"Frustrating" is the word that came to mind every time I used to think of Balotelli. These days it's "Piss taker".
I used to be frustrated, because you can see the talent there. But more often than not it wasn't shown. If all the off field antics came hand in hand with match winning performances, I wouldn't have a problem. I work with lads who mess around all day, but are getting on with their work and get the job done. I also work with some lads who mess around all day, but fck all gets done. After a while it get frustrating, because you realise that the people who are working hard, are having to take up their slack. If it was the odd day, it wouldn't be so bad, but over time you realise they're just piss takers. It is not all about results either. Some lads don't achieve as much as others, but along as you can see them trying, it don't seem so bad.
My problem with Balotelli, is that he pisses about, gets fck all done and doesn't even care.
Walking straight down the tunnel when subbed, disappearing back home even when we win something, and his general lack of any sense that he loves the people who are paying his wages (us) doesn't endear himself to me. Where was he when we won the FA cup and the league? Even with all the problems we had with Tevez, he at least made the open top bus.
Bottom line....talented maybe, work shy definitely. My opinion, he doesn't give a shit, and he's a piss taker. I don't hate him, but he is taking up a place in the team for somebody else to take...
