In defence of Liverpool’s nine summer signings: One by one, by one – from Adam Lallana to Javier Manquillo

3) Mario Balotelli

The Italian HAS tried since his £16m summer arrival, but it’s just not happened for him. No Premier League goals have seen him labelled a flop, but he has notched a couple in the Cups. Balotelli should be judged though when het gets a chance to start alongside Daniel Sturridge. The pair have only played together once due to Sturridge’s lengthy injury – and we beat Spurs 3-0 away from home in the fixture. The pair dovetailed nicely, and Balotelli has openly admitted that he way prefers playing next to a strike partner. When Sturridge is fit again, we could use the diamond that worked so brilliantly in 2013/14, with Raheem Sterling behind the two forwards.
