He's a decent player that is playing in an isolated workmanlike role.... that he cannot play. With 2 up top and an actual functioning midfield.. he'd be much better IMO.

Hope he has learnt the offside ruleComment

If he changed his name to Ricardo Lamberto I reckon we'd see a much improved player

Doesn't suit how we play best yet if you listen to James Pearce he was a player Rodgers really pushed for along with Lovren and Lallana. Why?Comment

Strange when he never believed in having a Plan B and couldnt get Carroll out the door quick enough. Strangely, Carroll would be pretty good in the style we are currently playingOriginally posted by G View PostComment

Personally think he'd offer more as a midfielder...... Lone striker he is not and not the ideal answer as part of a 2 up top.... but in the absence of **** all else, hey ho 😦Comment

southampton played a system that better suited the players they had. im sure we could emulate this with the lack of strikers but wealth of midget lightweight midfielders we have.removing all the weak links makes us stronger
too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.Comment

With the speed/guile we could play ahead of him, it'd certainly suit his style of player much better.Comment

Agreed. Though the shipping out of Carroll was more down to the club not being able to accommodate such an expensive player on the bench.Originally posted by Sarb View Post
Using the above example will show the idea the club has for Balotelli. If we signed a major striker he's out the door by the summers end.Forwards.......Comment

He's the perfect cheap plan B bench option if we had the same strike force we had last season, the problem is we haven't and he's been thrust into a lead striker role asked to play in a way he is physically incapable of doing as he has all the mobility of a corpseKurtangled in the McFadden thread 16/01/08

Bump. His thread was relegated to page 4. I guess that says it all
An absolute fish out of water. His confidence has nosedived so much that he's forgotten how to even do that basics.
That tame finish summed him up, all confidence has gone. I wouldn't even have him on the bench at the moment to be honest. Poor lad, his dream move has turned into a bit of a nightmare.Comment

Should be loaned out for his own sake. That lame effort when Gerrard put it on a plate for him summed the guy up. Not LFC standard (although tbf he is not alone on that front)."Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob PaisleyComment

He'll be gone in the summer. Only a rumour but I heard back in November time that he asked if he could leave in January due to a lack of playing time. He's since had a fraction more but he keeps making an arse of himself. Feel so sorry for him. He's clearly better than he's showing but at the same time I think this move has highlighted his deficiencies. I thought a nice little lower league ground might make him feel at home
...but he looked lost as usual.
