Balo is a potential 40-50 mil player that went on the cheap for 16 mil because he's a risk and no one has got the best out of him. We took that risk so as to save a few million on a top top striker. It hasn't worked yet - but it's showing signs of improvement. He wears a red shirt so I'll support him and hope he succeeds...
Agree KP. Did anyone think it would be an easy ride with Mario and at a cut price punt for a reason? This was another media non-event. Watched the 'incident' a few times they weren't rowing over anything. Hendo calmly let's Mario take the ball and he proceeds to get on with it. It is only after Sturridge appears to step in whining that things looked worse.
I'm glad he took the ball. This is LFC. Henderson's model A professional footballer bit is prevalent in many many players in the league and that detracts far too much from the fact the guy has very few top drawer attributes including not being able to hit a barn door when he shoots. Mario didn't trust him with it anymore than most of us would have, and he won us the game. F_ck Redknapp.
Mario is improving everytime he gets on, if he continues to listen to the manager and what he is asking for, he will become that £40 million player. In fact, I quite like the edgy spirited side he brings to the team on the field. We need someone firing it all up out there and the guy knows how to rile the opposition to perfection.
I'm sticking with it- Rogers will get him over the line in the end, and the lad will come good.
