Crap defence, dire midfield, lazy-as-sin lone striker. Absolute ****.

Ignoring his clear frustration shots at not getting the ball, what do you propose he should be doing different as it would be no different to Sturridge other than Sturridge is more suited to being alone than him due to pace, he has got absolutely **** all.

It is amazing how Rodgers hasn't realised Mario is not a lone up front striker.

Particularly impressive because he was excellent when he played wide or off another striker for City but the games they left him isolated he was poor. he can score a goal out of nothing when confident and in form, which he isn't. But he was disappointing and basically got sold because Mancini started playing him upfront on his own when other players were injured and he wasn't good.
 
What is worse is that pundits and press alike are currently saying it is due to baloteli but forget the fact he up front alone doesn't work and fact our midfield make zero attempt to a) get the ball b) tackle and c) pass it to him
 
I love the Lovren stand behind Zamora tactic and let him chest it down, where as when he played RCB and Sakho was left he knew that Sakho should be dropping off those balls on the left side and he'd attack it from the diagonal, which ended up bad if he didn't win it as Sakho wouldn't do **** all, now that Skrtel or him do **** all he just chests it down and we're ****ed every single time. So incredibly ****.

Why? He's done considerably better than Hendo Can managed. Perhaps he realises draw is best case scenario unless coutinho and a second striker come on

Cause it also hasn't worked in the last 4 games,he does do better there but upfront leaves same issue no support,
