And Balotelli needs his own ball. Then he can just hang around outside the box hitting aimless balls in the general direction of the goal Do they not have any other forward in the squad? Surely even Lambert would offer more than Balotelli is.

Did I hear something about Rogers saying last season wasn't all down to Suarez? I'd beg to differ! To need two own goals and not even from deflected shots to beat QPR is hardly a step forward from last season.

I thought Lallana was very good last season but so far for Liverpool he seems to be spending more time putting his hair back in place than doing the creative things he did last year.
