      I actually think a decent manager (which BR is far from) could get the best out of Balotelli.

      Take Giroud for example. He's been a laughing stock the first season he came to the PL, but Wenger found a way how to use him. He thrives being the target man, keeping the ball and flicking it on to his team-mates who are running in behind the defence.

      In comparison, we're not doing that. The team gets the ball to the box and starts jerking it around with no penetration whatsoever. I think Balo could be the man to keep the ball and distribute it to the runners in behind (IF ONLY WE HAD SOME).

      Balo had plenty chances to burst a gut last night and get a couple of tap ins, to me he reacts to stuff to late, the hull goal perfect example, his fault completly, he was 3 yards behind everybody else in getting out.

       I need a pair of the glasses that make him a player!!! all I'm seeing is a waste of space in a Liverpool shirt!!
      He changes the game in an amusing way that's for sure.If he comes on something funny will happen so he's right!

      Isnt Carroll on loan at West Ham? Bring him back, cant stand Balotelli anymore. We play it long and cross way more these days, big Andy would be useful.

      Slightly off topic (but only slightly) - I was chatting with a fellow Red, about all things Red, in work yesterday... manager; strikers; the lot.

      I mentioned that we were being link with Ciro Immobile. The lad very nearly choked getting his angst at the prospect out - long rant short: according to him; Immobile is just that and whilst half decent in the right system/set up, he wouldn't do for us as he's not the right type for how we play.

      Fair point, you would think until... you realise that the same lad wants Jürgen Klopp as our manager; the same manager who signed and plays Immobile in his system.

      Like I said; slightly off-topic... as you were.

      Fair point BBB but that lump has still scored more goals this season than all our lumps combined.

      Aye mate... but the fact remains - hypocrisy has become rife in the feeding frenzy over Brendan.

      You just have to look at how many Reds (on this forum alone) that have become the very thing they despised only a few short weeks ago. The posts are all there, should people need to be reminding.

      An introspective look at one's self (when one is in the middle of a mob) wouldn't go amiss in so many instances.

      So he'd only want Immobile here if Klopp was boss. ;D

      There is plenty of that around Mouse and maybe you think I'm on that list mate but as I've said any criticism I've levelled at Brendan over the last week or so is taking into account all factors.

      Everton's back four have scored more PL goals this season (9) than Liverpool's four specialist strikers (8 ).


      Nuff Said.

      Each to their own Si - you have your take on things (after much thought and soul-searching, I'd imagine) and I have mine. I've no intentions in falling out with anyone who expresses an opinion because I won't be shy in expressing mine.  8)

      There is still plenty of bollocks being posted about the manager though I'll give you that.

      Nip in and get Javier Hernandez after Real Madrid don't take the option of keeping him, that's one striker who will stick it in the net.

      Could have done a lot worse than getting him last summer. Oh wait....we did.

      After last night, Mario & Lambo can get tae, both too slow for a top team playing pass & move football.

      To be able to do that requires a top coach who has the know how and knows the strength of the players and play to their strength. Sadly, BR is playing it too safe and too one dimensional in his tactics. Balo could give many defenders nightmare inside the box, never mind whether he score goals or not, as long as he keeps defenders busy and opening up the space for others to score that's what he can do for us, sadly our rookie manager couldn't see that potential in him.
