i must admit i completely forgot we had rossiter.
given his performance in his last match, he deserves another go really.
gonna be watching can and markovic closely and especially borini/lambert pairing if rodgers does what we hope up front.

I Read on twitter Villa have lost all their games since they plated us and haven't even scored a goal...

People seem to have lost faith in Balotelli pretty quickly. He really hasn't performed and he has missed a few sitters but just give him a bit more time. He has always said throughout his career that he is not a lone striker and he needs someone up there with him to create space. When Sturridge is back (assuming Rodgers goes back to the diamond) he will have Sturridge with him creating space and Sterling just behind him which takes the midfielders away from him. For as long as Sturridge is injured, I would probably drop Balotelli and whilst it is fair to judge him as a lone striker, don't judge him altogether. When Sturridge is back give him another chance and I think you might be surprised.

The problem with him is his unreliability. He's obviously missed some sitters, but I don't think anyone doubts he's got ability. It's just that he rarely manages to put that ability too good use.

I think Samed Yeşil should be given a shot, he can't do any worse than what we already have.

EDIT: Or even Sinclair.

I find it unfair to scapegoat him on the dire performance of the entire team collectively. When he swapped his shirt with Pepe, it simply wasn't on but that incident is independent of his performance as a football player. If he was a massive **** but was scoring a goal every 100 minutes, nobody would be complaining but if he was struggling to make an impact and he was a massive ****, suddenly he's the reason we're playing such terrible football. Remind you of anyone - Ibra, Suarez for eg.

When Sturridge comes back, I'm pretty sure we won't miraculously become a top-4 team. Balotelli misfiring isn't the reason we're not in the top-4, he is merely one of the reasons we're not a top-4 side.

I think the Balotelli criticism is a bit OTT, despite me thinking he's the most overrated player in the world. He's a one in 3 or 4 kinda guy. Even at AC Milan, most of his goals were penalties and he put in some pathetic games at times.

Anyway, like I said, don't blame him for everything. Liverpool in general are a bit rubbish at the moment. Need to get 2 or 3 wins together. Alot of sides are struggling this year.

I slightly confused. Why do SkySports think anybody would rather watch Chelsea play than us? Someones going to get fired for that cock-up.

Problem is Liverpool got tie of last round. In theory this should have been the televised game though. But i guess it's good for the lower clubs and money they get. Looking forward to the game :beard:
