suarez is quick, has a great turn of pace n from chasing defenders down to through balls a tireless runner also

 

lightening quick may be an exaggeration but not even that big, in close quarters he clearly moves faster than avg. lets not get bogged down in semantics doe

 

i expected balotelli to fit in at liverpool but tbh that was a bit stupid, what does he offer that lambert doesn't apart from tekkers that are never constantly in use

 

wud it be wrong to say balotelli best excels in a system where the approach is more patient, the pace more pedestrian?

 

maybe thats abit lazy but to think he wud excel in liverpools (of old) high octane, constant pressure n super fluid 1 is lazier still

 

still like u say its early days

[The Infamous]

time will tell but your concern is one a lot had before we made this signing

just bemused with how different balo's game is compared to how he played in his first stint in england. he was trickier,more dynamic etc

apart from sanchez we didn't have any replacements for Suarez which would have been good enough to bridge the quality that was lost imo when Luis Suarez decided his exit. its quite suicidal and poor by the club is something i agree on . I'm not totally biased I can criticise the club/gaffer, but more than willing to allow Balo a season to adapt to his team mates and system

[Yeshua]

150k

Deserves every penny.

 

On his way to being top 5 striker in the world like i said a while ago and got like 12 negs for.

 

General public has always hated on Sturridge.

[Yeshua]

 

 

If Balo gets motivated he might actually be a player.

I just don't see it happening and he looks like he's regressing, been riding on hype for a while now

Balotelli will be alright when Danny is back creating space with his runs

Our whole attack has been dead. Sterling has dipped in form.Gerrard has been so so etc

But he's barely making runs himself though, space or not

Think Sterling is being overused as well he's going to be inconsistent he's still young ,

 

 

He isn't, hes had one bad game all season.

[darkman]

 

Everyone Liverpool fan I know and on here thought you could have decent season. Deluded

 

We will do, once our other world class striker comes back.

 

 

You will see a less prolific Sturridge this season

 

What do you think of the way he's handling Balotelli?

 

Badly. Shouldn't be critisising him publically

[The Infamous]

Shouldn't criticise balotelli publicly

Hes 24 not 16

Needs to man up also Rodger didn't criticise him he just spoke about his performances so far and what he expects

should know better to reply to u dark man

People have been saying that for the last 18 months it hasn't happened.....

darkman is a c*nt

go make threads waxing lyrical about suarez like you even rated him for that long

just saw him go on wicked mode when we saw him dribble past 5 mancs on his debut and knew he was special

gtfo

sturridge is better than every player you rate

You ever see Wenger criticise one of his players? I don't rate Balo but don't think it's the right thing to do. Should be backing him even if he thinks he should be doing better

 

This whole "should know better than reply to you" is getting boring. Give it a rest

 

Yeshua - Difference is your team has dropped a level now

smhhh ur whole style of positing is boring ur just going off the easiest thing which is Suarez left etc

but I'm telling you he didn't criticise him but just said our strikers play between the lines and don't drop deep as much as mario does and that he didn't score the goals he thought he would have 6 games in (which is true)

how is that exactly a attack also Idc what wenger does wenger doesn't manage liverpool football club

Nah not really, can't say were any less worse right now than the period of Sturridge first 6 months at the club, he was still scoring at alarming rates even then so...

 

Maybe its about time we just realize him for the world class talent he is, and stop trying to forsee his falling off, its not going to happen anytime soon, he is 25 in the prime of his career and an instinctive finisher with great all round ability, he can makes goals for himself even when our team isn't creating chances.

[darkman]

It's not the easiest thing to say, its facts

 

Suarez put your team on another level. Now he's gone your back to where your were before as BR has near enough said today

 

If you was Balotelli how would you feel reading the below?

 

 

"In terms of goals he needs to improve, it is as simple as that," said Rodgers.

"Not just him but any striker is judged on goals and at this moment he hasn't probably hit the numbers he would want to."

Balotelli did not touch the ball in the opposition penalty area during Liverpool's Champions League defeat to Basel on Wednesday, but his manager offered a qualified defence.

"That is down to the team. You have to get yourself into those areas but it was about the service arriving in and our quality wasn't to the standard," added Rodgers.

"But you also have to be able to score and create goals yourself as a front player and he didn't do that."

 

 

When Balotelli joined Liverpool in August, Rodgers conceded buying the former Manchester City player was "a calculated risk". He now says there were no available alternatives to replacing Suarez as deadline day approached.

"I always said it was about availability and affordability of players. Mario was the one right at the very end who was available

He's not world class no way. He's done well for you guys but let's face facts, he still wouldn't be goon enough to lead Chelsea's line

whats wrong with u

can't you read between the lines. dumb guy

hating on sturridge and rating pato smh

[darkman]

I do not hate Sturridge just don't think he's world class

 

As for Pato he was another planet to Daniel ability wise

He's a world class talent, he could lead anyone in the PL line.

 

36 goals in 50 games better than Torres, Fowler Owen, and technically Sturridge>>..all of those players.

 

That is a world class talent to me, only thing he doesn't have is European experience.

 

But hes scored against Chelsea, City United, Spurs, Arsenal, Everton all in the last 18 months.

 

I wouldn't trade him for any striker in the world bar the one who we've just sold and i'm justified in saying that.

You don't know what ability is.

 

Only thing Pato has over him is explosiveness, Sturridge close control dribbling touch finishing are as good as Pato's.

 

If Sturridge came out of the favelas of Brazil the arse licking would be incredible.

Lol at Pato being on another planet to Sturridge ability wise, Sturridge is too skilfful for a guy that prolific, yet people seem to have a complex about rating him sufficiently, i don't know why.

[O Fenomeno]

thats a lot of people i was seeing people saying Welbeck>studge cos he scored the other day

smh

Sturridge's dribbling,shooting,runs,finishing is fucked. Suarez took a lot of his positions and vice versa. He is the man which he wanted to be the whole time and now is the time tbh

When he said he wanted to replicate his game around Rivaldo in 2012 I knew it was a wrap

[O Fenomeno]

How great and greedy was Rivaldo

[The Infamous]

How great and greedy was Rivaldo

Yeah SAS worked but they deffo wasn't mates

Both got big egos

I reckon him and Balo can work too with some tactical tweaking

[O Fenomeno]

Balotelli is a waste of time(boring to watch,very boring because all he does is walk and shoot)

Until he starts working for the team

Your playing with one less attacking players

Gerrard has only got set pieces

Defence is a mess(Lovren WOW)

As for your keeper? No words

Markovic he can carry a ball over long distances

He needs to be more calm

He does everything at 100mph
