Mario Balotelli

[Skashion]

Maybe he is starting to finally grow up. Let's allow him to do that.

Just a helpful heads up. Growing up doesn't mean becoming a miserable twat like you.

Eh, less of the miserable!

 

[The perfect fumble]

"In that interview with Noel Gallagher, Mario was asked if he thinks he'll be the best player in the world and I cringed because he'll never be the best player in the world. His decision making can be poor, his balance is terrible, his passing is erratic, his effort levels can be questionable and his attitude can be unacceptable"

All the failings you listed can be corrected, they relate to technique and mental strength, not ability. whether these failings will be corrected is a matter for debate, but I would suggest that the indicators are good.
There is no doubt Mancini sees greatness in Balotelli and his frustration stems from Balotelli's inability to "harness" (direct and control) his great skill.
I can think of no better man than Mancini to mentor Balotelli and the indicators are that Ballotelli is beginning to realise it.

Mario just need referees which don't read tabloids

I agree. Mario will learn so much and work so well with Roberto. A lot of Mario's flaws are trainable and can be ironed out. And he has shown in some of the biggest games (FA Cup semi final, FA Cup final, Old Trafford derby (1-6), Euro1/4 v England, Euro1/2 v Germany) what he can do. Can't wait to see how good Mario Balotelli can be.

Sometimes people just look too deep, even so called experts and god knows how many more said we should not play Mario if we are to succeed (Tevez also), well if i am not mistaken he played the day we won the league(Tevez also) for the first time in 44 years. Let me not forget the classic, we will not succeed in Europe with Mario, is Euro 12 not classed as a Euro tournament. Oh yes another thing Lawro you prick, your comment last night was false again, when he has played for City down the middle he gives as much as he did last, retire you ill informing squirming jealous bag of shite, him and his partner are making the beeb a total embarrassment. I diverse, Mario is still young, successful and can win you a game in a flash, he just destroyed probably the second best country in Europe and he's ours and i would be gutted if we lost him

Totally agree with you mate. Not a single dangerous foul, fight or any other of his antics during the whole EURO 2012. When Croatian fans were throwing bananas at him, I thought that winded up as he was he'll do something wrong and do some damage, but he just got out stronger. He's getting mature, and I hope that he can continue to play at the same level for us.
