Whatevs Balotelli has one assist in the prem ever (iirc)
If i were a Liverpool midfielder there is no way i'd bother putting the run in if Balotelli was on the ball.
Liverpool look really average as well so far this season
It's about pressing, and it's why they wanted Alexis Sanchez to replace Suarez. Suarez and Sturridge put so much pressure on the ball last season, Liverpool were rarely under heavy defensive pressure (and still conceded a bucketload). Balotelli doesn't even move.
