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

[-V-]

I for one am glad he didn't celebrate. He should celebrate once he has made a significant difference to our season.

Balotelli's once chance of success in his career now is for Sturridge to take him under his wing and bring the best out of him. Ofcourse that also requires Sturridge to stay fit which is challenging enough

Tbf - getting the winning goal vs Spurs is a significant difference maker, without it we'd be even further off the pace for 4th but I get your point. He certainly needs to do more for us.

Comes on...scores winner. That's all I wanted. Screw the celebrations.

Deserves to be involved again today. Goal against Spurs was crucial and hopefully he can kick on.

[Buzzo]

Huge smiles from Mario when Lallana scored.

Thought he was great second half - led the line, held the ball up, passed it well and won free kicks. Great stuff.

[Daffy Duck]

If he can somehow turn it around and become a 16m player...?

[Kenneth]

Would be cool. That £16m could come in really useful in the summer.

[Daffy Duck]

He, he, he :Đ

[Buzzo]

Haters gonna hate

He made a difference when he came on.

[RichC]

Yup another one that deserves credit for his performance today.

Rodgers '‘The penny has dropped. Balotelli is training well now and starting to really work and to focus in on his job in the team."

[Vermilion]

Well done Mario.

Keep it up.

[dom9]

Terrible manager isn't he.

I've got no problem with him sticking it in to players in public.

[Buzzo]

I'd certainly say the last 2 games, and particularly today Mario has worked out how to play in our system. He seemed confident and sure of his role in the team for the first time.

Encouraging.
