Im not into slating players. The other week everyone was saying how poor Barry was but he's doing really well today.
I think Balo isn't having the best of times the last couple of games and so I'd like a straight swap soon for Dzeko to see how he does.
He's got a bit more fight and desire and I think he could play a big part in the game.
Nonsense, The last 3 games Balo has played in (United, Blackburn and today) have been his best games for us, every game previous he just lurked about, looking for a pass so that he could hit a speculative shot. Recently he's been playing for the team and not looking for the glory.
He often comes into the midfield to receive passes and drag defenders so that Yaya can run past him. These are things that people don't realise... the typical mentality that "if a striker isn't scoring goals, he's playing shit" isn't always the case. Balo hasn't done anything wrong except maybe he should have hit his shot first time when he had the chance.
