He's a fucking striker. Of course if you take away all his goals he hasn't played well.

I might start a thread or two later:

Has Joe Hart done any good saves if you take away all his saves.

If Tevez' hadn't scored 50+ goals would he still have been a good signing.

Although goals are obviously the most important thing for strikers, I'd like to see a little bit more from Balotelli in terms of performance and attitude.

It is not possible to simply have a passenger in the team who only scores goals.

Put it this way, can you name a successful striker who does not link up with the rest of his team and doesn't do that much else apart from score goals?

Jimmy Greaves and Gary Lineker spring to mind.

Bellendotelli is an overrated cock! Don't just dislike the player but the man.

He was in San Carlo a few days ago, dressed in black covered in gold. All his hanger-ons were there probably telling him how great he is.

Couldn't help himself shouting out to other tables - what a juvenille prick.

I could put up with the side show if he was any good but he aint!

To be fair you see him most weeks or read about him. And from that you base your judgement. Who's to say that if he ever came across you - he might form the same opinion of you.

too many stories. Plus it's a fact he's mates with El Hadji-Diouf.

Face it, the guy is a prize knobhead. Onlythe most blinkered City fans haven't accpeted it.

I reckon his performance against Sunderland is the new Mario. Seems like it's finally hit him that he needs to settle down and crack on like Mancini has said. Didn't have much of an impact on Monday but I think he'll work harder now and we'll begin to see him play well.

I based my judgement on his timid lacklustre performances for City along with his childish arrogant behaviour when I was unfortunate enough to be in range of his gobshite antics.
 
Balotelli for the winning goal in the Derby!!

Mancini: Balotelli can be a hero
April 13, 2011
By ESPN staff

Roberto Mancini has called on divisive striker Mario Balotelli to make himself a hero for Manchester City over the final few weeks of the season.

Balotelli, who joined the club last summer from Inter, has courted controversy this season for some of his antics on and off the pitch, incidents that have detracted from his ten goals for the club so far in all competitions.

But with some crucial games remaining in the season and injuries to many of his other strikers, Mancini hopes the 20-year-old can respond to the challenge in the right way - starting with the upcoming FA Cup semi-final against rivals Manchester United.

"Mario knows he must take more responsibility," said Mancini, who will wait to see if Carlos Tevez is fit for the game after limping off on Monday against Liverpool. "We have six league games, plus the semi-final and the final. I hope Mario can score important goals.

"He could be the hero. On Saturday, if he plays, he has a chance to do well. Maybe if he scores a goal it could take us to the final. That would change his year." Mancini also had encouraging words for January signing Edin Dzeko, whose troubles adjusting to his new surroundings the Italian compared to Chelsea's goalless forward Fernando Torres.

"We need Dzeko to be good now," Mancini said. "He has the same problem that Fernando Torres has at Chelsea.

"Dzeko is a fantastic striker but when you join a team in January, he has new team-mates and a new manager with new methods."

That can't be Mario. Some on here have told me that he has absolutely no ability and doesn't do anything well. If Mario plays with confidence and the fans get behind him he will start producing stuff like this all the time. Come on super Mario. Tear the fuck out of Vidic on saturday.

He's just too imature, thats all it is.

Sometimes he looks like one of the best strikers in the world but he just has the wrong attitude and work rate.

Cant we put Dzeko's attitude with Balotelli's ability? Some sort of magic super glue, then we'd have a perfect striker.
 
I've had a real hard time being positive about Mario..I really have. Every game I go to and see him play, I get more and more frustrated with him....but...

...when I go to Wembley...and Tevez is out....I have to believe he will shine...

...this is your time Mario....

....MAKE US BELIEVE YOU WANT TO PLAY FOR CITY!!!!

COME ON CITY, COME ON CITY, COME ON CITY......AAAARGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Phew...needed to get that out....:)
