Just a thought on Big Rickie, how does everyone think he would be faring if he had been afforded as many opportunities to show his stuff as Balotelli has in the first 11?
I just look back at some of the scintillating football Saints have played over the past couple of seasons and Rickie was very much a part of that. They did so many of the things that LFC try to do, they shorten the pitch, press the ball high, play a passing game with good movement and tempo and the big fella did not look out of place. And generally playing as a lone frontman I might add. The consensus seems to be that Balotelli can't play the role and I would completely agree with that. Maybe Rickie can though, if given a proper run in the side ie. "your in for the next few games lad, show us what you can do, play yourself into some form (that is what Balotelli has been given in spades)
