What did you make of Balotelli yesterday? I know its very early, but that was as poor as I have seen from him, for any of his clubs. He seemed far too subdued and "calm". Everyone has been making such a big deal of his attitude problems. His lack of reaction to intimidation seems to have taken something away from his game. I remember him being far more aggressive and flamboyant at Man city. I think if he lumped Senderos one, and got a red, even that may have galvanised the team and crowd.
I think you're better off taking a chance on unleashing the lunatic Balotelli who would have battered Senderos into submission, than this version of Balotelli who does not look like he would do anything daft, but may not do much else either.When he looks fired up, hes unplayable. You don't want him to go from why always me to why never me .
