Mario Balotelli

Discussion in 'Liverpool' started by jaffaklopp, Oct 19, 2014.

  1. Can't believe he missed that chance earlier today though. He a lazy lump who hogs the central area and is suppose to be the deadly presence in the box but misses a open net from about three yards <doh>

    If we just put like, a sand bag or a beach ball in the box and aimed at it hoping for a deflection I'm sure we'd score more goals, and they'd look livelier and care more. So ****ing angry <grr>

  3. I used to get angry after a poor performance and/or loss. Under Woy I was pissed off every week so nowadays I just remind myself of that period of time; things could be worse. Problem is, Mario annoys me as much as Woy did <laugh>

    But seriously, I don't usually get pissed off any more. Its not fair on my kids if I start taking it out on them. In the unlikely event its a bad enough game to piss me off, I'll give myself half hour before interacting with them, sort of like a cooling period <ok>

    <laugh> the Balotelli #rage is almost as hilarious as Tobes/UiR's #rage

    Balotelli was in the right place for the goalkeeper parry, and in the right place for the first own goal, and in the right place for the second own goal

    There was one time he definitely didn't make the right run but so long as we win I'm not going to judge him until we see him with Sturridge again

  8. A jerk reaction would suggest its from one instance whether that be a miss or performance. That seriously doesn't cover me as regards to Mario :)

    6 games. 1 of which was with what we might consider a first team (no injuries).

    Not that I want to speak for him, but pretty sure like me, Gerrez refers to Balotelli's entire footballing history and not just his time at Liverpool. He's never impressed me, even when the media creams over his bad boy attitude and wonder goals. He's never been a team player and has never worked hard for the cause - just for himself. You can't kneejerk based on an entire career.

    Just look at the way he had his back to everything that was going on, sulking, for QPR's first own goal. Thank god he wasn't interested as the R's defender gave a better finish than he could ever manage

    He wasn't in the 'right place' for either of the OG's, as in both cases he was beyond the defender and made no run towards the ball, if the CB's had have done their jobs properly they'd have cleared the ball and not spooned it into their own net. In neither case did he have any impact whatsoever.

    He was total bobbins today, as he has been on every other occasion he's pulled on your shirt.

    As a lover of the stat, why don't you see how many of his goals for Milan were from actual open play as opposed to penalties and free kicks...........he's ****ing ****.

    No, he was in t he right place as if the defender didn't get anything on it he would have had a tap in (although based on this game he'd have probably missed <laugh>)

    IF he wasn't anywhere near, the defenders could have afforded to leave rather than attempt to clear <ok>

    Bollocks.

    For the first one he had his back to the play and only realised the ball was live when he turned round about 2 seconds before Dunne scored his OG - zero impact.

    For the 2nd OG it hit Caulkers heel Balotelli had zero impact over that either.

    You're clutching at straws, he was absolute bobbins

    Any sort of striker would make a run across the defender, instead he was the wrong side and had the defender done his job there was zero danger from him.

    So you think if Balotelli wasn't anywhere near the play the OG's would have still happened?

    Johnson wouldn't have crossed it if Balotelli wasn't there (whether he was looking or not) and Sterling wouldn't have passed it if he wasn't there either.

    Seriously? He was about as much use a chocolate fire guard today, trying to attribute some sort of assist for the OG's to him is beyond desperate
