I was over Balotelli a long time ago. You can argue he wasn't being given supply from his team mates but I didn't see one moment where he tried to get himself in the game. He could have thought to himself "Okay that's enough now, I wanna go and make an impact on this game" but he didn't and we all know the majority of the time he never will!
It's a shame, talent like that being wasted on a big stage like today. It's also a shame he doesn't realise what he's got, he doesn't appreciate how good his life his, unlike Dzeko who knows how fortunate he is to lace up his boots, pull on his shirt and play on that pitch! He's lucky to have Mancini show so much faith in him too and he often gives him nothing in return.
One more season and he'll be gone, so here's to all the good Mario brings to the club 'cause I know he's gonna have some explosive performances this season and good luck in your selfish life when you leave.
