli to score one 
Well yes. I don't think that is necessarily a kick in the balls for him or anyone.

You are probably right but to think what Bobby Zamora was doing to them the other day and then replace him with Ronaldo, there is definitely the possibility of a humping.
Enjoyed reading the first page of this thread hehe.
Yep, he was some bargain.
Absolute garbage once more. Have never rated him and never ever saw what the fuss was about.
Being a top player is about so much more than just having talent.

Looks like he doesn't really give a shit.
No coincidence he was sold three times for <20m each time.

His movement is none existent. Doesn't give you any hope or belief when he's up front.
If Balotelli doesn't turn it around at Liverpool, I would say his elite career at the top European clubs will just about be over.
He's already punched way above his weight because he doesn't even have the ability to play for some of the clubs he has. He's lived off his wacky persona. He's probably a capable back up for some good teams, but he'll never be fit to lead a top clubs front line.
He's the new Anelka.
Anelka was great for a few years. Balotelli is the new Cassano
He'll probably get a move to Juventus at some point.
Then probably Newcastle.
Then probably Newcastle.
He'll look like a totally different player against us and we all know it.
Assuming he's not dropped/kicked out of the club by then.

Harsh on Anelka.
Did Stelling announce Lolotelli didn't reappear on the bench for the second half? Did he storm off in a huff?
Anelka actually did the business though.
Anelka actually scored, and looked lively and a danger.
Balotelli is actually a wank version of Berbatov, and that's saying something.
Can somebody actually break down his 'talent' for me?
Other than occasionally spanking a hard shot, and taking a cool penalty..
And being fast or 'strong' doesn't count.
