4) Mario Balotelli not the answer
A lot of Liverpool fans were pleased to see the Italian given a first Premier League start since November. Unfortunately, it’s a lot to ask of someone to come in and produce after that little amount of game-time, especially someone that’s always under such a degree of scrutiny. He didn’t play badly yesterday but his style of play just doesn’t suit the way Rodgers likes to play. Using him as a focal point of the attack makes everything too restricted.
