Balotelli: being a " character" is not enough (merged)

Re: being a " character" is not enough

I'd actually like to see him dropped just to show him he needs to do ALOT better. Dzeko has looked really sharp the last 2 games and I think he deserves to start a few games ahead of him.

So basically after Mancini finally settling on a starting 11 and that team winning 3 games on the spin you think we should start changing again?

Bearing in mind I have already given clearly to all what Balotellis contribution was today.

It's not "changing" it's rotation. Balotelli has started a lot of the last few games and not done that much despite your list it's not enough. I don't even know if Balotelli had a shot on target today perhaps you could tell me but all I know is Dzeko is starting to look the player we thought he would be when we signed him scored last match, looked sharp today and had a hell of a shot saved I think we owe him a few starts.

Most players if given that same chance would score that goal against Villa if they attempted to in the same way, only about 1 in 10 maybe.

Hah. Not on your Nelly.

The goal against Fulham was a more classical, less extravagant demonstration of the art of shooting. Bet you'd forgotten about that one too.

Shot from 35 yards in the semi-final? Anyone could have done that.

The goal against Fulham was fine goal. Nothing really special just a good goal.The shot at Wembley was a hit and hope one that the keeper saved fairly easily.

So how many games have you had to go back to find 2 things worthy of a mention?

Not done enough yet all those games he started we won and he was involved in all the goals. Hahahaha. He had the most shots on goal and besides Yaya covered the most distance. So there goes your "has not done enough" argument.

My mistake clearly. And for that reason, I'm out.

Read the words carefully. I was praising him on that one and saying other players might manage the same effort 1 in 10. So what come up with more examples if you can?

Balo had one off the bar and one off the line.

There is no need for rotation when we are playing one game a week. If anything if we win on saturday Balotelli will be rested against Spurs for the cup final.

Re: being a " character" is not enough

He's a fucking striker. It's his job to score goals and he hasn't done that in ages. It dosen't matter if he runs around alot. We can't keep relying on the midfield or defence to score our goals because one day they won't and we'll be fucked.

Christ, what was Tevez's last moment of brilliance? I genuinely can't remember.

PMSL so you want to play a guy who has 1 prem goal to his name?
