Mario Balotelli [On the Road to Ballon d'or)

[Buzzo]

Yeah, it's not happening for him.

He looks utterly lost and out of form, he's trying but it's not happening. He doesn't seem to have worked out how to play in our formation, nor has Lambert for that matter.

Shame. Personally, I like him and I would be chuffed for him to score for us in a big game like that.

[Keyser Soze]

He's absolute ****.
Watch Costa's movement always on the defender always attacking the goal.
Mario on the other hand drops back, pulls wide WTF? if Rodgers is telling him to do this then Rodgers is an absolute ****. If Balo is doing this (and it was a common complaint at Milan) then he needs ****ing off.

Balotelli, Lambert and Borini the worst group of strikers the club has ever seen.

This I would agree with.

[RedRum]

I'm not sure signing italians is a good idea for us going forward. Dossena, Aquilani, Borini, Balotelli...

[Fierce]

So frustrating. He's skilful, very strong, much quicker than I thought he was, but thick as ****. It's weird, it's like he can't concentrate on playing football at all times. He does something well, and then something completely ****ing rubbish. But it seems to all stem from decision making to me

No point selling if he's not going to be replaced, because despite all the above he still looks better than Lambert

[McDermotX]

with seconds ticking away, he's fannying around on the line rather than playing a simple pass to Hendo only metres away...and predictably, he loses it. He is the antithesis of our style of play.

Yeah, that really annoyed my alright. You could see the gears working in his head as he saw himself coming in and scoring from 30yds.
Selfish play.

[Zapater]

No idea why he was deployed to pick up Ivanovic. I'm not a fan of man to man marking at the best of times but the whole point of it is to have your best players on theirs. Rodgers should never have allowed this to happen, it's a recipe for disaster.

Oh Mario

Rodgers has proven throughout his time here and back at Swansea that he can't organise a defence.
He's then went a bought a bunch of goal shy players who can't mask this deficiency.

Think Shaggy tweeted something similar

[DeanoUK]

**** him, left it until now, but he offers nothing but butt jizz on the pitch. Get rid ASAP. I'd even offload him now with no replacement just to save on his wages.

[Montana]

Shouldn't have been brought back in but I suspect Rodgers wanted to gamble and rub Jose's nose in it hoping Mario would somehow become match winner. A mistake.

Experiment over. Sell, sell, sell or just leave out completely.

Would much rather have Ibe or Sinclair backing up our strikers. Nothing against him, but it's so obvious he doesn't fit our style of play and pressing, whatever formation we play.

[PTP]

He's a cunt

He did a couple of things in glimpses that were class. But then just flicks a switch and does something stupid. Like when he challenges the keeper, gets there, shrugs him wins the ball....good ****ing play, well done.....and then, ****ing turns and balloons it over the ball. Seriously what the ****.

Aye sums him up.

[BobTheCharmer]

Bloody hell,even after the performance and effort from the team,people still want to pick out individuals to bitch at. Post about players that did well.
