Ballotelli
Why does anyone pay this clown a wage? One man disaster area.
Re: Ballotelli
Arsenal got Sanchez, Chelsea got Fabregas and Costa, we got Ballotelli.
No fucking wonder we are eighth *rolls eyes*

Re: Ballotelli
I don't think that you can blame Liverpool's woes on Balotelli.
Re: Ballotelli
I'm not a big fan of Ballotelli, but I do feel the guy is getting some very unfair flak this season. Liverpools troubles are nothing to do with Ballotelli, it's down to Rodgers
A - making too many changes in the summer (unsettled what had been a stable side last season, and it can take time for players to fit in, especially when you make so many new signings).
B - having no faith in his squad he finished last season with. As soon as the season ended he was talking about the need to strengthen to cope with CL football and an increase in matches, which was basically saying the group that would've won the league last season had Gerrard not slipped in the Chelsea game weren't good enough for the CL and weren't up to playing an extra few matches during the course of the season, not exactly a confidence builder.
C - not knowing his best team and continually changing it.
D - keeping Gerrard, a distinctly average player even at his best, but who is now at the end of the road and is trying to manipulate a big deal which is unsettling for the squad (he's refused to sign a new deal that was more than fair for a 34 year old, and has been putting stories out there in the media about potentially heading elsewhere in an attempt to force a better deal).
E - Ballotelli when he has played has more often than not been played as a lone striker (last season Rodgers played with two strikers, with Saurez and Sturridge being labelled the new SAS) and it's never fair to judge a striker who is being deployed in such a way.

Re: Balotelli
It's Balotelli not Ballottelli.
