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

[captainfog]

Played well yesterday, that public kick up the arse really worked

[Kenneth]

He's only had two better games for us.

[Cormack74]

Let him loose against Citeh, he'll be ripping it up.

[fidget]

Was the least ****e (by a long way) of our attackers tonight.

[Buzzo]

He did well first half, was the only forward the ball stuck too. He seemed to be playing right wing second half, which will clearly never work.

[G]

He was our best attacker which wasn't saying much, great pass to Sturridge first half when he should have hit it first time, I'd have left him on if he wasn't on a yellow. He gave Rodgers absolute daggers when he took him off.

[Kenneth]

Sterling did more than Mario, a decent shot on target and one just wide. He was more wasteful, but then he saw more of the ball in his deeper role. Mario was better than sturridge, who was woeful, but it wasn't a positive game for Mario or any of them.

[fidget]

Insert contrarian view

[Kenneth]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the amazing 6 yard obvious pass to sturridge. Thank God for Super Mario. He was ****, but not the ****test, we'll done him.

[Buzzo]

Your sarcasm switch got stuck in the 'on' position again

If anyone else sets that up they get credit, if it's Mario, it's an obvious pass

To be fair he won the ball then played in Sturridge. Fought back and won the ball a few times, won a lot of free kicks, and looked to win the ball in the air. Fairs fair. Not a masterclass but not bad performance first half, he worked harder than the other 2.

[fidget]

And don't forget to throw in some petulance

No issue with someone getting credit for it. 'Great' though? I think that's trying too hard. If people were being honest and objective, he was poor today. As they aren't, he was relatively not all that poor.

Boohoo. Is he talking about Hendo, or just anyone in general?

[Gibbo]

I imagine he's talking about some of the fans.

But Yknow, let's say he hates Hendo because that's better.

[Slinky Skills]

The sooner he's gone the better. He's a sack of hopeless **** that lad.
